    2025 ARC Reviews: Sisters in the Wind, These Heathens, and These Summer Storms

  • October Wrap Up

    October Wrap Up

    You know, this year has felt like the equivalent of about five years. Like, what do you mean Onyx Storm came out in January?? But also, I am genuinely shocked that it’s already November. Time is a construct, truly. Not real. Anyway, setting aside my complete bewilderment over how time works, let’s talk about the…

  • Sports Romance ARC Reviews: Sweet Thing, The Game Plan, and Only on Gameday

    I’m not sure why, but I’ve really been in a sports romance mood recently and have been picking them up more often than I usually do. I’m also still not out of the single parent romance situation, which may be why Sweet Thing by Kate Meader worked so fantastically well for me. I am so…

    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…
