  • #SnowInLoveBingo Wrap Up, The First Time

    So, as y’all know, I had some really grand plans for my #SnowInLoveBingo TBR. And then December hit and I just really didn’t feel like reading. That is, I didn’t feel like reading until I realized it was because I only wanted to read Nalini Singh, and specifically I wanted to re-read Guild Hunters. So…

    December ARC Reviews: Off Limits Attraction, Mediocre, and The Way You Hold Me

    I know this is incredibly late. Each of these books released on December 1st and yes, I had the review copies in plenty of time from Netgalley to have them read and reviewed. But I read Burnout in December and I’m resolved to be kind of myself so guess what! I’ve decided to positively reframe…

    It is time to wrap up the year that was 2020 and I’m really pleased by that fact! Last year I said I was pulling these questions from a bunch of sources, but I neglected to actually list where they were coming from, so I know Books and Lala was definitely one of the sources,…

    December Wrap Up

    I threw basically all of the rules out the window this month and just read because it was fun and utterly delightful. I enjoyed my time so incredibly much, I can’t even explain to you.
