    May Wrap Up & June TBR

    May was an interesting month that started off with me seeing Taylor Swift in Nashville and was capped off with a weekend at home where I unexpectedly got to see another of my best friends. It’s always a good month when I get to see two out of the three of them, given that all…

    Midnights + Romance Recs, Part One

    I know I’m so incredibly late on this and I’d make an excuse, but tbh, I don’t have one. These posts are a lot of work because I am the Queen of Over Thinking everything and really want the books I choose to be perfect for the song lyrics. I finally told myself to stop…

    Celebrating Queer Love: Stars Collide, Girls Like Girls, and The Problem with Perfect

    I am so grateful to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read these three books. Stars Collide by Rachel Lacey was such a perfect book to listen to on my drive back from Nashville after seeing Taylor Swift live for the first time in entirely too long. (Okay, since Reputation but that’s been AGES.)…

    Historical Romance ARC Reviews: A Wicked Game, To Swoon and To Spar, and Verity & the Forbidden Suitor

    Historical romance and I have an up and down relationship at the best of times, but this was a pretty successful set of historical romance ARCs, if I do say so myself. A Wicked Game by Kate Bateman came out in December and it was quite a bit of fun. I was lucky enough to…
