  • 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…

  • July ARCs, Part Two: Boyfriend Material, One to Watch, and A Sweet Mess

    I’m a little behind as per usual lately with my ARC reviews, but the review for A Sweet Mess by Jayci Lee is exactly on time! So you can officially pick up any or all of these books if they sound like something you may like. One, possibly two, of these books are new favorites…

  • Favorite Books of April, May, and June

    I read 65 books in the last three months, which is a little less than in the first quarter of the year. Given the way 2020 is going, I don’t think that should come as much of a surprise. Speaking of the way that 2020 is going, just a quick reminder that Black Lives Matter…

  • When Old Meets New: The Secret and Wanna Bet?

    If you’ve been following along with this project on mine and Dani’s respective blogs, you may recall that we tried to read To All the Roses last time and both of us DNF’d the book. So, as you can imagine, my expectations weren’t super high going into The Secret and I was really nervous I…

  • June Wrap Up, Part Two

    June was quite a month and one I’m not sad to see in the rearview mirror. I read 19 books total during June, DNF’d one, and am most of the way through More Myself by Alicia Keys. I probably should have just made myself finish More Myself if we’re being honest. Anyway, it was a…

  • 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…
