    ARC Reviews: Yerba Buena, A Rip in Time, and See You Yesterday

    Backlist Reviews: The Dating Playbook, Happy Endings, and The Heart Principle

    I will admit that this post is not exactly the post I meant to put up today. I was hoping to bring you three backlist reviews of ARCs I received and then just procrastinated reading for ages and ages.

    April Wrap Up and May TBR

    Y’all, my reading groove is back. I think I really was just slowed down with my obsession with The Wheel of Time so it’s good to be back on reading a ton of books with some variety. I had a good reading time in April. As far as everything else, my nephew is my favorite

    Mini Series Reviews: Wheel of Time, The Edge, and the Fitzhugh Trilogy

    It’s been an absolute age since I’ve done a set of series reviews, but I really wanted to talk about my thoughts on Wheel of Time and I figured that I might as well go ahead and throw together a quick series review of the three most recent series I’ve finished! So today I’m going

  • ARC Reviews: Ten Steps to Nanette, The Wedding Crasher, and Summoning Up Love

    I think I should probably be honest with y’all and let you know that you should not really expect timely reviews from me, although I do promise I’m trying to get back on track. But today we do at least have books that either just came out or will hit the shelf shortly. First up,
