Oops I’ve Fallen by Max Monroe Narrated by Alexander Cendese and Stephanie Rose I’m not sure how to review Oops, I’ve Fallen by Max Monroe.

I reviewed 7 Books in July and compiled a huge list of Books about Books (or authors, bookstores, publishing). In my head, I rate books like I see the Amazon Ratings.

Kiss My Putt (Summersweet Island Book 1) by Tara Sivec “Palmer ‘Pal’ Campbell has epic breakdown on the 18th hole of the Bermuda Open!

Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens Narrated by Cassandra Campbell I bought Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens a few years ago and tried to start it a few times.

I have a few that are stuck in my head and… Read More
So Not Meant To Be by Meghan Quinn Narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter Despite not being marked as a series, So Not Meant to Be by Meghan Quinn is best read after A Not So Meet Cute.
