    October Wrap Up + November TBR

    October was quite a month and we’ve entered a time of year where I just stay busy, apparently. So although I’m not thrilled about the part where I’m only really keeping a post a week pace, it does seem like that’s likely to remain where things are for the next little while. I spent October…

    ARC Reviews: The Empress, Bad Vibes Only, and A Curse of Queens

    Although the title of this post indicates that there are three reviews here, I am actually including a bonus super short DNF review for Just Like Magic by Sarah Hogle, which unfortunately just didn’t work for me. But otherwise, we have The Empress by Gigi Griffis, Bad Vibes Only by Nora McInerny, and A Curse…

    Favorite Books of Summer

    It’s time to sit down and write a post letting you know my favorite books of the last three months and y’all, making this list was a struggle. I think my brain lately has gotten really picky about what it allows me to really, truly fall in love with so I have a couple of…

    ARC Reviews: Bad Girl Reputation, A Turn of the Tide, and Witchful Thinking

    This is a really fun collection of ARC Reviews, I think, with a little bit of everything. Bad Girl Reputation by Elle Kennedy is a contemporary romance I enjoyed that came out on October 4th. A Turn of the Tide by Kelley Armstrong is a time slip romance between two historical time periods, which was…

    September Wrap Up & October TBR

    On the one hand, I’m sad my birthday month is over and on the other hand, I’m ready to fully embrace my Anne of Green Gables life and celebrate living in a world where there are Octobers. I’m beyond fortunate to live in a place where the leaves change colors and I have a lot…

    Contemporary Romance Favorites Project: Hate to Want You, Rock Hard, and A Duke by Default

    Yesterday was my 31st birthday and as a treat during my birthday month, I picked three of the four books that I usually rattle off as my favorite contemporary romances of all time. Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai, Rock Hard by Nalini Singh, and A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole. I’ve re-read…

  • Try a Chapter: October ARCs

    Try a Chapter: October ARCs

    As we’ve discussed, I have a problem with requesting ARCs. As in, I love scrolling Netgalley a little too much. In October, I have ten ARCs, but I’m also going to include The Empress in this post because, tbh, I really truly thought that The Empress came out in October, but then it turns out…

    Contemporary ARC Reviews: The Decoy Girlfriend, A Merry Little Meet Cute, and Lovelight Farms

    September seems like an odd time to start getting into the holiday mood, but as a Christmas girlie, I figure I may as well start now since I’ll still be in full Midnights mode for November when you can usually start getting in the Christmas spirit without judgment. So anyway, all that to say, I…

    Harlequin ARC Reviews: An Offer from Mr. Wrong, The Spirit of Second Chances, Cinderella’s Last Stand, and The Rivals of Casper Road

    I read all four of these Harlequin ARCs in a weekend and let me tell you, it was delightful. I love falling into a story and getting to meet the characters so quickly and to watch the relationship develop. It was just such a fun time. I really, really enjoyed the experience and I’m so…
