Books are Laura's life. No, seriously—she's not being dramatic (okay, maybe just a little). For the last 20 years, she's worked in the publishing industry as a book designer and marketer, helping authors bring their stories to life. But reading and writing? That's where her heart has always been.

Laura enjoys sharing honest, spoiler-conscious reviews because she knows firsthand how much courage it takes to write a book. She's an equal-opportunity reader with a soft spot for fantasy, romantasy, mysteries, thrillers, and romance, and she listens to audiobooks daily.

She's also an aspiring novelist and hopes that one day her own books will find a home on readers' shelves alongside the stories that inspired her to write.

Faith Still Moves Mountains by Harris Faulkner

I struggled with this review because Of Thrones and Savage Things wasn't a book I disliked. It was more a book I kept waiting to fully connect with... and unfortunately, I never quite got there.

Making Wishes by Richelle E. Goodrich
“Without you there would be no me.
I am everything reflected in your eyes.
I am everything approved by your smile.
I am everything born of your guidance.
I am me only because of you.”
Richelle E. Goodrich

H.P. Landry
“As I stared into those crystalline eyes, I knew I had finally found what I was looking for, but it came with a price. Damien was everything I hated and it wasn't until that moment that I realized how lost I really was.

My soul was drawn to his very aura, but the ache within my heart was the undeniable reminder that it could never be a reality.

My pride and stubbornness had forever wrecked what Damien and I could have had. I was but a galaxy within a black hole, something so majestic and extraordinary, and it was irrevocably lost to me.”
H.P. Landry, Wrecked

Harvey Fierstein
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.”
Harvey Fierstein

Voltaire
“Fools have a habit of believing that everything written by a famous author is admirable. For my part I read only to please myself and like only what suits my taste.”
Voltaire, Candide

Rainer Maria Rilke
“If, when you wake up in the morning, you can think of nothing but writing . . . then you are a writer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke "Letters to a Young Poet."

Mariana Zapata
“I love you so much I spend all day with you, and it still isn’t enough for me,” he kept going.

I stopped breathing.

“I love you so much, if I can’t skate with you, I don’t want to skate with anyone else.”

Holy. Fuck.

“I love you so fucking much, Jasmine, that if I broke my ankle during a program, I would get up and finish it for you, to get you what you’ve always wanted.”

It was love. All I could feel was love.

I was going to cry. I was going to fucking cry. Right. Then.

“You mean so much to me that that’s why whatever happens doesn’t really matter to me. Not like it used to. Not like it ever will again,” he finished, pressing his forehead against mine, his eyes intense and heartbreaking. “You’re not ever going to be anyone else’s partner. Not while I’m alive, Meatball. I will drag your stubborn, beautiful ass kicking and screaming back to me because nobody else will ever be good enough for you.”

I blinked. I blinked so fast I knew I was about two point five seconds away from losing my shit.

And then Ivan ended me. He ended every worry I’d ever had about there being someone after him. He did it right there with the tip of his nose touching my own and his forehead against mine too.

“Because I’m okay with you having ten other people be your favorite. But you’re always going to be my favorite person,” he finished. “Always. No matter what.”
Mariana Zapata, From Lukov with Love
