  • ARC Reviews: Shit, Actually and Call Me Maybe

    I really enjoyed both of the books I’m talking about today! Shit, Actually by Lindy West marks my eleventh nonfiction of the year, so heck yes for that! Thanks to Netgalley and Hachette for approving my ARC request, but I maybe pre-ordered the audiobook and listened to it Tuesday and Wednesday. Okay, okay, I definitely…

  • Red + Romance Novels, Part One

    Y’all, I think Red remains my favorite Taylor Swift album and so, I feel incredibly betrayed I can’t share with you the actual music because I refuse to allow those people to make a cent because of me on the work Taylor created. I’m very petty, I’m afraid. Anyway, we are finally at the album…

  • October ARCs: Miracles and Menorahs, Black Sun, and If the Boot Fits

    It’s interesting to go from such a themed ARC post (Christmas ARCs) to this eclectic mix of a holiday romance, Miracles and Menorahs by Stacey Agdern, a high fantasy, Black Sun, and a contemporary romance, If the Boot Fits by Rebekah Weatherspoon. The good news is that if these books sound appealing to you, Miracles…

    Book Recommendations for Libras

    As someone who doesn’t totally understand Astrology, I am very here for how well many of my personality traits line up with being a Libra sun sign. From the being interested in fairness and justice elements to the imbalanced expressions of indecisiveness and people-pleasing, there are a lot of elements of my sun sign that…

  • Venus in Libra + Romance Recs

    Last month I did Venus in Virgo + Romance Recs and I was like, “Wow, this is so fun!” Plus, Amber was like, “So… Libra next??” and, I mean, of course, especially today in honor of her birthday! But for some reason, this list was hard to compile! So it’s on time, but later than…

  • 3rd Quarter Favorites

    I read sixty six books in the third quarter of the year, which somehow was one more book than I read last quarter, but still well below what I read from January to March. To be fair to myself, March was very much an outlier. It’s when isolating first started and I was so overwhelmed…

  • Christmas ARCs: In a Holidaze, Mistletoe & Mr. Right, A Princess for Christmas, & Sweet on You

    Christmas is my favorite holiday, which I feel like despite not really talking about too often (I don’t think), you probably could have guessed somehow. I’m writing this while I should be getting ready for bed so it’s possible I’m delirious. But I have been so excited about getting into the Christmas spirit early this…

  • October Harlequin ARCs: After Hours Redemption, Untamed Passion, and High-Priority Asset

    I’m truly so grateful this year brought Harlequin Desires into my life the way that it has. I’d read a couple prior to this year, but now I’m like all in. And this month I got to try a Harlequin Intrigue too! After Hours Redemption is by Kianna Alexander and has an absolutely fantastic cover.…
