Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag
I love this tag so much and I’m really excited to be doing it finally. Technically, the mid-point of the year is July 2 so I’m right on time, but I always want to do this early because it’s one of my favorite posts. So, without any further ado, let’s hop to it!

Historical Romances with LGB Characters
First of all, I meant to have this post out while we were still in Pride month, but um, 2020 is really getting to me, y’all, so I’m so sorry for the delay. But it’s never a bad time to read books with non-hetero characters. So, I was fortunate enough to receive e-arcs of three…

Uptown Girls: Series Review
I fell in love with The Rogue of Fifth Avenue earlier this year and was beyond thrilled to receive an advanced copy of The Devil of Downtown. And, I loved The Devil of Downtown so much that I (a) ignored my responsibilities for like 45 minutes to just read and while sitting in a very…

Series Review: Bareknuckle Bastards by Sarah MacLean
Before I dive into this, let me first apologize for the fact that y’all have not had either of the two posts I previewed last Thursday (Tuesday?). I’m slumping because my anxiety kicked into overdrive last week and it’s making it difficult to focus. Unfortunately, even prior to that, I was already behind on ARC…

Audible Escape Recommendations Round Four
We have ventured just a little outside of books that I’ve actually read and have entered a mixture. So I will be sure to explain which books I recommend and which books I’ve got on my own TBR or that I think you’ll be interested in, even if I’m not.

June Wrap Up, Part One
I have definitely been reading more slowly this month because the world is on fire and it’s hard to function like normal with everything that’s going on. Plus, work has been really tough since court opened back up more. But I have read some things that I’ve really loved so I’m excited to talk about…

June ARCs Part Two: The Last Train to Key West, 40-Love, and Party of Two
This was an incredibly successful round of ARCs for me, to the extent that I now have physically a copy of 40-Love from Love’s Sweet Arrow, a copy of Party of Two is on preorder from Loyalty Books, and once my next credit is available, I’ll be getting The Last Train to Key West that…

May Wrap Up, Part Two
I’m finally posting the second half of my May wrap up, but I just want to make it clear that Black lives still matter and we need to continue working toward systemic change. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund could always use your money if you have some available and working on change at the local…

June ARCS, Part One: Alpha Night, The Boyfriend Project, and Forbidden Lust
I’m returning to my usual posting schedule, but I hope y’all continue to support the Black Lives Matters movement in some way. I’m continuing to engage in conversations with my family members and coworkers and to continue learning by reading nonfiction books about US history and how to confront my own biases. But this particular…

Black Lives Matter: Learning via Reading & Celebrating Romance by Black Authors
Today was supposed to be my wrap up for the second half of May, but there is no way for me to feel as though I can proceed as normal given the fact that it feels like the United States is finally, maybe, hopefully on the verge of actually doing something about the fact that…
