Best Non-Romance of 2018
I literally read 200 romance books last year, which is wild, but makes sense because 2018 was such a drain on me, mentally, emotionally, physically… You get it. It’s not that it was a bad year for me personally. I got the job I desperately wanted, but it meant moving out to the mountains and

Reflections on Re-Reading
One of my 2018 goals was to re-read more and I set out with a list of books that I wanted to re-read, which I threw out pretty quickly, honestly. But I did achieve my goal and read 55 books! I also learned some things about myself and I went ahead and tried to rank

Best Non-Contemporary Romance of 2018
I think my biggest problem with favorites posts is that I have no idea how to compare PNR romance to historical or contemporary. So I’m going to give you my top favorite PNRs and then my top favorite historicals and together they will number 10. But they’re not being compared to each other. Okay? Okay.

2018 Stats and Goals Reflection

December Wrap Up, Pt. 2
How is it already January 1, 2019? 2018 was a decade long, but somehow the month of December flew by? Are all years like this? I don’t think so, but time is an illusion. Okay, confession: I’m sick and when I’m sick, I get extra melodramatic, which is already like a key component of my

Most Anticipated Books of 2019
I am beyond excited for the books coming in 2019. I’m also hoping this year will be a better year in general, but we’ll focus on the books that I cannot wait for at the moment! I’ve limited myself to only twelve books, but there is a whole host of other books I cannot wait

January TBR
I had to wait until my 2019 Goals posted so that you could appreciate that 2019 is the year I actually stick to my TBRs. They are going to be as flexible as I can make them, but they also have to be strict at the same time. So, let’s get into it! Starting with

2019 Reading Goals
My goals in 2019 are fairly basic. One is to reduce my TBR and I actually have a plan for how to do that! Two is to continue reading diversely and boost my numbers in a few specific areas where I lacked voices from in 2018. Three is to read one nonfiction book each month.

Authors I Need to Read
Given how poorly I did at reading the list of books I set out to in 2018, I decided I would be more realistic for 2019 and not set a specific time limit on authors I really need to read. And then I filled my list of ten with authors of a variety of types
