    Finishing Trilogies: ARC Reviews of The Charmer, Can’t Get Enough, and Along Came Amor

    Thematically writing ARC review posts is always a wee bit of a struggle because of my mood reading tendencies and the way that I will immediately rebel the second I set myself a strict TBR, but I somehow managed to read these three in quick succession so here we are with an actual themed ARC

    Continuing Series: ARC Reviews of Two Secrets to Surrender, Left of Forever, and Heart Strings

    This is so fun to be able to bring you a review of a book you can pick up right now (Two Secrets to Surrender), a book you can pick up in two days (Left of Forever), and a book that doesn’t come out until August (Heart Strings). Is that too far away to tell

  • April Wrap Up

    We are entering the time of the year where everything is busy all the time and also the weather changes are wreaking havoc on my immune system. I’ve slept so much today so I think I’m mostly ready to write this post today. Here’s hoping. April was a pretty good reading month, although I truly

    May Releases & TBR

    Either this year is flying by or I’m dissociating too close to the sun, because I swear I blinked and it’s May. Which feels weird because I also feel like every week takes an agonizingly long amount of time, but then when I stop and realize how far we are into the year already, I

    ARC Reviews: Takes One to Know One, Last Chance to Save the World, and Death at a Highland Wedding

    Thank goodness for audiobooks, honestly. I’ve not been necessarily reading as many as I think I do historically, but I did listen to each of these books and they kept me company on road trips I’ve taken in the last month.

    If you’re reading this, we’ve made it through the first three months of 2025! I’m proud of us. I’m not sure if the world feels like it’s on fire everywhere, but I know that here in the US, I’m definitely feeling that way. So I’m going to share with you the books that have either

    March Wrap Up

    Before March started, I had this goal to read 31 books in 31 days because I am nothing if not irrational (aka, I have accidentally done that two years in a row and wanted to see if I could do it again). I did not achieve 31 books in 31 days, but I did hit
