Get to Know the Reviewer: 10 Things I Love in Books
I came across a one-star review from a person I’m Goodreads friends with of a book I was loving the other day that said, “I could barely get through it.” This got me wondering, how do we decide whose reviews we can trust? For me, I think it’s a two fold question. I trust several

August ARCs: Marriage by Arrangement, You Had Me at Hola, and Like Lovers Do
I have really been blessed by the ARC gods, aka Netgalley and the publishers, Harlequin and Avon, and I’m excited to slightly belatedly talk to you about these three books I enjoyed! Marriage by Arrangement by Sophia Singh Sasson was my first book from the author, but I’m sure it won’t be the last. Just

Checking In: Antiracism Work & Celebrating Black Joy
I said I was going to do this check in monthly and then I ghosted y’all in the month of July even though I thought about writing it a million times. July was a weird month with a lot of fun things and a lot of stress from still being in a pandemic. But setting

July Wrap Up
I think this is the first time in a really long time I haven’t done a mid-month wrap up of the books I read this month. I read 21 books this month, which is two more than I read in June, so good job to myself. The reason I didn’t do a mid-month wrap up

folklore + romance novels: part two
Welcome back! And welcome to a new month. August is here, which is wild. My nephew should arrive this month though so I am incredibly excited and EMERALD BLAZE will be in front of my eyeballs in 26 days!! I can’t wait. In the meantime, I’m still listening to the greatest surprise of my life

folklore + romance novels: part one
Y’all, I haven’t had this much serotonin hanging out in my brain in MONTHS. When Taylor dropped this news last week I found out as I was walking into work so I literally walked in with my hand in front of my mouth (masked), shaking, and basically screamed at everyone once I got into the

July ARCs: Hairpin Curves, Paradise Cove, & Sweetest in the Gale
I real quick want to plug two other reviews in case you missed them for releases that also come out today: Sunday’s post included Deal with the Devil by Kit Rocha, which I would highly recommend, and then late last month/early this month (time is fake), I posted my review of The Care and Feeding

July ARCs: More than Maybe, A Touch of Stone and Snow, & Deal with the Devil
Y’all, there are a lot of books that have come out this month! I hope my reviews can help you figure out where to prioritize your money/library requests based on your tastes, but I’ll be honest, these three were all pretty good depending on what you want! More than Maybe by Erin Hahn was my

2020 Celebrity Memoirs: Open Book, More Myself, The Rural Diaries
I’ve been doing surprisingly well reading (audibly) nonfiction this year, but this is still not a post I could have predicted wanting to write. However, when I impulse picked up Open Book by Jessica Simpson on audio and fell madly in love with it, I knew I needed to write an actual review. And then

2020 Reading Goals: Mid-Year Check In
I’m really good at setting reading goals and then equally as good as pretending that I never did such a thing. So I try to do these check in posts quarterly so that I do check in and see where I’m at and how I’m doing. Now that we’re halfway through the year, we’ll see
