#SnowInLoveBingo Wrap Up, Round Two
And we’re back! I’m so pleased to talk to you about another 25 books! I did a little better about sticking to a TBR… Maybe. I mean, I sort of read 10ish of the books on my #SnowInLoveBingo TBR, although I didn’t use them all for the squares I said I did or even squares…

February ARCs: Wild Rain and Love at First
I have been extremely blessed by the ARC gods and I’m grateful for that. I also bought myself finished copies of both of these books, but who is really surprised? You can pick up Wild Rain by Beverly Jenkins today! I stopped by Barnes & Noble today and bought my copy, even though it should…

Book Recommendations for Aquarians
Aquariuses are Air signs like me (a Libra), although this line from Cosmo makes them sound way more exciting than I’ve ever been: “Aquarians not only want to save the world, but they’ve got the engineering and intellectual smarts to actually have a plan on how to do it too.” They also apparently keep things…

February ARC Reviews: Back in the Texan’s Bed and First Comes Like
I’ve discovered a side effect to my intense mood reading in December is that my brain is more committed than ever to not following a plan for my reading. So instead of getting reviews for the three books I have advanced copies of that came out on February 2nd, you’re getting reviews today for First…

Let’s Talk: Third Act Break Ups
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about how dissatisfying too many romance novels endings have been in the past couple of years and I decided I actually wanted to talk about it. Or, write about it, I suppose. So that is what’s happening today! I am not a person who hates third…

January Wrap Up
January was such a messy month and felt so much like 2020 never ended, but had some pretty glorious and delightful moments too. Specifically, the fact that Kamala Harris is now MADAM Vice President!!! I am honestly still on Cloud 9. Does this solve all of the problems in the U.S.? Absolutely not. But wow,…

evermore + romance novels, Part Two
If you missed part one, check that out here. I’m excited and nervous to be presenting you with the next eight song and book combinations to finish up evermore songs paired with romance novels. There’s probably going to be less analysis because I sliced off part of my pointer finger on my right hand and…

evermore + Romance Novels, Part One
It is finally time to do my evermore and romance novels post! I am both excited about it and yet still feel completely unprepared. This latest album was obviously such a surprise and also the storytelling narrative style Taylor embrace in folklore really shines here, which made it difficult to match up song and book…

Trope Talk: Revisiting Second Chance Romance Novels
A long time ago, I wrote a post about how I really don’t like second chance romances, but I had five exceptions that I talked about. Since I made that post, I think my thoughts on Second Chance Romances have sort of evolved. It is still not my favorite trope, but I do think I…
