My Reading Getaway

 I'm so excited to share with you the beautiful cover for Olivia Spring's new book, When's the Wedding? This highly anticipated sequel to Only When It's Love , will be available on 25March2021. Don't worry if you have not read Only When It's Love  as you have about two months before publication date or if your TBR pile is too big (as mine may be!), it can be read as a standalone book. A little bit about the book -  She’s found the perfect man. Will she get her perfect proposal?

It represents Josh and his trouble speaking and how he has to come up with different ways to communicate. It also repres...

In a Book Club Far Away, Tif Marcelo brings her amazing ability to help characters heal to make a wonderful book. Three military spouses met at a book club near the time their husbands deployed. Fast forward 10 years and the two of the three do not talk with each other. The third woman tries to bring her friends back together.

I also loved how each chapter started with a book from the quote the book club would read in that chapter. I found ...
