Welcome to my blog. I hope you’ll enjoy visiting my little slice of internet heaven. Previously Tomes and Tequila, I’m now Candid Christine.
All in books
My slightly unconventional review of Forget You Know Me by Jessica Strawser, which I VERY much enjoyed. I’m advocating for picking up a book you know nothing about every once in a while, it might surprise you!
Unfortunately, the structure of The Girls at 17 Swann Street by Yara Zgheib took me out of the story enough that I couldn’t connect emotionally…read more.
An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen is a slow burn thriller that kept me flipping pages far past my bedtime…
Make Something Good Today is the fabulous new book by Erin and Ben Napier of the HGTV show HomeTown…
My review of the unique and twisty thriller The Impossible Girl by Lydia Kang!
Three book recommendations all centering around your spirit. One about meditation, one bible study, and one prayer challenge.
My review of the unflinchingly honest memoir Unwifeable by Mandy Stadtmiller, which I received from Booksparks. Once I picked this bad boy up, I could not put it down…
My full review of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s latest book Daisy Jones and the Six, which I received from the lovely Booksparks as part of their #booksharks program!! Damn, I loved this one is good…
My review of the unflinching and yet hopeful memoir Unbroken by Madeleine Black.
My review of the must read prequel to Dracula…Dracul by Dacre Stoker and J.D. Barker! If you like creepy, this is the book for you.
I’m so excited to review Linda Smolkin’s newest book The Secret We Lost, having previously read and reviewed her book Among the Branded…and even having her join us for a book club on my Facebook Group! I’m a fan, and consider her to be a friend…so I couldn’t wait to crack open this one.
Is Rachel Hollis my new guru?? I take a look at her book Girl, Wash Your Face, along with her Internet presence, and let you know my thoughts on this woman who is showing up EVERYWHERE right now.
