Amber

I'm a northern Minnesota gal who loves long runs along Lake Superior followed by a large light roast and a stack of books. I'm in digital marketing by day, blogger by night. Always dreaming up my next adventureโ€”whether that's in a book or across the globe.

    Book Review: Becoming Superman

    by Amber August 1, 2019
    by Amber August 1, 2019

    I tend to stick with fiction, but it’s always refreshing and satisfying when I throw a non-fiction read into the mix. Becoming Superman was right up my alley: reading & superheroes. This book goes beyond the incredible things J. Michael …

    by Amber March 1, 2019
    by Amber March 1, 2019

    I added The Last Romantics to my TBR list as soon as I heard it was similar to Commonwealth, one of my favorite reads from 2017. This book is full of love. The love between friends, family and with ourselves. …

    What to Eat When

    by Amber January 22, 2019
    by Amber January 22, 2019

    What to Eat When isn’t the type of book I usually crave, but I’m glad it landed on my plate โ€” no pun intended. Two doctors approaching food and not only telling us what to eat, but focusing on the …

    Book Review: The Last Thing I Told You

    by Amber July 26, 2018
    by Amber July 26, 2018

    If you’re looking for a well-written dark and twisty thriller, The Last Thing I Told You is a must read. I haven’t read any of Arsenault’s other books, but I have always been a fan of psycho-thrillers. This story revolves …

    by Amber July 2, 2018
    by Amber July 2, 2018

    Caroline is a lovely story for anyone that’s a fan of Little House on the Prairie and Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was surprised (happily) to see this title arrive in my mailbox because I’ve been trying to get out of …

    Review: All The Ever Afters

    by Amber June 6, 2018
    by Amber June 6, 2018

    This one took me a bit to get into because while I was reading the first few chapters, I kept thinking it was Cinderella’s voice. I had to remind myself many times that this isn’t another story about a princess. …
