Short N’Sweet Book Review: Well Traveled by Jen Deluca

Leave a comment

Welcome to the Short N’ Sweet Book Review! For the ten years that I’ve been reviewing books on this blog, I’ve written long, wordy reviews that, let’s be honest, not a lot of people are probably reading. I’ve recently  decided to shorten those reviews and get straight to the point – what is this book about, who wrote it, where you can find and a short review on what I loved, liked and maybe thought could be better.

Today’s review is the fourth installment in Jen Deluca‘s fantastic ren faire romance series, Well Traveled!

Leave a comment

The best part of a brand new year is knowing all the new things that are THAT much closer to you. All those movies and tv shows and books that said COMING 2023 felt so far away but now it’s 2023 and they’re almost here! There are lots of great things coming this year and here are some of the ones I’m most looking forward to!

I’m sure there are SO many more that I’m missing so if you notice one that should be on there, let a nerd girl know!

Sara’s Favorite Reads of 2022!

1 Comment

All right, let’s be real guys – I didn’t read much in 2022, not when compared to other years. In previous years, I’ve reached an end of year count as high as 200 books in one year. This year? Well, not so much. I ended 2022 with 51 books under my belt and a good chunk of those were re-reads. There was a LOT on my mind in 2022 – my wedding, transferring at my job and transitioning to a full time schedule, losing my grandma and my nana, and so much more. I also really, super got into true crime podcasts this year – True Crime Obsessed, Obsessed with Disappeared and Let’s Go to Court – and so that took up most of my time!

That being said, I managed to round up some of my favorite books that I read this year and I wanted to share them with you!

Holiday Romance Movies Aren’t Good…But That’s Okay!

Leave a comment

It’s that time of years, guys. Christmas! Hanukkah! Kwanzaa! Winter Solstice! ALL THE GOOD THINGS!

And while everyone is gearing up for the end of the year and whatever that might entail for you, everyone is also fighting that one little devil that seems to appear every winter when the days get shorter and the nights get colder – SAD. Oh yeah. Seasonal affective disorder. I live in California, ostensibly one of the sunniest and warmest of states and it still hits me hard every single year. Add that in with the stress that comes with the end of the year like presents and spending time with family and I’m usually a total mess during this time of year.

So how do I deal with that?

Well, I watch as many holidays movies as I possibly can!

Nerd Girl Interview with Author Bridget Morrissey!

1 Comment

Guys! I am so beyond excited for todays post because it’s an interview with an awesome person and an equally awesome author! It’s been a long time since I’ve had an interview on the blog and I’m so stoked that Bridget is the one to be bringing them back.

I read Bridget’s most recent release, A Thousand Miles, and fell absolutely in love. It has everything that I love – best friends who fall in love, road trips, weird food and even baseball. When I discovered how cool Bridget is during my constant praise of this book, I just knew I HAD to have her here on the blog.

And unsurprisingly, the interview just made me adore her more, especially once we bonded over our love for early 2000s pop punk and emo music, like Something Corporate. Anyone who shows love for SoCo is my kind of person!

So let’s do this guys!
