    Latinx Book Bingo TBR

    Another Bingo challenge begins on September 15th and lasts until October 15th! This time it’s Latinx Book Bingo to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, though I think Latinx Book Bingo intends to encompass more than just Spanish speaking humans and I know it intends to focus on Intersectionality. Here is the link to the Latinx Book

    Trope Talk: Friends to Lovers

    Friends to lovers is one of my absolute favorite tropes and one that I love in most, if not all, of it’s forms. Since the last (and first) Trope Talk I did was on one of my least favorite tropes, Second Chance Romance, I thought I would talk about the estranged friends finding their way

    Ripped Bodice Bingo Wrap Up

    Well, in what should surprise no one if you’ve followed along with my wrap ups, my summer of Nalini Singh binging did not lead to me completing the board, but honestly it’s impressive how many I managed to slot in. Interestingly there was only one new to me non-Nalini Singh even though I definitely had

    Most Anticipated: Fall Edition

    Fall doesn’t start, technically, until September 21st, but listen, it’s my birthday month, I’ve got matte black nails, and Starbucks already started PSL season. Also I just bought a sweater at Target even though I live in North Carolina so I’ve got a good month and a half before the weather cooperates even mildly with

  • August Wrap Up, Part Two

    August Wrap Up, Part Two

    And to cap off the month, here we have the final books I read in the month! This post is actually much longer than Part One because I finally forced myself to stop re-reading Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series (although, I did read the latest release, Ocean Light and I just want to say that it

    Try a Chapter: Blue Romance Novels Edition

    I don’t know why I have five romance novels with blue spines, but I do, so I thought, why not make a ridiculous Try a Chapter post about them? I am really excited to read each of these books, but have been in this weird mood that has me not reaching for anything because I

  • September TBR

    September TBR

    Just to check in, last month I put six books on my TBR and read two out of the six. So that’s terrible. But I really am trying to reduce my TBR because it’s overwhelming. I finally made a spreadsheet and I have over 200 books I haven’t read. First of all, how? Second of

    August Wrap Up, Part One

    Whoops. This post is a lot late. My bad. I’ve been doing awful at sticking to a blogging schedule, but I swear I am trying! August was pretty busy for me though, so that didn’t really happen. And I’m still working on my Psy-Changeling series review post, so that’s seven books in the first half

    Books I Love with Tropes I Hate: Second Chance

    Tropes in romance novels are honestly some of my favorite things. If there was enough time in the world, I would like to devour every single book with a fake relationship because it is the greatest trope in the history of the world. But there are some tropes that I just really don’t like. That

  • July Wrap Up, Part Two

    July Wrap Up, Part Two

    I read an inordinate amount of books this month and I’m honestly not even sure how? Because of that, this Wrap Up is going to be a little bit different in that I’ve chosen not to review each book of the Psy-Changeling series by Nalini Singh I read because I’m going to be making an
