A Date with Darcy (Bookish Boyfriends, #1)


Review: A Date With Darcy - Book #1 Bookish Boyfriends - Tiffany Schmidt - May 2018



I have always loved books with a take on the classics like Austen, Shakespeare's, Brontë’s, and Louisa May Alcott's. So, when I saw this cutesy YA read "A Date with Darcy" I knew I had to give it a go and read it. I liked this YA read as it had a magical spark to the book that reminded me of Cara Lockwood's Bard High series. In A Date with Darcy, we meet Merrilee and her best friend Eliza. They have recently transferred to a new private school. For Eliza, her parents are happy as they are famous scientists but for Merrilee, she loves the literary side and the English syllabus. Her English teacher takes teaching and reflection to the next level as she has her students writing as they read. Merilee's English teacher talks about how they are living their versions of the classics and how they can be related to life in today's world. The first book that gets read in class is Romeo and Juliet and Merrilee will be caught up in her own Romeo and Juliet tale with school hottie Monroe as she discovers his father is her sister's MIL opponent for the Senator seat - thus warring families. The relationship is also very intense and moves very quickly. The second half of the book is the reading of Pride and Prejudice where she discovers that maybe Monroe was her Wickham and that the boy, she hates with a passion who always seems to rile her up - the headmaster’s son might be her Mr. Darcy.  If you love Literary classics that are given a 21st-century spin then check out the Bookish Boyfriends series by Tiffany Schmidt. It also features diversity, different personalities, and LGBT+ strands.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
