    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. What was tragic was not getting…

    Buzzword Challenge: “Secret” – Reviews of The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen, Hotel of Secrets, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

    Booksandlala is my favorite booktuber and while I’m generally not the best at participating in specific challenges, I’ve decided this year to make an effort to complete the Buzzword Challenge each month. Normally I don’t feel the need to make a blog post about the books I read for the challenge, but this month, the…

    #SnowInLoveBingo Wrap Up

    I had so much fun frantically trying to complete this Bingo board two entire times because I’m ridiculous and I really love this board.

    ARC Reviews: Midnight Duet, Take the Lead, and Alliance with His Stolen Heiress

    I’m so excited to be bringing you reviews where all three books are 2023 releases! Look at me go! I would advise you not to expect this from me because, tbh, I’m so behind in ARC reading and I saw this meme on Ally Bryan’s Instagram that fits me perfectly: So anyway, that’s not what…
