The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert 

Books Read this Week: 

(a.k.a. the week I read all Entangled Romances. No regrets!) 


Cinderella & the Geek by Christina Phillips: Very cute & perfect for fans of Meg Cabot's rom-coms. It took a while for the characters to grow on me, but once I got to about 25% I was hooked. Look out for my review next week!

Straight Up Irish by Magan Vernon: THIS GAVE ME ALL THE FEELS. I expected to like it but never did I expect to love it as much as I did. I can't wait for the next two brothers to get their own book & romance! 

Baby on the Bad Boy's Doorstep by Victoria James: Sweet & short. I loved the hero.

A Baby for the Billionaire by Victoria Davies: Friends-to-lovers trope, which I always love, AND an adorable baby named Hunter...I was hooked to say the least!  

The Millionaire's Gamble by Sarah Ballance: Enjoyed this one way more than I expected! 

Taken by the CEO (The Scandalous Wentworths #1) by Stefanie London: White lies, false identities, and a swoon-worthy hero! 

This Week's Posts: 

Wednesday: Blog Tour for I Stop Somewhere by TE Carter. Check out my review & a GIVEAWAY!
Friday: Blog Tour for Devil's Gold by Amanda McKinney. Check out my review & a GIVEAWAY

Life Update: 

How is it already the weekend? This week FLEW by! Not to mention it's almost March! This week was quick but good. We had unusually warm temps on Wednesday - 80!!- and I was in HEAVEN. I broke out my flip flops because I just couldn't resist - you have to take advantage of warm days, especially when they happen in February. But by Thursday we were back to rain & low 40s :( 

I can't wait to read Stay Sweet. It's been so long since I've read a book by Siobhan. I'm also excited/nervous to see if I love or hate The Hazel Wood. I'm hoping for love, but we'll see. 

The one thing that blew my mind this week, though, was the accident that occurred in the tunnel on the PA turnpike. A electrical conduit smashed a windshield and killed the driver. I drive through that tunnel about 4-6 times a month - I even drove through it this past Monday - so it's unsetting to say the least. Crazy how these things can happen. 

Anyhow, have a great week everyone!

  1. I can't believe February is almost over! We tried to take advantage of the nice weather, too - that day I cut out of work a little early so we could go for a walk around the neighborhood! Now it's just raining a lot!

    Have a great week!

  2. I turned all three of my calendar pages over to March. I love doing that! March is a month I enjoy.

    Stay Sweet looks tempting...and I've been seeing The Hazel Wood around.

    Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

  4. I am still hoping I get approved for Stay Sweet. Vivian is hit or miss for me, but this one sounds really good. Look at your awesome wins. I really want to read Let's Talk About Love. We got The Hazel Wood at BEA, but I am still not sure about it. Hope you enjoy all your new books and that there are no more disasters on your drive.

  5. Eeeep how is almost March??!! It's just insane!

    Sorry to hear about that accident. That does sound really scary. Ugh how horrible.

    Hope you love The Hazel Wood! I've heard mixed things about it, so I'd be interested to hear what you think.
    Have a lovely week, Lauren!

  6. Oh I'm sorry to hear about that driver! How awful. Scary stuff especially when you know the area!

    I've been thinking the Hazel Wood sounds pretty good. Hope you enjoy!!

    I love it when it gets warm like that! Especially in February. 80's sounds so good right now :)

  7. The Hazel Wood is one that I keep seeing and I think I'm going to give it a read. This year is already flying by and this weather needs to settle into Spring. Hope you have a great week!

  8. I keep thinking about giving The Hazel Wood a try. Maybe I'll have to put a hold on it at the library. I'm having the opposite of your weather problem. I live in AZ and its normally warm in the 70's and 80's now, but the past week its been a bit rainy and cold, only around the 50's. Lol. Actual winter weather is an odd occurrence here. LOL.
