September Wrap Up
In the month of September, I read eighteen books, which is a bit lower than normal. It’s also a pretty good indicator of where I’m at right now in terms of dealing with the pandemic. AKA, I can’t do anything, including focus on reading. That said, I’ve read some really incredible books, so I’m looking…

29 Books that Influenced Me in Celebration of My 29th Birthday
Aging is a weird thing, you know? I mean, maybe not if you weren’t raised in the United States where Hollywood makes women over 30 seem like unicorns and certainly not like women who have lives outside of like… motherhood. But I’m determined to age gracefully and so I want to celebrate the fact that…

Historical ARCs: The Duke Who Didn’t & All Scot and Bothered
I know I normally do three books during these ARC reviews, but I hope you’ll forgive me and indulge my current whim to do just two. I wrote long-ish reviews for both of these so it seems fitting anyway. The books I’m talking about today are The Duke Who Didn’t by Courtney Milan, which was…

Most Anticipated Books (Seasonal) Check In
We’re three seasons into my most anticipated lists and I wanted to check in and see if (a) I’m actually reading the books I predicted and (b) if, like last year, I’ve had a knock out book that wasn’t even on my radar or if I’ve been pretty successful anticipating my favorite books. So let’s…

Three ARC Reviews: When No One is Watching, Well Played, and Spoiler Alert
So thrilled to talk to y’all about these three books! I have a lot of thoughts and opinions, most of which I couldn’t figure out how to put into words so I apologize in advance if these reviews are more exclamation points than text. When No One is Watching by Alyssa Cole has hit the…

Romance Recommendations for Venus in Virgo
So a million years ago, I did a couple of posts about book recommendations for certain signs and then fell off of that entirely. I know it’s a relatively popular concept, which I love, because I think it’s really neat. However, when I decided I wanted to return to this idea, my sister was like,…

The Ripped Bodice Summer Bingo Wrap Up
Over the summer I participated in The Ripped Bodice’s Summer Bingo and had a ton of fun doing so! I kept up a thread on twitter, but I didn’t really talk about it much on my blog. Since some of the squares they used are super specific, I thought it would be fun to have…

August Wrap Up, Part Two
I know I should finish out this month before throwing out this format of wrapping up my months, but I’ve had this half written for four days now and I still haven’t made much progress. So… I’m going to try something inspired by Kim and Nick because I just don’t feel like reviewing every book…

#FallIntoRomBingo TBR
If you’ve been here for honestly any length of time, you may have picked up on the fact that I’m atrocious at following a TBR so I hope you won’t be to harsh with me if I struggle to actually follow this. But I figured since #FallIntoRom is officially underway and more recommendations (or whatever…

September Harlequin Desire ARCs: Trust Fund Fiancé, Secret Crush Seduction, and Reckless Envy
I really just started reading Harlequin Desire with any sort of regularity this year because these rebranded covers have me utterly captivated and delighted. Now I’m over here avidly following certain series (Seven Sins) and authors (Naima Simone always and Jayci Lee) and so excited Harlequin keeps giving me the opportunity to review these books…
