Audiobook Review: A Married Little Christmas by Abby Jimenez


Author: Abby Jimenez

Narrator: 
Anthony Palmini, Patti Murin, Grayson Owens, Mollie Stark, Christine Lakin, & Zachary Webber
Title: A Married Little Christmas
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Anthology, Short Stories, Novella
Format: Audiobook
Published: October 20, 2026
Where I Got It: Library


Summary: 
Tis the season to fall in love in this three brilliant novellas from #1New York Times bestselling author of The Night We Met. Anna thought only the food would be a disaster at her Christmas dinner--until her high school ex shows up and they quickly have to hatch a fake-dating scheme to save face with their families. For Matty, the idea of sitting in a diner all day dressed as a zombie Santa after losing a bet has zero appeal. But his cute and funny server might just make him change his mind. And finally, will Lauren be able to convince her best friend that getting married after a three-day relationship is absolutely ridiculous? Or will the town called Little Christmas pull her in with its happily-ever-after magic once she meets the best man?


Review:
Awww, I adore this author, so I was excited to see this available at my library. 

This one has three short stories about love and Christmas. 



Sweater Weather - Anna and Jeremy

This was a 2nd chance that didn't piss me off. I felt they had a real conversation to get over the past "wrongs". The reason why they broke up in their youth was not bad. It was just misunderstandings and young, dumb kids being...well....young and dumb. 

I liked Anna and Jeremy. I loved their families. I especially loved Jeremy's spicy granny. Very fun and cute. 

The narrators did great.

5 stars. 


Stealing Christmas - Rhiannon and Matty

This was a weird take on a forced proximity romance, and I liked it. Poor Matty lost a bet and has to sit at the restaurant from open to close in a zombie Santa outfit. Weird. Embarrassing. Check and check. Rhiannon is the poor waitress who has to serve him, and she will be there from open to close. They talk. They laugh. They work together. And they track down her cat from an ex who stole it.

The banter. The chatting. The obvious perfection between these two was lovely. And that last scene before the epilogue was lovely. Awwww. PLUS Matty is Jeremy's brother, and we get to see a cameo of that spicy granny. Weeeee. 

Great narrators again!

5 stars. 




A Married Little Christmas - Lauren and William

Two people who do not believe in love are brought together because their respective BFFs are getting married after only knowing each other for 3 days. They work together to try and convince their friends not to do it. But will the magic of the Christmas town warm the heart of these two?

Awww, I liked Lauren and William a lot. They were grumpy and anti-love people. They both had been burned BAD by their exes, so it makes sense. I loved watching them meet and become allies and then friends and then more. It was so very warm and cheery. Sooooo Hallmark ;) 

Great narrators for this one too!

5 stars. 


Overall

What a fun collection for the holidays. Def 100% recommend. All three were great. I loved all the couples for different reasons. It was done well. 

5 stars.

Book Review: The Grownup by Gillian Flynn



Author: Gillian Flynn
Title: The Grownup
Genre: Short story, Thriller, Horror, Mystery
Format: ebook
Pages: 64
Published: June 17, 2014
Where I got It: Borrowed from library


Summary: 
A canny young woman is struggling to survive by perpetrating various levels of mostly harmless fraud. On a rainy April morning, she is reading auras at Spiritual Palms when Susan Burke walks in. A keen observer of human behavior, our unnamed narrator immediately diagnoses beautiful, rich Susan as an unhappy woman eager to give her lovely life a drama injection. However, when the "psychic" visits the eerie Victorian home that has been the source of Susan’s terror and grief, she realizes she may not have to pretend to believe in ghosts anymore. Miles, Susan’s teenage stepson, doesn’t help matters with his disturbing manner and grisly imagination.



Review:
I've read a book or two by this author, so why not? I ran out of time for October, but November counts. 

We follow the story of a young woman who is just trying to survive. She is good at reading people, so she has been able to do decent. She is hired by Susan, whose home has been her source of terror and grief. 

This was a weird story for sure. Dark and just plain weird. BUUUUT I did enjoy the journey. 

The ending? That was.....something. I still can't decide if I like it or not. Mmmmm. Might do a re-read one day. 

