Topic: Books on My Summer 2023 to-Read List
I don’t really make a tbr because I’m a terrible mood reader but I have some arcs to read so these are my summer reading list!
Ledge by Stacey Mcewan Chasm by Stacey Mcewan Ravensong by TJ Klune The Lightstruck by Sunya Mara Never a Hero by Vanessa Len
Her Radiant Curse by Elizabeth Lim Alone in Ether by Olivie Blake Mindbreaker by Kate Dylan Paris by Paris Hilton Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
The second I stepped through the doors of Gray Wolf Academy, my world disintegrated. Here, time is malleable. It can be manipulated, shifted. Changed. And for those of us who Trip—or travel through time—the possibilities are infinite and perilous.
Now my life is caught in the secrets of everyone around me. Arthur, the eccentric billionaire who rules this school. Killian, who could be the only honest person here…or the biggest liar. And Braxton, magnetic, gorgeous, and unfathomable. The only thing I trust about him is our electric connection.
Whether we’re Tripping through Renaissance Italy or thieving from a ball in Regency England, my life’s become a web of lies and strange truths. And beneath the surface is an elaborate puzzle, filled with cryptic symbols and priceless treasures scattered across history—all somehow connected to my strange ability to see through time.
But Arthur has a dangerously ambitious agenda. And if what my dad taught me is true, I’m not just a threat to everyone at Gray Wolf.
…I’m a threat to time itself.
Back at Gray Wolf Academy!
And it was fabulous!
Natasha, Braxton, Killian and co are on the slippery slope of lies, deceit and there are secrets at every angle – who to trust?!
The above was delivered flawlessly and I ate up every moment! Braxton forevs!!!!
If you are thinking of reading this series then I urge you to because it is a gem!

Hi everyone, hope you’ve had a good week?
What a week. It was so hot here, so disgustingly muggy and humid! I spent the week under my fan googling how much air conditioning costs (it’s a lot!!)
Today is Fathers Day in the UK so we saw my Dad (and we had food to celebrate last night!) but apart from work and school, that’s all we’ve done this week!

Review – Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood Review – The Maid by Nita Prose Review – Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas Unboxing – Fairyloot YA: May 2023
Catalina Martín desperately needs a date to her sister’s wedding. Especially since her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows—including her ex and his fiancée—will be there and eager to meet him.
She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic and aid in her deception. New York to Spain is no short flight and her raucous family won’t be easy to fool.
Enter Aaron Blackford—her tall, handsome, condescending colleague—who surprisingly offers to step in. She’d rather refuse; never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling, and insufferable man.
But Catalina is desperate, and as the wedding draws nearer, Aaron looks like her best option. And she begins to realize he might not be as terrible in the real world as he is at the office.
I do love a fake dating read!
Catalina needs a date for her sisters wedding in Spain after she has told a large white lie about having an American boyfriend!
Enter colleague and arch-nemesis Aaron Blackford! Catalina doesn’t have any other options and Aaron has an alterior motive.
I really enjoyed this book! It wasn’t strung out, had just the right amount of tension and I loved the banter and I now admit I have a crush on Aaron! He knows what he wants and goes for it!
A good romance read so I say you should go for it!
Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misreads the intentions of others. Her gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by.
Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has been navigating life’s complexities all by herself. No matter—she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. She delights in donning her crisp uniform each morning, stocking her cart with miniature soaps and bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection.
But Molly’s orderly life is upended the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself dead in his bed. Before she knows what’s happening, Molly’s unusual demeanor has the police targeting her as their lead suspect. She quickly finds herself caught in a web of deception, one she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, friends she never knew she had unite with her in a search for clues to what really happened to Mr. Black—but will they be able to find the real killer before it’s too late?
A Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different—and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart.
Oh this was a listen I didn’t know I needed!
Molly is a maid in a hotel and one day there’s a mess she can’t clean!
Armed with some newly found friends, she sets out to put things right…..because things need to be right!
I loved Molly so much. She struggles with social interactions, with people and has her set of ‘rules’ she follows as set by her Gran to help her. I was so mad how people treated her and totally take advantage of her!
I won’t say anymore about the plot but just tell you that you need this book in your life. It was quirky, unique and a total 5 star read. That little twist at the end was superb!

THEME: Bookish Wishes
I don’t normally do stuff like this as it feels a bit grabby but I couldn’t think of another topic so I’m doing it!!!

The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.
Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and broody older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And that same Jack who now sits on the hiring committee at MIT, right between Elsie and her dream job.
Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but…those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she’s with him? Will falling into an experimentalist’s orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?
Okay so I think this is my fave AH book yet and that’s saying something because I was a goner for TLH!
Elsie Hannaway sees herself as medium. At everything. She’s a people pleaser to an exteme! I loved her. More than life itself because she gives and she gives and she gives. I wanted to grab her up and cuddle her and protect her….and this is why I am a fan of old Jackie boy. Because he does in the most exquisite way!
‘Easy peasy, photons squeezy.’
All I can say is you need to read this! You won’t be disappointed, I guarantee it!

Hi everyone, hope you’ve had a good week?
Back to school and work for us this week and, surprisingly, we didn’t feel too tired! Maybe it’s the summer air making us feel good!
My son had his brace tightened this week and I had an office day but otherwise it’s been a normal week!
I seem to be getting my groove back with reading so hoping I’ve seen the back of the slump!
