  • My Fantasy TBR: A List and a Request for Opinions

    My Fantasy TBR: A List and a Request for Opinions

    I admittedly usually read at least some fantasy, but it’s usually either an author I already know and love (Sarah J.

    2021 Wrap Up and 2022 Goals

    It’s honestly hard to believe that 2022 is here and 2021 has come to a close. It feels so weird to look back on the last year. I started 2021 with covid, finally started therapy, but not until after I booked a last minute trip across the country to go whale watching in Seattle to…

    My Favorite Backlist Romances that I Read in 2021

    I am back with another list of favorites for you today because I just can’t help myself but have several lists. We’ll get into how many books I read total in 2021, but I think it was right around 270 so this is sort of like a list of 10 per 100 books read. Or…

  • December Wrap Up

    December Wrap Up

    We could also call this month the “Help, I fell down the Wheel of Time rabbit hole and I can’t get out,” which is a very abrupt departure from my Kate Canterbary rabbit hole. It is also true though. The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime absolutely captured my attention and held it to the…
