Review: The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
First off, this is the same duo that wrote The Wife Between Us, which I haven't read. I know, I know. However, I now have to pick it up, because I really enjoyed The Golden Couple.
Read It In Order: Shadowhunters
The world of the Shadowhunters is super confusing. I consider myself lucky, in a way, that I started reading these books way back when City of Bones first came out, because I'm not entirely sure I would know where to start if I picked them up today -- which is why I'm writing this post.

Review: Book Lovers by Emily Henry

Obviously, my reading pace is limited, but there are so many new releases out there that deserve love and attention.

Review: The Candy House by Jennifer Egan
This is my first Jennifer Egan book, though I definitely heard wonderful things about A Visit from the Goon Squad. That being said, I'm quite pleased with The Candy House being my introduction.