But yes, this was a nice sprinkle for the spooky season. Weird and dark. 

4 stars.

Movie Review: Obsession (2025)


Title:
Obsession
Length: 1h 49min
Released: 2025
Genre: Horror, Thriller
Rating: R
Where I Got It: Peacock



SUMMARY:
After breaking the mysterious "One Wish Willow" to win his crush's heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.





REVIEW:
Dang it. I wanted this to post on Halloween. Grrrrrr.

I haven't been watching a lot of movies lately. I've been reading a lot tho. BUUUUT I did watch this. 

Here we have a group of coworkers/friends. Bear has been in love with Nikki for...a while. He just can't get himself to tell her. Out of fun and slight desperation, he makes a wish for her to be obsessed with him. Weellllll it comes true, but not really what he had in mind. There is a sinister price to be paid. 

This movie....wow. Soooooo messed up but soooooooo good. I couldn't look away. 

It is def a movie that will stay with me for a long time. Wow. Just....wow. 

If I were doing a one word summary/reaction this year, "wow" would be what I would use for this movie. 

Not for the faint of heart. 

Honestly, that ending was great. Fitting and scary. Lovely. 

There is one scene that haunts me still. *shudders*

4 stars from me.

Audiobook Review: Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper


Author: Lana Harper

Narrator: Jeremy Carlisle Parker
Title: Payback's a Witch
Series: The Witches of Thistle Grove #1
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Fantasy, LGBT
Format: Audiobook
Published: October 5, 2021
Where I Got It: Library


Summary: 
Emmy Harlow is a witch but not a very powerful one—in part because she hasn't been home to the magical town of Thistle Grove in years. Her self-imposed exile has a lot to do with a complicated family history and a desire to forge her own way in the world, and only the very tiniest bit to do with Gareth Blackmoore, heir to the most powerful magical family in town and casual breaker of hearts and destroyer of dreams.

But when a spellcasting tournament that her family serves as arbiters for approaches, it turns out the pull of tradition (or the truly impressive parental guilt trip that comes with it) is strong enough to bring Emmy back. She's determined to do her familial duty; spend some quality time with her best friend, Linden Thorn; and get back to her real life in Chicago.

On her first night home, Emmy runs into Talia Avramov—an all-around badass adept in the darker magical arts—who is fresh off a bad breakup . . . with Gareth Blackmoore. Talia had let herself be charmed, only to discover that Gareth was also seeing Linden—unbeknownst to either of them. And now she and Linden want revenge. Only one question stands: Is Emmy in?

But most concerning of all: Why can't she stop thinking about the terrifyingly competent, devastatingly gorgeous, wickedly charming Talia Avramov?


Review:
Thanks to Libby (my library app), I found this little gem. I was digging and looking for a paranormal romance with an LGBTQ+ couple. I felt like it would be a good way to end the spooky season! Witches and love...oh my. 

Here we follow Emmy, who is back home in Thistle Grove. She has been gone for a long time, but with reason. She wants to forge her own life and leave behind the town she grew up in. However, she has to come back for the spellcasting tournament that her family serves as arbiters for. Through tradition and rules....it is her turn to take the lead. She plans to do her duty and spend time with her family and friends. Nothing more. Her life in Chicago is waiting for her. However, on her first night back, she runs into Talia. It comes out that they all have had their hearts broken by Gareth. What is the best way to get revenge? Work together so his family doesn't win the Thistle Grove tournament. 

This was a pure delight. I loved this whole Tucker Must Die meets magic was so fun.

I loved the town. How fun! 

The tournament was a lovely touch. 

I liked Emmy, but I didn't fully understand her not wanting to come back to town, especially because their magic pretty much disappears if they don't stay in town. Sure, I get going away for college and away from the asshole who broke her heart....but it felt....overdramatic to punish the whole town, her family, and her best friend. I feel like Emmy was kinda cruel for this. Don't get me wrong. I did like Emmy, but her decisions had rubbed me the wrong way.

Talia was very sweet in a dark way. Emmy and her balanced each other well. 

