**Book Review** : The Wall of Winnipeg and Me

-

I had never read anything by Mariana Zapata before reading this, but now I'm eager to read her other work. Lately I've been in a sports romance genre kick and found this in a list of "sports romance" books to read on Goodreads and decided to check it out and I'm happy to announce I wasn't disappointed! :) 

Vanessa Mazur has worked for pro football player, Aiden Graves for 2 years, and more often than not he drives her nuts. She's his assistant/cook but has bigger dreams than catering to someone else's needs, so she decided to quit and follow her dreams. 

Aiden finds himself lost without Vanessa and shows up at her door 2 weeks after she quits. While Vanessa is shock to see her ex-boss at her doorstep she's even more surprise after she learns why he's turned up, he needs her help with something with high stakes for her. Vanessa is torn between helping out someone she took care of for 2 years and doing the 'right thing'.

This is a slow burn romance, but it worth the wait to see the normally quiet and terse Aiden come out of his shell. Zapata does an amazing job letting the relationship between Aiden and Vanessa unfold naturally, I loved watching them go from friends to confidants. 

 There were plenty of times throughout the story where I couldn't help but smile like a goof and adored both Vanessa and Aiden. I can't wait to look into more books by Zapata and fall in love with the rest of her works.

3 of My Favorite Books

Reading has been on of my favorite past times, even as a little girl there was something about reading a really good book that just did something for me. Now I that I'm older I'd say it helps fulfill the part of me that yearns to travel the world. It takes me away from my reality and transports me into a whole other world where I feel what the characters feel and get to go on a new adventure with every book that I read. So when I was thinking about what I should post next I thought what would be better than giving you all a list of some of my favorite books. It's going to be hard to narrow down but hopefully I've done a good job at picking the best of the best from my reading list and pass them on to you.  So here are my top 10 favorite books... (as of now lol) 1. Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice is considered a classic for a reason. I never had to read this for school, it wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I sat down and...

Travel Bucket List

If I could spend the rest of my life traveling around the world I would do it. My dream for as long as I can remember has always been to see as much of the world as possible during my lifetime. As a child I always loved Summer because it meant going on a family vacation and getting to see a new place. Even now I often feel like a child when I'm getting ready for my next vacation, no matter where I'm going there's always a child like excitement bubbling up inside of me. Since this is such a big dream of mine I decided to put together this travel bucket list and hopefully I'll be able to check off all the places little by little. So, here goes nothing... 1. England  I'm not really sure where my love of all things British stems from, but England is definitely at the top of my bucket list of places to go.  Kent Peak District Derbyshire Wilshire London Brighton Bath Stratford-upon-Avon  These are just a few of the places in Eng...
