Audiobook review: Silver Charms by Kate Moseman Silver Charms opens shortly after the conclusion of the first Midlife Elementals tale.

The Forever Girl Author: Jill Shalvis Reviewer: Jennifer Rating: B What I’m Talking About: The Forever Girl is the sixth book in the Wildstone series but the series is really a series of standalone books since the only thing connecting each installment is the town, so feel free to jump in with The Forever Girl […]
In a Holidaze Author: Christina Lauren Reviewer: Jennnifer Rating: B What I’m Talking About After Christina Lauren’s last book, The Honey-Don’t List, missed the mark for me I was antsy about diving into their new release, In a Holidaze.
