I haven't read a Christmas romance before, so when I got the email for this free ebook, I figured fuck it. But no. no no no no. Trigger warning and spoilers ahead....
Everything You Want Me to Be – Mindy Mejia
I'll start out by saying it was a good book. It kept my interest, it had the smutty factor down, and there was some good old fashioned murder. I liked how it the story was told by different perspectives across different time frames. Now, get ready for the spoilers. There is infertility and there is pregnancy. Let's get down to the nitty gritty...
Hex – Thomas Olde Heuvelt
Man, I suck with keeping up with this blog. Anyway, I read this around Halloween. It's a great Halloween book, actually! There were some abstract references...
See What I Have Done – Sarah Schmidt

The Girls – Emma Cline

The Beekeeper’s Ball – Susan Wiggs
This book was definitely a rom com movie, complete with a "hot guy takes pretty girl to fancy boutique and watches as she tries on gorgeous dresses and then buys her pretty things and doesn't fuss at all" scene. Strap in for the spoilers, kids, cuz there's only one way to tell you about all the pregnancy related triggers. TW: loss, abuse, pregnancies, adoptions, rape, the whole nine yards.
Life After Life – Kate Atkinson
I forgot to post right after I read this, so it's been a while and I'm not sure how much I remember. Oh, wait, it's coming back to me... ok, TW, get ready...
I Am the Messenger – Markus Zusak
My fist time reading something from Markus Zusak, and I really enjoyed his writing style. I definitely recommend the book! However,....
If I stay – Gayle Forman
Good, quick read. Full disclosure: (TW)...
The Fifth Letter – Nicola Moriarty
I didn't read this one, but it's got an infertility plot line. Spoilers and a quote from a friend who still rated this 3/5 stars...