Spoiler, not spoiler, there is a fight between the two of them, and they make up. I felt like....it needed more time for them to talk it out. There were a LOT of hurtful things said. 

But I loved the ending. It was lovely. I love this town, and this couple was cute. I might check out book 2 if it is at the library. 

In the end, I'll give this 3 stars.

Book Review: One Last Job by Anise Starre


Author: Anise Starre
Title: One Last Job
Series: Flights and Feelings
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Format: Ebook
Pages: 382
Published: July 7, 2023
Where I got It: Kindle Unlimited


Summary: 
Working late never felt so good.

When Amber Wyatt gets the opportunity to project manage a lucrative contract with The August Room, an exclusive and glamorous private members’ club, she can’t wait to get started. That is until she meets handsome managing director. Finn Hawthorne seemingly has no respect for her work, continuously undermines her and, worst of all, has the uncanny ability to charm everyone else he meets.

But launching The August Room is Finn's baby and he needs it to go well. With whispers of nepotism he needs to prove himself. Which explains why he can’t stand Amber. Not only is she charging him a small fortune, she keeps dismissing his ideas and, worst of all, she’s drop-dead gorgeous and seemingly immune to his charms.

Forced to work together to meet the tight launch day deadline, sparks begin to fly, and the fine line between business and pleasure starts to blur.

What was supposed to be a career-defining project leaves them both wanting more, but will they take it, or will this one last job destroy everything they've built?


Review:
Randomly stumbled upon this one while looking for something else and this seemed fabulous. 

Here we have Finn and Amber. They are forced to work together to meet a tight launch date. When together...it seems they are too different, but they will soon learn they are perfect for each other. 

I'm going to do a divide and conquer review again. My poor brain hurts today. 

The Good
- Loved these two! Finn and Amber were great. Loved their banter
- I liked how this naturally happened. Yes, they were forced together but it took time and it felt right. 
- This is part of a series, but it didn't feel like it. It felt like a nice standalone. Sure, there might've been cameos, but I didn't notice
- The ending was lovely and was perfect. 

The Bad and the Ugly
- I don't really have any issues. ;)

Conclusion
Great read. I would def read more by this author and maybe more in this series. 5 stars from me.

Book Review: When the Dead Speak by Clay Wise


Author: Clay Wise
Title: When the Dead Speak
Genre: Mystery, Horror
Format: Ebook
Pages: 302
Published: August 9, 2025
Where I got It: Kindle Unlimited


Summary: 
When Ally Hawkins sees her late husband’s ghost, she’s drawn into a deadly conspiracy behind his death. Hunted by dangerous enemies both living and dead, she must uncover the truth before she becomes the next target.


Review:
While looking for scary books for October, I found this one, and it was freeeee then. Love a freebie. 

Here we follow Ally and her crew. When Ally sees her late husband's ghost, she is drawn into a deadly conspiracy behind his death. They are hunted by the living and dead as she uncovers the truth to help her husband's ghost find peace. 

Whelp. I guess this is technically part of a series even though it wasn't made clear on Goodreads. I realized this after I felt like I was missing something. I read a few reviews and WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Yeah. I mean - it did find as a standalone, but there were moments that I felt like a new person at the party. 

I was entertained by this and was curious about what was going to happen. I wasn't sure what was going to happen next and how they were going to find the truth. Lots of bad people covering stuff up, for sure. 

I feel for Ally...I wouldn't want that power, especially seeing a dead loved one. EEEE.

But yes, I enjoyed this, but I did feel like I was missing some stuff. It did well enough as a standalone, but I think going back and reading previous stories might have helped me like this a touch more. 

I'm going to stamp this with a 3.

Audiobook Review: A Very Good Bad Idea by Emma Chase


Author: Emma Chase

Narrator: Sean Masters & Brooke Bloomingdale
Title: A Very Good Bad Idea
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Rom Com
Format: Audiobook
Published: October 13, 2026
Where I Got It: My shelf (Audible)


Summary: 
No loopholes. No backing out. No leaving for four months.

Damon Burke is intense, handsome and vengefully calculating—he's also certain he'll outlast his competitor.

