Welcome!

WELCOME to the Small Book Blog! I am a voracious reader. I love losing myself in books and cannot wait to read myself into my next adventure. It is because of this love for books that I created this blog. I want to share my passion of books with you! I hope you enjoy my recommendations and reviews. My goal is that they will lead you to a new book, series or author, that you can fall in love with and recommend to others as well.

Ilona Andrew's Hidden Legacy Series and More...


Hello dear readers!
Image result for christmas stocking clipart transparent backgroundRelated imageWhat a year it has been! I am so proud to share I am getting time to read back little by little. It makes my heart happy. Hopefully that will lead to more time on my blog sharing with you. I am excited to share that I am currently devouring a “new to me author” and in the last month have read the first two and am currently halfway through the last available book in one of her many series! The author is Ilona Andrews and it is her Hidden Legacy series starring Mad Rogan and Nevada Baylor.  I am absolutely hooked on the characters, the action, the sexual tension, the various relationships and magical world created in our everyday mundane universe. I will definitely be checking out her other series after reading a few Christmas theme books. Thank you Jill Shalvis for your Heartbreaker Bay series I have on my “To Read” shelf! It has multiple books that have a Christmas season theme and I have been putting them off until December to read.


If I don’t make it back before the New Year I wish you all a happy, sparkling, and Merry Christmas season. I’ll make sure to add a note to Santa, when my kids send out their letters to him, we would all love at least one new read in our stockings this year.

Happy 2018 & Happy Reading!

I hope you fall in love with at least one book this new year!
Happy New Year My Dear Readers! 

With the new year comes organizing, cleaning, detoxing, resolutions and positivity… or sometimes sarcastic humor about all of the aforementioned. I saw a quote and loved how fitting it is: “New Year’s Resolutions: 1) Read? 2) Read. 3)Read!” That’s how I feel about most of my resolutions and goals. It’s the thought process behind getting off the couch to work out or getting snuggled into the couch to read and tell myself to not look around at the chores I could be doing.

Goodreads has an awesome Reading Challenge feature you can set up for your reading goals! Every year, since 2011, I have set a goal for how many books I plan to read for the year. Some years have been amazingly successful and others… not so much. At least I was being optimistic. LOL! This year I decided to keep the bar a little on the lower side- 25 books in the next year. I know with my two little ones it is hard to get my dedicated 10-15 minutes every day of reading in but we will see what the year brings!

What are some of your reading goals? Trying new authors or genres? Picking up a series or outlandishly large tome of a novel you know you might love but haven’t tried reading yet because how daunting it is? For me that series is Game of Thrones. I wonder if I will try it this year or put it off some more?


Happy 2018 and I wish you an adventurous year in reading and hope you fall in love with at least one amazing book!
