2026 ARC Reviews: Chaos, Out of Her League, and The Summer of Lost Things
Alright y’all, we’ve got some good books to talk about today! Each of these books (Chaos by EJ Blaise, Out of Her League by Ava Rani, and The Summer of Lost Things by Jenn Bennett) released in May, with one caveat. Technically, Chaos came out last year, but it released in audio this year so…

2026 Releases ARC Reviews: The Art of Loving You, Echoes of Insurrection, and Good at Being Alive
This is such a weird mix of books, I feel like. The Art of Loving You by Natasha Bishop and Good at Being Alive by Elizabeth O’Roarke are both contemporary romances with grief elements, so they have that in common, I suppose. And then Echoes of Insurrection is just my little outlier. Regardless, those are…

June TBR + New Releases
Happy Pride Month, friends! This month is slightly quieter than May for me with new releases that I’m super excited about, but I didn’t ever get around to sharing a May TBR so my sincere apologies if you were looking for that. I’m behind on blogging for sure. Anyway, I’m really excited about reading right…

Celebrating Queer Joy: ARC Reviews of After Hours at Dooryard Books, Star Shipped, and The House of Now and Then
Considering how much I’ve already raved about After Hours at Dooryard Books and Star Shipped to anyone who would listen, it is really strange to just now be sitting down to write full reviews of each of the books to share with y’all. I’ve already talked about them in my April Wrap Up and my…

Tier Ranking the 2026 Releases I Read from January – April
These posts are probably my favorites of the year, but they’re also a lot of work so yay for being here! We’re going with Taylor Swift tiers as per usual, so we’ve got The Alchemy as our top most tier, not because it’s my favorite song but because it encompasses the idea of loving a…

ARC Reviews: Stranger Things Have Happened, An Ordinary Sort of Evil, and Dolly All the Time
I have been so fortunate with the ARCs I’ve had access to lately and these three were all winners! Stranger Things Have Happened was my second book by Kasie West and solidified that she’s going to be an auto-read author from me because I am truly vibing with her writing style. An Ordinary Sort of…

April Wrap Up
This is going to need to be a rapid fire wrap up because I decided I wanted to do a 30 books in 30 days challenge for myself because… I don’t really know, actually. But I succeeded! So I have 30 books to rapidly tell you about so let’s tackle them, shall we?

Catch Up ARC Reviews: Waiting for Friday Night, We Met Like This, and Some Kind of Famous
I think I’ve been pretty up front that I am the world’s worst at getting books read in a timely fashion, but I do still try and read and review them! This is part of why I don’t write full reviews of every book I read so I still feel like I’m giving these books…

Contemporary Romance ARC Reviews: Enemies to Lovers, While You Were Seething, and How Not to Fall in Love
I had a great spring break, which is a thing that I made for myself because for some reason we don’t get one as adults and that felt cruel this year for some reason. Anyway, the reason I had a great spring break is because I read a lot of good books, including these three.…
