Try a Chapter: August ARCs
I have a Netgalley problem, friends. Like, truly.

Contemporary Favorites Project: Check In Number 1
I’ve decided to check in every three books so that I can do full reviews where I break down my numerical scoring of these favorites and articulate my thoughts about it.

Let’s Talk: Marketing Romance Novels
I think I’ve known that people in my romance reader circles have had feelings about marketing romance novels (and women’s fiction) for a while, but when I posted my Heavier Topics in Romance thoughts a couple weeks ago, it became clear that so many of us have thoughts about marketing.

June Wrap Up & July TBR
I always knew that I am so lucky to have the family that I do, but June has really brought that home for me. And when I say family, I mean the friends who are like family too. Work has been stressful and will be even more so during the next month and I’ve really
