I started this after my friend almost forced me to start it and boy am I happy I did! 
The tention, the characters and the world are beautiful and I need more and fast. 
I’d definitely recommend this, the only reason I won’t give it 5 stars is because the descriptions were a bit repetitive at times

Murder at the bookstore is the first book of the bookstore mystery series. It follows Jen as she just published her first novel and it was an instant succes. Jen was a writing block when her fruend is murdered. Jen solves the murder and recovers her writing block. 

This was the perfect book for getting me out of my reading slumb. It’s the perfect autumn read aswell. I didn’t really connect with any character and the author missed a great upperunity to play around with grief, the main character almost seems like she doesn’t even care that her friend has been murdered. She makes stupid choices while she doesn’t have to. I did enjoy it and that’s why I’ll give it 3 stars. If you liked a good girls guide to murder, you’ll like this book aswell.

I honestly expected to like this book at all, but I was pleasantly surprised. 
The door had a backstory which I liked and the story besides the spicy times was interesting. 
I liked that Tana had a personality than just liking spicy time. 
I´m giving this a 4 star because I would recommend this to people if I knew they´d enjoy it.
Thanks Danika. lol

The second volume of my happy marriage follows Miyo as she attempts to make a present for her fiance. As she and her maid Yuki go out to buy the supplies for the gift they encounter Miyo younger half sister, she’s cruel to Miyo and sends her into a depressive episode. Kiyoka is worried about her and invides Hana to help her get back on her feet. Miyo is finally able to tell Kiyoka the trough about herself.

I really enjoyed this manga volume, I read it in one sitting which is crazy to me. I thought it was really sweet how Miyo grows more confident around Kiyoka. the growth in their relationship is really sweet to watch aswell. the cliffhanger is eating me up and can’t wait to read the 3rd volume. Five out of five stars.

The pumpkin spice cafe is the first book of the dream harbor series. It follows Jeanie as she wants to escape her old city life and live a calm life as the new cafe owner, which she inherited from her aunt. She quickly meets the cute farmer who delivers her cute little pumpkins one day. They quickly fall in love but they’re hesitant l, will they ever confess their love?

I did really enjoy this book, it’s the perfect book to start autumn with. But, there isn’t really anything happening in most of the book. both MC’s suffer from a serious case of no communication and it’s really frustrating at times. this is also a insta-love story, I don’t really mind if it’s done well. The book spans out over a month which is quite short. like I said, I did really enjoy this book so it’s got 4 stars on GoodReads and 3,5 on StoryGraph

Cursed crowns is the second book of the twin crowns series. It’s co. Written by Cathrine Doyle and Kathrine Webber. Cursed crowns takes almost directly place after the first book. Wren goes to Gevra to retrieve her grandmother while Rose is left behind to deal with the uprising against the witches. Will they succeed in what they needed to do?  

I didn’t care about most of the book. Rose was left behind while Wren just ran off into unknown danger while knowing about what Rose had to face alone. Wren makes stupid rash decisions and seems toforget that she’s a queen and has resources to her disposal. In the last 100 pages or so of the book I really enjoyed and made this 2 into 3 star book. I really liked Wren’s new love interest aswell 😏
