how Isabella was portrayed. But other than that, the movie is amazing, and I will definitely see it again. 4.5/5 stars. #wutheringheightsmovie #movienight #valentines

I loved "Wuthering Heights." And this is coming from someone who loves the book. Yes, they made several creative changes, but the essence of Cathy and Heathcliffe's selfishness, toxicity, and narcissism is still there; as is the overall theme of the original story. My only complaint is (1/2)

Utah Authors Day is tomorrow! Hope to see you there! #utahauthorsday #localauthors #smallbusinesslove #books #yafantasy

Utah Authors Day is this Saturday, December 6th! I'll be at the Springville Library from Noon-2:00pm. Signed copies of Bondwitch will be available as well as ARC sign-ups for To Sign or Not to Sign! Come see me and over 20 other local authors! #utahauthorsday #localauthor #YAFantasy #romance #magic

I also wonder if because those 2 were so young when they married, she doesn't want to write a spicy romance with teenage characters. But I would be happy with a fade-to-black for those 2. I just want their story. ❤️

I finished reading the Bridgerton prequels, and I'm so sad that Edmund and Violet don't have their own book. I understand the series is actually called The Rokesbys, but 3 of the 4 FMCs are Bridgerton women, Julia Quinn can slip in an Edmund-Violet book and no reader will complain.
