    April Wrap Up

    Y’all… What a month. I can’t remember if I explained that my job responsibilities officially changed on April 1st or not, but let’s just say, this adjustment has meant a whole lot more on my ability to take in new information and therefore I am both struggling to read and struggling to output creative content.

  • Reading Three Harlequin Category Romances from Three Different Lines: His to Protect, A Marriage of Equals, and Taking on the Billionaire

    If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may have noticed that I like to read Harlequin Desire category romances. I am not at all an expert in what each of the lines means in terms of rules, but I decided it would be fun to start exploring some of the other lines,

  • A to Z Under Reviewed Romance Recommendation Post

    Emma from drinking by the shelf did this the other day and I decided it looked really fun. I’m going to try my very best to give you 26 romance recommendations that have fewer than 1,000 ratings on Goodreads in a sort of speed round with just a sentence or two about the plot. Let’s

    Reading Three of My Most Anticipated Books of April: To Love and To Loathe, Twice Shy, and The Intimacy Experiment

    April 6th was a huge day of romance releases for me because I have been eagerly anticipating the sophomore novels of Martha Waters, Sarah Hogle, and Rosie Danan since I finished up their debuts last year! To Love and To Loathe by Martha Waters is a historical romance novel I was lucky enough to receive

    Nonfiction Reviews: Broken, Untamed, and I’m Still Here

    I’ve read five nonfiction books so far this year, but I’m specifically wanting to talk about three of them today. Broken by Jenny Lawson is an essay collection that is at times so hilarious I had to pause the audiobook because I couldn’t hear it over the sound of my laughter and at times so

  • Mini Series Reviews: The Brown Sisters, Building 402 Series, and So Over the Holidays

    I would apologize for the fact that my blogging has been incredibly sporadic of late, but I feel like that’s just what you’re going to keep getting for a while. I’ve transitioned into a new role at work and most of my energy has gone into that for the time being, which means my reading

  • Favorite Books of Winter (Jan-Mar)

    It is time for one of my favorite posts to make! I have made this list a little odd this time, in which I have six favorite favorites and four honorable mentions. Probably I should have just made this a 1-10 sort of situation, but that’s not what I did. So far this year, I’ve

  • March Wrap Up

    March Wrap Up

    I feel like I should acknowledge that March was rough for me and that making content was really difficult. I’m not sure that April will be better, but I’ve already got my copy of People We Meet on Vacation from Book of the Month Club and April 6th has three of my most highly anticipated

    Mini Series Reviews: Destiny, Forever Yours, and Modern Love

    One of the things I want to do more this year is write series reviews. I think they can be really informative when other people do them and I usually enjoy writing them! Plus, since I’m no longer reviewing every book I read on here, it seems like a nice way to be able to
