Never had anyone to talk to about your latest read when you close the book? After the Last Page is a show for the reader that loves to discuss what they've read. Each week, Jackie reads a book of varying genres and discusses the book at length for listeners that might be reading along. With a brutally honest review and an in-depth analysis for each read on her TBR list, Jackie will walk you through what books are worth the hype and which ones aren't.
We're Back!! What I've Been Reading, Book Slumps, and Reading Wrap-Ups
After my unforeseen hiatus from technology (due to my favorite laptop going ka-put), I have so many books to share. I've read 54 books already this year, and with nearly three more months left to this year, I still have some big goals to reach.
So, let's talk about talk the books I've read lately and what I would recommend (and those I wouldn't, too).

SUPRISE EPISODE! The Bodyguard by Katherine Center--Book Review
In Katherine Center’s new release, The Bodyguard, Hannah Brooks meets Jack Stapleton, a household name actor who’s just moved into town. Hannah might look like a kindergarten teacher, but she’s far from it—she’s actually a Executive Protection Agent, aka bodyguard and Jack is her newest client.
After her mom dies, her boyfriend/co-worker breaks up with her, and her best friend is found sleeping with said boyfriend/co-worker, Hannah is ready to jet off to literally anywhere else. When her boss gives her a new job protecting an A-list celebrity from a middle-aged corgi-breeding stalker in their hometown, she isn’t exactly thrilled–but, it’s just a few weeks and then she can jump onto the next plane to escape…right?
Except, when Hannah meets Jack, she’s pleasantly surprised. He’s nothing like she expected and his only goal isn’t movies, but to stick around while his sick mom gets better. Hannah’s job is to protect the family (and Jack), but Jack doesn’t want to worry his mom, so they come up with a plan—Hannah will secretly be his bodyguard while pretending to be his girlfriend.
The Bodyguard is an adorably romantic, laugh-out-loud funny comedy with perfect summer vibes.

Moonlight and The Pearler's Daughter by Lizzie Pook--Book Review
Eliza Brightwell's family is from London, but when word on the street is that Australia is the place to be, the entire family moves in the hopes of making a fortune from the pearl trade. Taking place in the Industrial Era, Moonlight and The Pearler's Daughter follows Eliza as she steps foot in a new place--a place that just might make or break her family.
As the story progresses, we're taken 10 years forward, when Eliza goes to meet her father's pearling boat at the dock. Except, as the crew starts to disembark, it becomes clear that her father isn't on the boat and no one knows what happened to him. Determined to find her father, with nothing more than an inkling that he's still alive, Eliza sets sail on a new adventure. With the help of her friend Min, and her new male friend, Axel, Eliza searches for the truth of what really happened to her father.
Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter is a story of adventure, romance, corruption, and secrets.
