    There are some incredible books coming out in March-May, which is why this list of ten has an honorable mentions list of eleven. I can’t help myself, okay? And the most ridiculous part is that I tried to make a rule that I would only include books I want to pre-order and well… That’s basically

    March TBR

    Well, y’all, first of all, just know that I failed pretty miserably at my February TBR so this project isn’t necessarily working out, but fingers crossed I can keep it together enough to reduce my TBR significantly even if not by the amount I was hoping for! I do plan on participating in the BuzzwordAThon

    Favorite Quotes – January

    I’m trying something very new with this… I’m not sure how it’s going to go, so leave me any feedback you’d like! I’m doing this because I liked the spread I put in my BuJo even though it’s basic and boring, but I thought I’d try a more visual format here… We’ll see how it

    Trope Talk: Hate to Love

    Wow, has it been a while since I’ve done a trope talk! I think it’s because if I was making a pattern this post should be a list of books I liked with a trope I hate, but, um… So aside from second chance romance, I genuinely dislike accidental pregnancy stories and that is usually

    February TBR

    Well, I managed to stick to my TBR in January, for the most part, so here’s hoping February goes as well! This month is, of course, Black History Month, and while I think we should all read books by Black authors year round, there are some books by Black authors languishing on my TBR (because

    January Wrap Up, Part One

    It’s somehow mid-January and honestly, I don’t understand how time works. Last week was so long I genuinely thought two weeks had gone by and yet I’m still amazed that we’re already fifteen days into the new year. Every time I make a meal in my instant pot, I’m like, “Wow, I’m doing so great
