Playing with Matches

Title: Playing with Matches
Author: Hannah Orenstein
Rating: 4/5 Stars

  Sasha´s life would make others envious. A job as a matchmaker and she has a successful, handsome boyfriend admits New York, which is easier said than done and why people flock to matchmakers and dating apps. Being a matchmaker means Sasha is constantly trolling Tinder, coaching clients through dates and heartbreak, giving dating advise when she barely has any to give, and helping others find their One and the happy ending that goes with it. Sasha´s job only has one rule: no dating the clients; which should not be an issue because Sasha has Johnathan- until she doesn´t. Soon the only rule at work becomes harder to follow. Is Sasha willing to risk everything for her own happy ending?
  I was initially drawn to this book because of the cover and title. Plus, the idea of reading about a matchmaker sounded highly entertaining. Throughout the book, I felt a roller coaster of emotions. I felt everything from laughing and cheering Sasha on to wanting to shake some sense into her. This is a quick and fun read that I´ll surely recommend to others. My only question is: will there be a sequel?! Because that ending... WOW!

The Hotel Between

Title: The Hotel Between Author: Sean Easley Rating: 3.5/5 Stars On Sale: September 4th    Cam and Cass have never met their parents. They have been told their mother died and their dad disappeared after dropping off the twins with their Oma. Cam thinks there must be more to the story, surely their dad would not abandon them- would he?     The answer to the question presents itself in the form of a mysterious door which leads to The Hotel Between. While Cam is not initially welcomed he eventually gains access- thanks to his new friend and hotel worker, Nico. This hotel is unlike anything Cam has seen before. It has the capabilities to transport you around the world, it has statues that are more than just statues and an abundance of questions and mysteries that are waiting to be discovered. Cam knows the Hotel has the answers he is looking for, but how hard will it be to find answers he is looking for? And will they be what he expected?   Wh...

My History with Reading

   For as long as I can remember I´ve always loved reading. As hard as my parents tried to cultivate readers amongst me and my two younger brothers, I was the only one who genuinely enjoyed it. In fact, my younger brother once had dreams of being a lawyer until he found out how much reading and writing was required. 😂   As for me, I read to everyone and everything. I remember the first book I read alone was Hop on Pop courtesy of Dr. Seuss. When my brothers did not want to listen to me read I would gather my stuffed animals and line them up all while pretending to play librarian or teacher. (I even heald the book the right way so ¨the children¨ could see the pictures.) When I was in 3rd grade my teacher, Mrs. Warmelink, read aloud Matilda using different voices for each character and I thought to myself ¨I want to be a teacher when I grow up so I can do read books and use different voices. (Fast forward 20 years and my dream became a reality, although I teach math...

Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass

Title: Harley Quinn Breaking Glass Author: Mariko Tamaki Rating: 3/5 stars (due to the length of excerpt) For Sale: June 4, 2019 I´ve always been obsessed with superheroes and comic books (thanks dad!) and with Harley Quinn being one of my favorites I knew this was a must read. (If my husband and I would have had a girl her name would have been Hailey Quinn. Instead, we have a dog named Loki and a son named Parker, yes named after Peter Parker.) Thanks to NetGalley I received an early excerpt of this graphic novel. We are introduced to Harleen Quinzel who goes to live with her grandma- only her grandma has died so she is now living in an apartment with a drag queen who goes by Mama. We also get a chance to see how Harley- excuse me Harleen- becomes friends with Ivy, yes THE Ivy. While the excerpt was only 28 pages long I am excited and eager to read the remaining novel when it is released next year. Use the button below to add this book to your Goodreads account! ...
