  • 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…

    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

    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…

  • March ARC Reviews: A Game of Cones and At the Rancher’s Pleasure

    First of all, let me begin by saying I’m sorry that I’ve been so sporadically posting. This month has been rough on me and I’m trying to maintain a normal schedule and just failing to do that. So these reviews are both late, but hopefully they’ll help you decide if you want to pick up…

    Speak Now + (Mostly Romance) Novels, Part One

    I, for one, cannot wait for Taylor to get to the Speak Now and Red re-recordings, but I want her to follow her joy and her muse wherever it directs her so despite my anticipation, I will patiently wait for her to give me what I need. In the meantime, we have now reached the…
