  • Well Met by Jen DeLuca: A Spoiler Free Review

    Well Met by Jen DeLuca is a Renaissance Faire set rom-com that hits all the right notes. Emily is in a small Maryland (I think) town (that is extraordinarily homogeneous, aka it’s all white people) because her sister, April, was in a bad car accident and needs help getting to appointments and taking care of…

  • Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore: A Spoiler Free Review

    Wow, it feels like it’s been forever since I’ve sat down and written a full book review. The brain power just hasn’t been there. Hopefully it’s been less long for those of you reading this because I would like to get a review posted for The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai before it’s publication date.…

  • Most Anticipated Fall Releases

    Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons, one of which is that I finally get to break out my favorite clothing items: sweaters and boots. Of course, in NC, Fall is still a long time coming, but you know, pumpkin spice lattes are back! (I don’t particularly like them, but it’s one step…

  • Audiobooks: A Discussion of How to Find Them

    I never expected to love audiobooks as much as I do. Last year, they were such a huge part of my reading and it caught me off guard when I did my end of the year stats. So Dani asked me to give my opinion on the different services for audiobooks and that’s what I…

  • August Wrap Up, Part One

    This wrap up is late, but honestly, I’m not even surprised by myself anymore as far as that goes. But, on the bright side, I’m getting it up before the end of the month so I DO have time to squeeze in a non-wrap up post before I’m done, I think.

  • Pairing Songs from Lover with Romance Novels (The Second Nine)

    I’m back with the second half of the album and I’m going to try and be kind to myself so I don’t wind up recommending a million books per song, but that’s to be determined honestly. Anyway, let’s get into it! Death by a Thousand Cuts So this is definitely a break up song, but…

  • Pairing Lover Songs with Romance Novels (The First Nine)

    In case you didn’t know, Taylor Swift is my favorite musician ever and there is nothing I love more than talking about her. So what better thing to do than pair the first half of her latest album (arguably her best, but I’ll throw down for Red and Speak Now too), Lover. Right now my…

  • Trope Talk: Marriage of Convenience

    I kept putting off writing this post because I was determined I was going to read a couple more books with this trope to fully flesh out this post, but I got tired of waiting. So we’re going to talk about five marriage of convenience books today that I would recommend and then a couple…

  • July Wrap Up, Part Two

    I read 31 books in July, which is incredible, if I do say so myself. This is mostly because I spent the #24in48 hour readathon trying to actually finish the books in my currently reading shelf on goodreads that were anywhere from a quarter to half finished. But regardless, that means we do have a…

  • Reading Rush Wrap Up

    This is just a wee bit late, but since I made a specific TBR, I wanted to go ahead and wrap this up anyway. Mostly so y’all can see that I truly am awful at following a TBR. This week involved me listening to a lot of audiobooks so let’s get started.
