    Tier Ranking 2025 Releases I Read from May-August

    Is this post late? Yes. Am I kind of glad because it now gets to feature a tier titled from The Life of a Showgirl? Yes, a bit. Also, if you notice that there are random words missing an ‘I’, the reason is that my I key is sticking and I’m trying my best to…

    #FallIntoLoveBingo Announcement + TBR

    Great news! Dani, Aarya, and I are back with #FallIntoLoveBingo! The bad news is that I had to put together the bingo board just using Canva because this sort of slipped my mind until there was not enough time at all to ask my sister to illustrate the board. Oopsies. Anyway, I hope despite my…

    Belated July Wrap Up

    Since this is as late as it is, I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I just couldn’t handle not posting this staple to my blog. I read 11 books in July, largely because I started play The Sims 4 again and before that I was deep in my reality TV obsession. Let me…

  • Reading Fantasy (Romance?) ARCs: Rose in Chains, The Enchanted Greenhouse, and Between These Broken Hearts

    Reviewing Three “Adventure” Romance ARCs: The Blonde Who Came in from the Cold, The Ripple Effect, and Destination Weddings & Other Disasters

    This trend of books with adventure incorporated has really been working for me and so I’m delighted to bring you three reviews of books I really enjoyed. And all three are out because despite the fact that I read two of the three prior to their release, I for some reason just never wrote the…

  • June Wrap Up

    June Wrap Up

    June takes the prize of the most books I’ve read in a month so far this year, by one more book than what I read in March. What do these two months have in common? A competitive readathon I had a lot of fun participating in. In March, it was the Swiftie Readathon, but in…