Jade Buchanan is brilliant, ruthless, and absolutely not losing to him.

But the house seems to have a mind of its own. With faulty wiring, a leaking roof, drafty windows and the occasional wild-life infestation, it just might be trying to kill them. And the more Damon and Jade try to oust each other from the property, the more it brings them together.

Sparks fly, tempers clash—but eventually, all their walls come crumbling down.

It's a bad idea to get too close to your enemy. To care about them, need them, want them more than you've ever wanted anything.

But when rivalry becomes something more than they ever expected, Damon and Jade discover love can be a very good bad idea.


Review:
This randomly popped up as a recommendation while I was looking for something to turn on for one part of my road trip. SOOOoooOOoooo why not?

Man, I should've written this right away. EEEE.

Okay...Jade and Damon are enemies. They both want this house for their companies. The previous owner couldn't decide who should get it, so they made a clause in the will.....both need to stay in the house for 4 months. No phones and people bring food and other essentials every couple of weeks. They are alone with their thoughts and...each other. First to leave wins. 

I'll divide and conquer this review:

The Good
- I thought this was funny. I know some people didn't like the pranks, but I thought they were funny until they went to far. 
- The banter was great. 
- The smexy parts were lovely
- The ending was lovely. 
- I loved the side characters. They were adorable
- The narration was great! Both did well. 

The Bad and the Ugly
- I hated our two mains. They were assholes. Sure, it made for entertainment, but they need therapyyyyyyyyyy bad. 
- This felt unrealistic at times. Like...sure people are bad...but how is Jade's Dad NOT in prison?
- Jade forgave Damon for what he said about her mom WAY too quickly. 

Conclusion
This was a mixed bag for me. Loved some parts, hated some. And these two are hard to like. They are rough. Sure, they get better and the rough edges are smoothed down, but I would never want to meet these people in real life. 

I'll give this 3 stars.

Book Review: The Seduction of the Crimson Rose by Lauren Willig


Author: 
Lauren Willig
Title: The Seduction of the Crimson Rose
Series: Pink Carnation #4
Genre: Historical Romance, Contemporary Romance, Mystery, Chick Lit
Format: Paperback
Pages: 385
Published: January 6, 2008
Where I Got It: My shelf (Audible)


Summary: 
A continuation of the series that began with The Masque of the Black Tulip and The Deception of the Emerald Ring finds Mary accepting a secret assignment from spy Lord Vaughn to infiltrate the Black Tulip's operation in order to prevent an invasion of England




Review:
I started this and then stopped for a while. September was a wild month. Buuuuuut this was set to the side and not forgotten. I love this series, and I wanted to keep going. I finally picked back up to finish. 

Here we are with Eloise continuing her research on the Pink Carnation and other fellow spies. This time we will step back and see Mary's and Lord Vaughn's story. Mary accepts a secret assignment to infiltrate the Black Tulip's operation to prevent plans for an invasion of England. 

Mary is a rough character to like, but she is one you can't stop being curious about. There is a lot more deep down. Same with Lord Vaughn. The two are a match made in snarky Heaven.

It was nice going back to this! It's been so long. I had forgotten sooo many things.

Eloise is adorable. I remember being not her biggest fan in my very first read-through of this series, but I've grown to adore her. 

Such a fun series. This isn't my favorite mainly because Mary is rough to like, but it's still an enjoyable read. Love the world. Love the characters. I can't wait to start the next one soon-ish.  

I'll give this a 4.

Audiobook Review: A Taste of Magic by Tricia O'Malley


Author: Tricia O'Malley

Narrator: 
Siobhan Waring & John Hartley
Title: A Taste of Magic
Series: The Scottish Charms #2
Genre: Fantasy, Paranormal Romance
Format: Audiobook
Published: August 25, 2026
Where I Got It: My shelf (Audible)


Summary: 
She’s hexed. He’s her ex. And if they can’t bake in harmony, Briarhaven’s big cooking competition might just go up in smoke.

Lyra MacGregor’s magic is as unpredictable as her love life—especially when her spellwork starts misfiring during the filming of Briarhaven’s favorite reality TV Bewitching Bake-Off. Even worse? She’s paired with Rabbie Campbell, her high school sweetheart turned heartbreak.

