    Books I Meant to Read in 2023 but Didn’t

    I really love to check in on my Most Anticipated Books of each season list and I know that I have many days of December left, but I’m going to be honest, where my brain is right now, I’m not certain I’ll be getting to anymore of these. I seem to be in a re-reading…

    October Wrap Up & November TBR

    October saw me make approximately 50 friendship bracelets, watch the Eras Tour movie three times, and listen to 1989 Taylor’s Version… Idk, like 60+ times? Oh, and watch two Chiefs football games. Did I read? I mean, yes. Did I read as much as I normally do? No. Not at all. Because in addition to…

    Please Read These Underhyped Books

    So, I was scrolling through a Goodreads list, as one does, trying to decide what books I think are likely to be nominated in the romance category this year and realized that Happy Place by Emily Henry has literally over half a million ratings on Goodreads, while so many books that I have also loved…

    ARC Reviews of Inheritance, Witches Get Stuff Done, and Playing the Witch Card

    I read some more of my ARCs! Is my Netgalley score still on the struggle bus because I can’t seem to stop requesting books? Yes. Yes, it is. But never mind that, let’s talk about three books that you can already purchase because I am, as usual, behind. First up, let’s talk about Full Moon…

    September Wrap Up + October TBR

    September is my birthday month and generally is a month I really love, but this September was full of… a lot of not great things. Also, I feel like I’m fighting off a reading slump, or maybe it’s just a little dip in my mental health. But I did manage to read 20 books and…
