  • 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…

  • October Wrap Up, Part One

    In contrast to September, October has started off with a bang as far as reading is concerned and there have been some absolutely incredible reads that I’m super excited to talk about so let’s get into it. Also, I read a lot in the first 14 days of the month, so bear with me or…

  • 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…

  • September Wrap Up

    My birthday month was probably the most slumpy I’ve ever felt. If not for audiobooks, I would have read only four books the entire month. I’m not really sure what was going on with me, but reading just wasn’t holding my attention. I started and got fairly far through a ridiculous number of books, but…

  • ContemporaryAThon Wrap Up

    I actually managed to follow a tbr. Who even am I? I’m honestly so proud of myself, it’s obnoxious. But, in case you skipped that post because you knew it was unlikely I’d follow it or if you just want to know my thoughts, let’s hop into it.

  • The Write Escape and Royal Holiday ARC Reviews

    I was fortunate enough to receive advanced copies of The Write Escape by Charish Reid and Royal Holiday by Jasmine Guillory and instead of writing two separate reviews, I thought I would thank Dani for not only sending me her advanced copy of Royal Holiday, but also the idea to just do an ARC round…

  • Contemporary-A-Thon TBR

    This is Round Five of the ContemporaryAThon, hosted by Chelsea from chelseadolling reads, Julie from pagesandpen, Natasha from myreadingisodd, and Melanie from meltotheany. I think I’ve participated in every round of this readathon and this year, since it falls within Latinx Heritage Month, I’m going to try to tailor this TBR to maximize reads from…

  • Audiobooks: How to Get Into Them

    As I said in my first post about where to find audiobooks, I was not always an audiobook reader. I didn’t think I could absorb books in the same way if I was listening to them as opposed to reading them with my eyeballs. And yet, last year I listened to 70 books. So how…
