  • February Wrap Up and March TBR

    February Wrap Up and March TBR

    At what point of reading less than 20 books a month does it become not a reading slump, but a new type of reading habit? I’ve been reading significantly less in a month since October of last year and I really can’t figure out the cause. It definitely makes having as many ARCs as I…

  • 2024 ARC Reviews: Not Your Crush’s Cauldron, The Friendship Study, and Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice

    2024 ARC Reviews: Not Your Crush’s Cauldron, The Friendship Study, and Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice

    First of all, being able to read Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice early is, in and of itself, an entire reason to have a Netgalley account, but these three books also gave me another reason: I wouldn’t have read The Friendship Study for AGES if I hadn’t had the push of an ARC to prioritize…

  • 2024 ARC Reviews: Wild Life, Love Naturally, and Faebound

    I actually did read these books in January, I just dragged my feet writing these reviews. Why? No idea. Anyway, I’m so excited to bring you reviews for Wild Life by Opal Wei, Love, Naturally by Sophie Sullivan, and Faebound by Saara El-Arifi. I received all three from Netgalley, but I listened to Faebound via…

  • January Wrap Up & February TBR

    January Wrap Up & February TBR

    January was a century long, but my reading was pretty on par for my recent months reading, clocking in at 17 reads. I had a pretty decent month, reading wise, with the highlight absolutely being my re-read of Crescent City 1 and 2 and then my first read of CC3, House of Flame and Shadow!…

    2024 ARC Reviews: Red String Theory, Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherworlds, and Ready or Not

    I put these books in this post in publication order, even though the first book I read was actually Ready or Not by Cara Bastone because I was so excited when I got the ARC that I read it immediately. I love Bastone’s writing and even though this wasn’t my favorite romance from her, I…

    Ranking the 2022 Titles I Read in 2023

    Is this too complicated a blog title? Maybe. But you see, I read 60ish 2022 releases last year and I was considering just doing one giant backlist tier ranking post, but I just don’t think I can handle the sheer number of books that would be so I’m carving out 2022 and tier ranking those…
