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

Trope Talk: Friends to Lovers, Part Two
As I said in Part One, friends to lovers is absolutely one of my favorite tropes and this time around, I’m talking about the friends to lovers novels where one person has been in love with the other one for a while, but for whatever reason thinks they can never be anything. 1) Scoring Off

Book Tag: Out of My Comfort Zone
Emma from emmmabooks created this tag and it seemed really fun so… Here we are! To begin, Emma says you have to create a rule for yourself that you’re going to eliminate a genre/category that you talk about the most to challenge yourself to reach for books outside of your usual. So, obviously, I have

September Wrap Up, Part One
September is already half over? How is this possible? On the bright side, my birthday is twelve days away! My sister actually already gave me my birthday gift of two books I picked out while I was home over Labor Day so I’m the proud owner of The Nightingaleby Kristen Hannah (finally) and A Secret

Contemporary-A-Thon TBR
I really enjoy participating in ContemporaryAThon even though my work kind of gets in the way of me reading seven books in seven days a lot of times. If you aren’t aware, Natasha from myreadingisodd, Chelsea from chelseadollingreads, and Julie from pagesandpens host this readathon. This particular round is from September 17th-23rd and there are
