Favorite Reads of Quarter Two
I love checking in to report back on my favorite books of the quarter. It’s such a fun check in. This check in is always so interesting because it’s not necessarily just five star reads, but the ones that have really stuck with me and I think that’s so neat to look back on. So…

June Wrap Up
I was absolutely swamped in June with plans every single weekend, which resulted in me neglecting the blog so terribly. I apologize for that, but also, don’t be alarmed if that happens again in July. The good news is that I did not neglect my reading (shout out to audiobooks, as per usual). I read…

Catch Up ARC Reviews: Going Bicoastal, Honey, and Total Dreamboat
I’ve decided I need to get serious about tackling my backlist ARCs. I lasted on this project for approximately 10 days and have since derailed myself and have been reading pretty random books, mostly new ones. Hopefully writing these reviews will get me excited about my project again. Let us all cross our fingers. Anyway,…

May Wrap Up
Listen, I don’t really know what happened in May, but I read too many books. I also did a lot of rereading. So I’m going to try and get through this post in a quick and timely manner, but let us all pray that whatever was going on with me in May chills out in…

2026 ARC Reviews: Chaos, Out of Her League, and The Summer of Lost Things
Alright y’all, we’ve got some good books to talk about today! Each of these books (Chaos by EJ Blaise, Out of Her League by Ava Rani, and The Summer of Lost Things by Jenn Bennett) released in May, with one caveat. Technically, Chaos came out last year, but it released in audio this year so…

2026 Releases ARC Reviews: The Art of Loving You, Echoes of Insurrection, and Good at Being Alive
This is such a weird mix of books, I feel like. The Art of Loving You by Natasha Bishop and Good at Being Alive by Elizabeth O’Roarke are both contemporary romances with grief elements, so they have that in common, I suppose. And then Echoes of Insurrection is just my little outlier. Regardless, those are…

June TBR + New Releases
Happy Pride Month, friends! This month is slightly quieter than May for me with new releases that I’m super excited about, but I didn’t ever get around to sharing a May TBR so my sincere apologies if you were looking for that. I’m behind on blogging for sure. Anyway, I’m really excited about reading right…

Celebrating Queer Joy: ARC Reviews of After Hours at Dooryard Books, Star Shipped, and The House of Now and Then
Considering how much I’ve already raved about After Hours at Dooryard Books and Star Shipped to anyone who would listen, it is really strange to just now be sitting down to write full reviews of each of the books to share with y’all. I’ve already talked about them in my April Wrap Up and my…

Tier Ranking the 2026 Releases I Read from January – April
These posts are probably my favorites of the year, but they’re also a lot of work so yay for being here! We’re going with Taylor Swift tiers as per usual, so we’ve got The Alchemy as our top most tier, not because it’s my favorite song but because it encompasses the idea of loving a…