He’s never baked a thing in his life. She turns spoons into hedgehogs when he’s nearby. But with the cameras rolling, the curse deepening, and old sparks reigniting, they’ll have to cook up more than just a winning cake to survive. Because in Briarhaven, baking is spellwork, and love is the trickiest recipe of all.


Review:
I finished book 1, and I had to get my hands on book 2. I'm loving this town and this family. Plus...I had to know what the heck is up with Rabbie and Lyra. What happened between them the last time they were in town?

Lyra and her family have been back in town for about a year now. It is her turn to finally get her powers and lift her part of the curse. However, things are interrupted when a Baking Show picks Briarhaven to host the Christmas special. This is the chance Lyra has been dreaming about! She finally got a job at the bakery, but maybe this competition will help blast her Baking show to new heights. However, she is having issues with her magic, and now she's being partnered with her ex....

I really loved this one. I loved watching them go from enemies to baking partners to friends to being in love. It felt real. They finally are forced to TALK and hear each other out. *chef kiss*

Lyra is adorable. 

Rabbie is cranky and cute. 

Gimme all the hedgehogs. 

I just wanted to eat all the yummy desserts mentioned. 

This is a second chance, and I get scared of them, but the reason why they broke up was an easy fix once they matured, especially when they realized it was all a misunderstanding. 

The ending was lovely. 

The narrators were perfect. 

I loved this. So much fun. I want book 3!!!!

5 stars.

Audiobook Review: Love's a Witch by Tricia O'Malley


Author: 
Tricia O'Malley
Narrator: Imogen Church & 
John Hartley
Title: Love's a Witch
Series: The Scottish Charms #1
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Fantasy, Romantasy
Format: Audiobook
Published: August 26, 2025
Where I Got It: My shelf (Audible)


Summary: 
She’s hexed. He’s vexed. And for Scotland’s most magical small-town, their feud might just spell disaster.

Sloane MacGregor swore she’d never return to Briarhaven, but with her twenty-fifth birthday looming—the day witches come into their magic—her grandmother summons her and her sisters back for one tiny task: break the centuries-old curse haunting their bloodline.

Knox Douglas, Briarhaven’s grumpy mayor, has worked tirelessly to make his town a haven for magical folk. The last thing he needs is a cursed MacGregor wreaking havoc. It doesn’t matter he once crushed on her. For the sake of Briarhaven, Sloane has to go.

But magic has other plans—and in Briarhaven, love really is a witch.


Review:
I've enjoyed past books by the author and this randomly appeared so why not!! Scotland...magic....oh my. 

Here we follow Sloane and Knox. Sloane is from the family MacGregor and they have been cursed for centuries. They can't stay in a town for too long before disaster strikes and bad things happen. Sloane is about to turn 25 and finally step into her magic and her grandmother had a vision that her and her sisters will be the ones to finally break this curse. She is back in Briarhaven and it's been years and now Knox is the mayor. He has worked tirelessly to take this tiny town and make something of it. It's a haven for magical folk and a "tourist" spot. The last thing he needs is any of the MacGregors coming back. They have to go. 

I'm tired and feeling worn. I'll divide and conquer this review: 

The Good
- Loved this whole concept. It was really fresh and cool. I feel bad for the family, but the curse is interesting!
- I loved all the little magical creatures. Too cute! I want to see more!
- Loooooved the town. 
- I loved Knox and Sloane together even though they are both so, so, so stubborn
- MORE PLEASE

The Bad and the Ugly
- Nothing really. If I'm hard pressed to say anything...I would've liked to see more "dates" between Sloane and Knox. I would've loved to see them talk more and see the chemistry. 

Conclusion
Soooo enjoyable. Loved it. I already have book 2 in my library ;)

4 stars.

