Batter Royale by Leisl Adams

I loved how there were actual recipes sprinkled throughout the book. The main character was fun to read about, and the romance was sweet. The baking competition was also an intriguing element. My only comment would be that I wish it were a bit longer and the plot more drawn out.

I was in the mood to start a new manga series and this one was cute! Definitely a slow-paced and low-stakes read.

A classic! I've loved the many movie versions, so this year, I decided to read the original material and I was not disappointed!

This was very Hallmark Christmas movie-like. The romance was sweet but I found some aspects to be unbelievable. But I liked the happy ending!

I enjoyed this second book in the series more than the first. It was fun getting to see my favourite characters again and see Molly in her promoted role at the hotel. However, I felt that the ending was a bit rushed.

This was the perfect Christmassy mystery read! I couldn't get enough of the romance and was rooting for the main character the whole time. The locked room mystery was engaging, and the old mansion and the famous author backstory were intriguing. I'll definitely be recommending this!

I had high expectations going into this book after I had heard great things about it. I enjoyed the mystery and had to know what happened next. I also liked Molly's character development and how she worked on her confidence and relationships with her coworkers and friends. This book also deals with grief very heavily. All in all, I enjoyed reading The Maid, but at times it felt slow.

This was a cute read, I especially loved the vet clinic setting and the pets. Unfortunately I felt that the relationship was a bit rushed. I think if it had been a full length book I would have enjoyed it more.

Ant-Man (Scott Lang) is one of my favourite Marvel characters, so I was excited to see that his book from the movies was an actual book! I liked the recap of Scott's adventures and the moral lessons he had to offer. However, at times, it did drag which took away from my enjoyment.
