My 2019 OTPs
2019 was a great year for romance and there were a lot of couples I fell head over heels for. So I’m really excited that today’s topic for Top 10 of 2019, hosted by Kimberly and Ginger, is about listing ten of our new OTPs. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, OTP stands for one…

Cover Love
Continuing with the Top 10 of 2019, hosted by Kimberly and Ginger, today’s topic is your favorite covers. I limited myself to books that I’ve read, even though I think a few of the ones I haven’t read have incredible covers and while I tried to keep it to only 2019 books, I’m so in…

Captivating Characters
I’m really excited to get to write about my favorite characters from this year and also overwhelmed that I am supposed to only list for you ten??? Is it cheating if I give you separate lists of favorite heroines, favorite heroes, and favorite non-binary characters? Okay, fine, I’ll be good and obey the rules of…

New to Me Authors I’ve Discovered and Loved in 2019
I’ve tried 81 new to me authors this year, which seems like a lot. I’m writing this on December 7th, so I’m not sure if that number will go up or not by the end of the year, but I really want to write this post regardless. This is one of the topics covered by…

Books I Wish I’d Gotten to in 2019
To those that celebrate: Merry Christmas!! I love Christmas and I love that this is the start of our Top 10 in 2019 prompts from Kimberly and Ginger. This is serving as my Most Anticipated Books of the Year Wrap Up as well because in truth, that’s what all of these books are from. There…

The Map from Here to There: A Spoiler Free Review
I usually sit down to write a review soon after having finished reading a book, but pretty much everything about my usual for The Map from Here to There was thrown off. I read the book in small sips, dipping in and out, thinking about it and trying not to when I wasn’t reading it. My love…

December Wrap Up, Part One
Until I sat down to figure out what books I’d read this month, I would have told you I was having a slumpy month and haven’t really read that much. If I had told you that, I would have been lying. I apparently read fifteen books in the first fifteen days of the month, so…

Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn: A Spoiler Free Review
Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn is unsurprisingly utterly brilliant. Last year, Beginner’s Luck was a last minute addition to my favorite books of the year list and Love Lettering, which is out on December 31st could very well make a lot of people’s list if they spend NYE reading it. I know it’s certainly on…

2020 Reading Goals
I’ve had a fair amount of discussion with a man who works at my local Indie about why we read because the reason is decidedly not the same for the two of us. For me, I read for my own personal enjoyment and I have to push myself out of my romance comfort bubble occasionally…

The Ones Who Got Away: Series Review
School shootings in America are abhorrent and awful and they’ve also affected a huge number of people in ways that our society still doesn’t quite seem ready to reckon with. But Roni Loren is “hunting big game” as Jen and Sarah would say (see Fated Mates, season two). Her The Ones Who Got Away series…
