2026 ARC Reviews: Thirty, Flirty, and Forever Alone, The Odds of You, and Enchanting the Fae Queen
These three books are really so different, but I’m very delighted to be bringing you reviews for them during the month of their release. Not always a thing I manage. (In fact, it’s often NOT something I manage.) Anyway, I received an e-ARC of Thirty, Flirty, and Forever Alone by Christine Riccio, The Odds of

February TBR + New Releases
I’m going to have a lot of time for audiobooks this month so I imagine my re-read of Guild Hunters is going to see some pretty impressive progress being made, but I do also have other books I’m trying to read. So we’ll see how this goes. In other news, February! I’m hoping to make

Favorite Books I Read in 2025
Normally I break my favorites list into multiple things and perhaps I should do that, but instead, I’m cheating slightly and giving you my top “ten” books and then some honorable mentions. Incredibly unusually, most of my favorites are not romance novels because for some reason I had an absolutely incredible reading year for nonfiction,

Tier Ranking the 2025 Releases I Read from Sept-Dec
We’re nearly there, wrapping up my full reading year, but I have a few more posts I feel like have to be done before we can officially move on. I read 38 2025 releases in the last four months of the year, which is quite a few, though less than in the second third if

Quarter Four Favorites

December Wrap Up
December was definitely a month that happened. I loved spending time with my family and friends during the holiday season, but I’ve also really enjoyed spending yesterday and today by myself alone in my apartment to recharge. But rather than reading me talking about how much I value my alone time, let’s switch our focus

Most Anticipated Book Releases of 2026
This post is certainly heavily weighted toward the beginning of the year, but that’s just how things work with publishing, I feel like. Anyway, I’m quite excited to talk about these 12 books and throw in a couple of books that I’m hoping come out at some point. So let’s hop to it, shall we?

January TBR + New Releases
It feels super weird to be typing a January TBR, but we are more than halfway through December so why not go ahead and post this? I have somehow acquired entirely too many advanced copies of January releases, but I’m determined to do a better job reading my ARCs in 2026 than I did in

November Wrap Up + December TBR
I’m combining November’s Wrap Up and the December TBR because there aren’t that many new releases in December. Hopefully. I haven’t exactly plotted this out already. But either way, I’m behind so combining these two posts seems like a very logical choice. November was… a month. I put up my Christmas tree in early November

Witchy Romance ARC Reviews: Wooing the Witch Queen, A Simple Twist of Fate, and Season of the Witch
Y’all, these three witchy romances caught me off guard by how much I loved them, most especially Wooing the Witch Queen. You see, I started Wooing the Witch Queen and I was not there for that beginning at all. Then I started it again on audiobook and the mood of the book swept me away
