  • 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.

  • NEWTS TBR

    Because Gia from Book Roast is absolutely incredible, the Magical Readathon happens twice a year and the second time around, it’s to do your NEWTS. You can only test in the subjects you got an OWL in if you’re properly following the rules, which I am. This year, there’s also a thing for what profession

  • #24in48 Wrap Up

    I love participating in readathons even though I’m good at them like one time out of three. This one is a particular favorite though because there are no challenges. It’s just read as much as you can in a weekend and that’s basically my ideal way to spend a weekend! That said, I gave myself

  • July Wrap Up, Part One

    I used to be so good about getting these things up on time and now I’m just a hot mess. I’d apologize, but I feel like it would be disingenuous because there’s such a slim chance I’ll be fixing this particular flaw. Anyway, let’s hop to it. Hot Target by Suzanne Brockmann This one was
