Tier Ranking 2023 Releases I Read from January through April
I’ve read 30 and DNF’d two 2023 releases so far this year so that is what we are ranking today! We are once again doing this post by doing tiers because it’s just so much easier for my brain. I hope y’all don’t mind. Our categories are once again inspired by Taylor Swift songs. So

April Wrap Up & May TBR
April has been a weird month, somehow both incredibly slow moving and over so quickly, I’m a little in shock. That said, Saturday I see Taylor Swift for the first time in too many years and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED IT’S FINALLY MAY, you have no idea. I’ve had an incredible start to the

Historical Romance ARC Reviews: A Wicked Game, To Swoon and To Spar, and Verity & the Forbidden Suitor
Historical romance and I have an up and down relationship at the best of times, but this was a pretty successful set of historical romance ARCs, if I do say so myself. A Wicked Game by Kate Bateman came out in December and it was quite a bit of fun. I was lucky enough to

Celebrating Queer Love Stories: Never Ever Getting Back Together, Something Wild & Wonderful, and The Fiancée Farce
What a truly fantastic set of ARCs that I have finally at long last read!! I cannot wait to actually dive into these three books, but let me give you the quick and dirty facts on them real quick. Never Ever Getting Back Together by Sophie Gonzales is technically a YA contemporary romance, but it

Spring Debuts, Pt. 2: Bitter Medicine, The Build Up, and Sizzle Reel
A mixed bag when trying authors you’ve never read from before is probably to be expected, yeah? And that’s certainly the situation here. I had two DNFs, but I still wanted to take the time to talk about all three of these books because they are debuts and I don’t think either of my DNFs

Reading 4 Swoonie Nominees: Partners in Crime, Ship Wrecked, The Hellion and the Hero, and When You Get the Chance
So, if you’re not already aware, I love The Swoon Awards. And despite my best efforts, I am never ever caught up on my ARCs. So I decided to take this opportunity to combine two things, Swoonie Nominees and ARCs I’m very delayed on and review them for you! Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai

Reviewing Spring Debuts: Real Love, For Her Consideration, and Love Buzz
I’m absolutely thrilled to be reunited with my laptop (post Italy, we were separated for over a week), so even though you’re not seeing this as my first post back from an unanticipated hiatus, this is my first post that I’m typing and I just had to share my joy!! This post is about some

Favorite Reads of Quarter One
If I did my math right, which is honestly always a question, I’ve read 66 books in the first three months of the year so I have some really amazing books that I’m so excited to share in more depth with y’all! I have a primary list of ten and then an honorable mentions list

March Wrap Up + April TBR
Nothing like doing your March Wrap Up and April TBR nearly two weeks into April, you know? But, in my defense, my laptop was not with me until last Friday. So… I’ve only had like, almost a week. Whatever. Anyway, March was amazing! Mostly because I went to Italy. (If you want pictures from Italy,

Catching up on Avon Historical Romances: Heartbreaker, The Duke Gets Even, A Counterfeit Scoundrel, and The Portrait of a Duchess
Have I mentioned how relieved I am that the Harper Collins strike has finally come to an end? While I wish Harper Collins hadn’t left its employees out to dry for so long, I am genuinely thrilled that the Union ultimately succeeded in obtaining most of what they wanted.
