  • July Wrap Up

    July Wrap Up

    So… I took a sort of impromptu and also long time coming blog hiatus for part of last month. I’ve never been the most consistent, so I didn’t bother to write a post about it and I didn’t officially take one, even to myself. I kept telling myself I was going to get it together…

  • June Wrap Up

    June Wrap Up

    I feel like I’ve thought my reading has been off for a while now, but June really pulled a “hold my beer” on that thought. I read a grand total of 11 books and a lot of times reading really felt like pulling teeth. But I really enjoyed a lot of what I read so…

  • ARC Reviews: The Soulmate Equation, The Hellion’s Waltz, and It Happened One Summer

    I’ve been trying to be thematic in some way with my reviews lately, but at this point, that just means I still haven’t reviewed The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren, which came out last month and the review has been written for about as long. So today, I am presenting you with a review of…

  • #SpringIntoLove Bingo Wrap Up

    Another season of Bingo is officially wrapped up and I somehow managed to finish it even though I gave myself silly rules like only one book from any given author and it had to be above a three star in order to count. Now, admittedly, I broke the only one book from any given author…

  • Reading Three of My Most Anticipated Books of June: Malibu Rising, One Last Stop, and Neon Gods

    Specifically, I suppose, thees are three of my most anticipated releases of June that also all happened to release on June 1st. So this post is late even though I had actually finished each book by June 1st. But sometimes life gets in the way. So, my apologies, but let’s talk about Malibu Rising by…

  • May Wrap Up

    May Wrap Up

    May was an interesting month. The CDC decided that if you’re fully vaccinated, you don’t need to wear a mask anymore and it has been quite an adjustment to returning to business as usual in the State I live in. Because apparently we’re all fully vaccinated (please insert eye roll here). I am, however, so…

    Most Anticipated Books of Summer

    I really love looking forward to new releases and there are some great ones coming up in the next three months, including some of my most anticipated books of the year. I feel like normally summer is not a release time that I have a super extensive list of anticipated books, but that is just…

  • Reading Three Adult Contemporary Books with Grief Storylines: Just Last Night, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird, and Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune

    Reading Three Adult Contemporary Books with Grief Storylines: Just Last Night, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird, and Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune

    I don’t know if it’s just me, but every now and again, I like to lean into the sad books. I don’t cope well with grief IRL so sometimes I like to try and read books with a grief plot line largely in hopes that they will somehow teach me some sort of coping skill…
