Hello friends, this week’s selection is an adult book, a guide of sorts shall we say. It spoke to me from the shelves and made me pick it up. Wouldn’t it have been romantic if I had read this while lounging somewhere tropical? Sadly, the truth was that I ended up reading it on my lunch breaks at work to several raised eyebrows from colleagues who were piqued at the title. So, if you’re up for it, press the button below to find out more…

Hi everyone, in the spirit of all things summer, I give you a teen story set over a summer vacation in Spain. I know what you’re thinking, my connecting theme is ‘Summer’ but I would have to vehemently shake my head and reply, ‘Just a happy accident!’ Any-who, I hope to see you below soon…

Hi everyone, I planned this post several weeks ago and in the beginning I was intending on giving you a few short reviews in one post. Since then, I’ve had to think really hard about my choices and decided on giving you just one book instead. To be honest, the majority of sports-themed teen reads I found had very few scenes on the field and more indoors, so I had to abandon that strategy and look further. In the end, the title I decided to review came to me by way of one of my colleagues in the library I work for. (Thanks Kathy 🙂) I hope you all enjoy the title I’m sharing with you this week.

I believe that even if forewarned, one can’t assume much from just a mere review post. You will have to let your curiosity wander through and find out if this read and its subsequent installments fulfill all requirements…
