  • 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

  • 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

  • May Wrap Up, Part One

    Who let time speed up like this? Although, I guess I do prefer the fact that a week doesn’t feel like two years, unlike March. As far as reading goes, I’m feeling a little slumpy again. So don’t be surprised to find a few comfort rereads in this list. My favorite read of the month

  • Consortium Rebellion Series Review

    If you haven’t heard of the Consortium Rebellion series by Jessie Mihalik, please allow me the opportunity to tell you about one of my favorite series.
