  • January Wrap Up & February TBR

    January Wrap Up & February TBR

    Somehow January absolutely flew by and I’m afraid February will do the same thing. I’m participating in #ShopYourShelves Bingo, which I thought meant that it would be a good idea to put myself on a semi-book buying ban. Well. I’ve somehow managed to acquire entirely too many books. Oops. (I say somehow. I purchased way

    I Read Some ARCs, So Here are Some Reviews ft. A Valentine for Christmas, Tread of Angels, Counterfeit Courtship, and Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun

    I swear to y’all, I really am reading books. It’s just, I’m doing it a little randomly and also not in any sort of sensible order. So here I am, bringing you reviews for books that released in… November through the end of the month, as one does. Anyway, I want to clarify that I

    Tier Ranking the 2022 Releases I Read from Sept. – Dec.

    I’ve decided to embrace the tier ranking system so that I don’t have to actually try and separate out my feelings on all of the books that I feel very average about. So what we’re going to have instead today are tiers! I have no idea how this will go, so if y’all would please

    2022 Goal Check In & Setting 2023 Intentions

    2022 was a really interesting year, one that I still haven’t quite determined how I feel about it. Professionally, there was a lot that happened. Personally, there wasn’t a ton that happened, though I did get to spend a lot of time with my friends and family. And reading wise, I feel like it was

    December Wrap Up & January TBR

    Y’all, 2023 is HERE and that is weird and wild. But while I’m working on content that is both wrapping up 2022 and looking ahead at 2023, I also need to actually conclude my wrap up posts of the year and thus, here is my December Wrap Up. I read 23 books in December, so

    Most Anticipated Books of 2023

    Honestly, it was rather difficult for me to pick a list of ten books for this list. My Most Anticipated Books for the whole year is usually the list I try to prioritize the most so I want these books to be ones where I’m genuinely like jumping up and down begging for an ARC

    Fall Quarter Favorites

    I know everyone is releasing their favorite books of the year posts, but I have to squeeze in my final quarter of 2022 favorites real quick first! I just feel like I have so much to talk about at the end and beginning of the year every time and it’s made worse because of how

    Favorite Books of 2022

    I cannot believe it’s already 2023. Like, where did the time go? I haven’t the slightest, personally. 2022 was a weird reading year for me. Or maybe just a weird year, it’s hard to say. Regardless, I feel like my reading mood was just a bit off and I think the difficulty I had in

    Favorite New/New to Me Authors Found in 2022

    One of the things I love to do is keep track of the new authors I find throughout the year and then it’s neat to look back to past years and see when I first discovered my favorites. This year is a little strange because I have been pretty awful at continuing to read from

    Checking In on My Most Anticipated Lists

    I really wish I was coming to you to report that since I wrote my Check In at the middle of the year I have managed to reach the five books that I hadn’t yet. Instead, I can report that I read one additional book. But anyway, let’s check in with everything!
