  • November Wrap Up, Part One

    I am still participating in NaNoWriMo, never mind that I haven’t written in several days, but I’ve also been making good progress on my Nonfiction November challenge and also I’ve maybe (definitely) read some books not on my TBR at all. So let’s talk about those, shall we?

  • Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert Spoiler Free Review

    Alright, y’all, another romance novel with a cartoon cover, which means some of us have questions. I’m going to try and address those first: 1) Yes, this is absolutely a romance. It has a central love story, that truly is the main focus of the book, and an HEA. 2) Steam Factor: Explicit on page sex, no

  • October Wrap Up, Part Two

    Another month of me saying, “OMG WHERE DID THE TIME GO?” But for real, Halloween snuck up on me. But now it’s basically Christmas so hopefully I won’t say that at the end of November. Also, if I’m scarce on here, blame NaNoWriMo, which I’m going to try again. Is my novel fully plotted? Lol,

  • Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon

    In shocking news, I did manage to start reading at exactly 8 am yesterday and started with One True Pairing by Cathy Yardley. I went to bed at midnight though so in addition to the eight hours I lost right there, I probably lost about 2 or 3 hours throughout the day as well. But

  • Contemporary Romance Comfort Reads

    I think there are a couple of kinds of comfort reads and this series of [insert subgenre of romance] novels to run from your problems has mostly leaned toward the not angsty, but they’re likely going to start being a bit of a mix of the less angsty and the angsty that felt like they

  • Nonfiction November TBR

    I know I’m not great at TBRs, but I did manage my ContemporaryAThon one successfully recently and I did okay at my Latinx Heritage Month goals. I wasn’t perfect, but I didn’t do terribly. So I’m trying to take that successful completion of TBRs energy with me into November because I have a lot of

  • ARC Reviews: Twice in a Blue Moon and Lush Money

    I don’t know what’s been going on with my Netgalley blessings, but let’s not question it and instead thank Netgalley, Gallery Books, and Carina Press for the opportunity to read Twice in a Blue Moon and Lush Money in advance of their release. I was hoping to have these ARC reviews posted last Tuesday, just

  • The End of the Year Book Tag

    Hi, it’s October somehow and I am concerned with how time works. I will never understand how a year can feel like a million years and yet fly by at the same time. Regardless, I decided to do the End of the Year Book Tag again. If I can find my old ones, I’ll link

  • Third Quarter Favorites

    Can you believe we’re already in the final three months of the year? This year has somehow felt like it’s been 20 million years long and also like, I cannot believe it’s about to be 2020??? That’s not real life. But anyway, I’m writing today to tell you about my top ten of the last
