    Highly Anticipated: Winter Edition

    I really should switch to doing these January to March and so forth, but who wants to do that? Regardless, there’s only one book on here for December, but it’s one I am extremely excited about! So let’s hop to it. Dance All Nightby Alexis Daria Daria’s Dance Off series has produced two five star…

  • November Wrap Up, Part 2

    November Wrap Up, Part 2

    I read one of my favorite books of the entire year in the second half of November! I’m also halfway through Becoming by Michelle Obama on audio and I’m loving it. Just throwing that out there. I’m way too slow at listening to nonfiction (or reading it) and will interrupt a book to listen to…

    November Wrap Up, Part One

    Blogging is a struggle at the moment and I definitely apologize for the repeated delays. I read nine books in the first fifteen days of November and I’m going to talk about them finally! 1. The Hook Upby Kristin Callihan Sports romance day over at #RomBkLove on Twitter sold me on this book and I…

    Contemporary Romance for Running from Your Problems (Again)

    2018 has really been the year of Contemporary Romance for me. I think technically paranormal is beating it numbers wise, but that’s because I keep re-reading the paranormals I discovered this year and loved. Anyway, that means I’ve already got another list of ten contemporary romance novels to escape into when the world is just…

    October Wrap Up

    So… My apologies for disappearing for… a while. I didn’t mean to really and I don’t have a good reason for it. I was super slumpy in the first half of the month as you’ll see. Regardless, we’re just going to do a full month wrap up! Some of these are going to be super…

    How the Dukes Stole Christmas: A Spoiler Free Review

    I really enjoyed reading How the Dukes Stole Christmas, a short story collection of stories by Tessa Dare, Sarah MacLean, Sophie Jordan, and Joanna Shupe and I’m so grateful the authors gave me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I think reading How the Dukes Stole Christmas around Christmas would be such…

    Checking in with my TBR

    Y’all… The first step in a 12 step program is to admit you have a problem, right? So, I have a problem with acquiring books and then not reading them for MONTHS and sometimes YEARS. Now, what exactly is step two? I’m unsure, but I thought I would borrow from Emma at drinkingbymyshelf’s Balancing the…

    Best Books of the Year (So Far)

    This has been quite the fun project for me, but I’m not going to lie, at this point, I’m utterly overwhelmed by the amount of books I’ve read and trying to pick only ten favorites. I’m nearly at 200 already, which is an absurd amount honestly, but reading is my number one coping strategy and…

    September Wrap Up, Part Two

    My birthday month is over, though it feels weird to say that since it’s also now my birthday week. The struggles of having your birthday fall on a Sunday and the last day of the month. I read quite a few books in September though, so I guess we’d best get started! I think I’ve…

    ContemporaryAThon Wrap Up

    Day One: Monday, September 17, 2018 So I wound up not having to drive an hour and a half to court today and instead would up only driving about an hour round trip. I did spend most of that time listening to The Poet X, but I’ve discovered that I can’t listen to it on…
