Review | You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn

12.31.2018 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

**Disclaimer: I received a free copy of You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn through NetGalley for review purposes.  Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for this opportunity.

You’d Be Mine is the story of Annie Mathers and Clay Coolidge.  Clay is the quintessential country rockstar. He sings songs about beer, babes, and trucks; he’s a superstar.  Annie, on the other hand, is an up and coming country star whose deceased parents are country royalty. Clay, who has a bit of a bad boy reputation, is charged with recruiting Annie, and her band, to play on his summer tour so that he can put himself back in his label’s good books.  She reluctantly agrees and they end up touring the United States together. But while touring, country music isn’t the only thing that’s brewing. Could there be a bit of love in the air?

Ashley’s 2018 Reading Wrap Up

12.31.2018 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

This year was a crazy year for me with reading!  I grew my bookstagram to over 1600 followers, I started a book blog with Kari, and I read a whopping 231 books!  It’s been an excellent year and I’m so thankful for all I’ve achieved.

I was trying to think of some way to wrap up my reading year, and trying to wrack my brain for ideas.  I saw a friend who did a one sentence review for every book she read this year, but I didn’t want to do that because I didn’t think anyone would want to read it!  231 is a lot of reviews! I decided, instead, that I would just go through my 2018 Reading Resolutions and let you know how I did on each one of them!

Misc Monday | 27 Books to Read in my 27th Year

12.03.2018 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Today I turn 27! It is both exciting and terrifying because I feel like now I’m fully into my late 20s and that’s scary.  It doesn’t help that I feel like I haven’t achieved a lot in my life, though people who know me will give me a pep talk and tell me that teaching isn’t nothing.  And that’s very true, it isn’t nothing. I am very proud of my teaching and love my job very much. That doesn’t make 27 any less scary and that doesn’t stop me from making comparisons to other people in my life.

A: When I was little I was obsessed with Nancy Drew books.  I’d take two out of the library each week and read them.  One year I joined this club at the local library and part of it was doing this newsletter thing that included an author profile.  I suggested Carolyn Keene because Nancy Drew was amazing so obviously so was the author.  Then the librarian told me that Carolyn Keene wasn’t real and it broke my little reader heart.

Hi friends 💙 So we all know Geralt is from the Hi friends 💙

So we all know Geralt is from the school of the Wolf. However, there’s also the Cat (also known to produce “evil”), Bear, Griffin, Viper, Manticore, and Crane. I think I’d like to be part of the Wolf or the Bear or Viper schools to be honest!

That being said, what are some of your favorite books with animals in them?

Hope your Sunday is going well. I just finished by case brief and compare and contrast for my class, so I’m feeling rather accomplished right now.

What are you currently reading?

Right now I’m reading A Song of Wraiths and Ruins. It’s so good!

I’m excited to pick up this badass lady series as well.