Audiobook Review: An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed by Helene Tursten


Author: 
Helene Tursten
Narrator: Ann Richardson
Title: An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed
Series: Ã„ldre dam #2
Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Short Story, Fiction, Comedy
Pages: Audiobook
Published: October 8, 2020
Where I Got It: Borrowed from library



Summary: 
Eighty-eight-year-old Maud is never looking for trouble, but it always seems to find her. First, a woman in her building met an untimely end: tragic. Then, just recently, a dead body mysteriously appeared in her very own apartment, prompting an investigation by the local Gothenburg authorities. Such a strange coincidence. When it seems suspicion has fallen on her, little old lady that she is, Maud decides to skip town and splurges on a trip to South Africa for herself.

In these six interlocking stories, memories of unfortunate incidents from Maud’s past keep bubbling to the surface, each triggered by something in the present: an image, a word, even a taste. When she lands in Johannesburg at last, eager to move on from the bloody ordeal last summer, she finds certain problems seem to be following her. Luckily, Maud is no stranger to taking matters into her own hands . . . even if it means she has to get a little blood on them in the process.

Don’t let her age fool you. Maud may be nearly ninety, but this elderly lady still has a few tricks before she’s ready to call it quits.


Review:
We are back baaaabyyyyy! Book 2!

We start where we left off. Maud is old but she doesn't let that stop her from what she wants even if that means blood will be on her hands. We get to see some flashbacks as she goes along her trip.

Maud....we love you even though you are technically a serial killer. She doesn't kill for the thrill of it...sometimes people get in her way, and she isn't about that life. 

I loved watching her on her trip to South Africa. I was curious who in her tour group would fuck up and who she'd have to take out. You know one of them will piss her off....it was only a matter of when and who. Color me surprised by who the victim would be. 

Awww, the ending was good. I want more though!!! Sadly this is it. 

This was a fun listen. I loved the narrator. She did a great job. 

But yes, a quick listen, BUT so dang good. You gotta read these. I loved that we got some good flashbacks. Dark, but good.

5 stars from me.

Book Review: The Goal by Elle Kennedy


Author: Elle Kennedy
Title: The Goal
Series: Off Campus #4
Genre: Sports Romance, Contemporary Romance, New Adult
Format: Ebook
Pages: 350
Published: September 26, 2016
Where I got It: Borrowed from library


Summary: 
She’s good at achieving her goals…

College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn’t include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she’s willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.

But the game just got a whole lot more complicated

Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he’s fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina’s heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he’ll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.



Review:
I was a little hesitant about this one due to not being a fan of Sabrina. Tucker is a nice boy, and Sabrina has been super cold in the past. MAINLY against Dean, and I get her reasons, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut yeah. 

Tucker and Sabrina have a one night stand, and now....oopsies....a baby is now on the way. This isn't on their list of goals at all. Both are graduating and have life goals that do not include each other or a baby. However, they can't get each other out of their minds. They decide to take the risk and change their plans just a smidge. Sabrina will still be going to Law school, but she will allow Tucker to stay and help...a bit. Tucker won't be going back to Texas. He'll stay and start his business there instead. Will Tucker be able to convince Sabrina to let down her walls and allow them to be a complete family?

Oh, sweet, sweet Tucker. I wanted to shake Sabrina! LET HIM LOVE YOUUUUU! YOU LOVE HIM TOO!!! GAH! 

Yes, yes, I get that she has LOTS of issues, so trusting a man with her heart is the last thing on her list. But damn, girl. I wanted to scream!!!!!! Tucker is an angel and so patient. But I did love her will and persistence. She is so smart and so driven. I loved that for her. She will be an amazing lawyer. 

I enjoyed watching them figure it out and go from lust to love to having a family (spoiler, not spoiler...it is a romance after all). But damn...Sabrina....that house you are living in is NOT a good situation for you or the baby. :/

Don't get me wrong, I ended up loving Sabrina by the end. I loved the scene between her and Dean at the end. They'll never be besties, but they finally understood each other. See how talking it out can help? 

I'm sad to be done with this part of the series. Yes, yes, there is 'The Legacy' left to read and the spin-offs. However, the core four are done, and I still don't have season 2 of the show released yet! I guess I'll have to keep reading the others ;) hehe. 

But yes, this was a great series. I can see myself reading these four for sure. 

I'll give this 4 stars even though Sabrina drove me to insanity.
