  • 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

    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…

    August TBR

    I gave up on TBRs a while ago, but I have decided that I’m making it a goal to read five physical books from my TBR and a special book to celebrate Women in Translation Month. So, this TBR is happening, y’all. I insist. 1. Leah on the Offbeatby Becky Albertalli Look, I have no…

  • #SmutAThon Wrap Up

    #SmutAThon Wrap Up

    Day One: July 9, 2018 I left for Raleigh straight from court today and I should have used my drive to start listening to Firelight, but instead I couldn’t resist listening to more of Bonds of Justice because Nalini Singh owns my soul. Or something. The eighth book in the Psy-Changling series, this book follows…

    July Wrap Up, Part One

    I’m not sure how it happened, but I’ve read more books in the beginning of this month than I have in the past two and more pages. Fortunately, some of these books, I’ll be reviewing in a separate post for the SmutAThon Wrap Up. I opted against doing a Tome Topple Wrap Up, but will…

    Mid-Year Check In

    At the beginning of the year, I had some incredibly lofty goals so now is the time to check in and see if I’m on track to meet any of them! I’ve read about 125 books this year, subtracting some short stories in the Guild Hunters series that are on Goodreads, but are very, very…

    #SmutAThon TBR

    If you’re wondering why I’m starting a Readathon in the middle of another Readathon (Tome Topple), that is a completely legitimate question and I don’t really have an answer other than, how was I supposed to resist this romance themed readathon? Beginning July 9th and lasting through the 15th, the SmutAThon has seven challenges and…

    Best Books of the Year (So Far)

    We are halfway through 2018! I’m not sure how this trash fire year is going to end, but in the interest of remaining sane enough to continue writing angry, but well thought out emails to my Congressmen (because ofc they’re all men), I’m choosing to focus on the positives! I’ve read 130 books, including novellas…
