    Contemporary ARC Reviews: Playing for Keeps, Best Man with Benefits, and The Best Laid Plans

    Alright y’all, I have been dragging my feet at reading ARCs, let alone reviewing them, but I’m here today because I have miraculously read three contemporary romances I had as ARCs this week! I’m in a very mood reading sort of zone, tbh, and I’ve been reading a lot in July (just like zero obligatory…

    Speak Now + Romance Novels, Part Two

    If you haven’t been here for two years, you’re probably confused about how in the world this is part two when there hasn’t been a part one. But there was. On March 21, 2021. I’m so sorry this second part has come SO much later. Anyway, here’s the link to Part One and given how…

    June Wrap Up and July TBR

    I genuinely cannot believe how quickly June went by. I didn’t really do any of the things that I needed or even intended to do, but, well, it is what it is. I have been struggling to feel very motivated to accomplish anything lately, which is not great. But c’est la vie. Hopefully that feeling…

    Favorites of Q2

    Not to be a broken record, but how in the world have three more months gone by? I think I’m just starting to feel my age because I swear time never went this quickly as a kid. But regardless, here we are. In the last three months, I have read 68 books. I still have…

    Mid-Year Freak Out Tag

    I really do love doing this tag. This started on YouTube with Chami and Ellie, but slowly over time, it’s really been modified time and time again by various creators. I’ve modified it some myself, but I’m really excited to talk about these questions!

  • Assorted ARC Reviews: Funny Guy, Tell Me Everything, Once More with Feeling, and The Atlas Paradox

    This is just a set of reviews of ARCs that I’ve finished (or DNF’d) and need to tell you about so that Netgalley doesn’t think I’m quite as bad at this as I actually am. The list these books are listed in the title is more or less a ranked list, if I’m being honest,…

    #SpringIntoLoveBingo Wrap Up

    I procrastinated writing this post in the hopes that I would complete the board for a second time, but I’m three squares away and have limited interest in intentionally filling them, so I’ve decided to just call it and go ahead and shift my focus to The Ripped Bodice’s Summer Bingo, which I like to…

    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…

    Most Anticipated Books of Summer

    So, I would not necessarily say I’ve done the best of jobs reading my most anticipated books of the year so far, but I’ve done an excellent job purchasing them. Fingers crossed I both purchase and read these books I have on this list, shall we?

    Midnights + Romance Novels, Part Two

    Were some of y’all worried that I wasn’t going to have Part Two up as promised? Because, I’ll be honest, I was a little bit even though I already had all the song match ups ready to go. These posts are just so involved! But I’m so excited to be finishing out Midnights with eleven…
