    Mid Year Check In Tag

    The first half of this year has officially come to a close, which is a wild time. I’m so excited to check in with you about my reading year (and hopefully you’ll share with me some about yours in the comments or link me to your own post? Please and thank you!). However, I do…

    June was such a month! I took a two week long vacation and it was glorious, but now I’ve got a cold because of course I do. Anyway, I read 30 books so we’ve got a lot to talk about. Let’s dive in.

    Reviewing 2024 Releases: ARC Reviews of Just Some Stupid Love Story, Rules for Second Chances, and The Best of All

    This set of three ARCs I was lucky enough to get from Netgalley include a book that I really think will be a favorite of the year and two books that I really enjoyed. So we have Just Some Stupid Love Song by Katelyn Doyle (who is actually Scarlett Peckham), which came out on June…

    May Reading Wrap Up & June TBR

    I’m currently in a two week spread where I need extra hours in the day because work is hectic and I’m on vacation for the second half of June. So… There’s that. But I’m actually excited to tell you that I read a favorite of the year this month, Just Some Stupid Love Story by…

    Most Anticipated Books of Summer

    The fact that I did a pretty decent job reading my Most Anticipated Books of Spring (the main set) has me feeling entirely too confident going into the summer months. I love to think that I’ll be able to read a lot while I’m on “vacation,” but historically, I actually don’t read a ton these…

    Backlist ARC Reviews: Friends Don’t Fall in Love, Marry Me by Midnight, and Love in the Redzone

    I actually read Friends Don’t Fall in Love by Erin Hahn all the way back in January, but am just now writing this review for y’all. I wish I could say I had a good reason. I mean, I was sort of hoping that St. Martin’s would acquiesce to the demands of the organizers of…

    Tier Ranking the 2024 Releases I Read from January – April

    I read 31 new releases in the first four months of the year, which seems like a lot to me, but I think is probably on par with where I usually am at this time of year. There are several that were absolutely marvelous and fortunately, not too many that I really didn’t like. And…

    April Wrap Up + May TBR

    Somehow April is over? I’m very bewildered by this. First of all, I somehow decided there were 31 days in April and, well, there are not. Secondly, I am still not ready to move on from Tortured Poets so I’m just not going to and will have it on repeat for the rest of forever.…
