    Ripped Bodice Bingo TBR

    If you aren’t aware, The Ripped Bodice (aka heaven on earth) is an all-romance bookstore just outside of LA, which is pretty much the only reason to go there, as far as I’m concerned. Anyway, they are hosting a summer reading challenge, via a BINGO board (which they also did last summer). I’m extremely excited

    May Wrap Up, Part Two

    Hello, friends! May has been the month of Nalini Singh, with a couple others sprinkled in, and… a re-read of Ilona Andrews Hidden Legacy series.

    Highly Anticipated: Summer Edition

    Hi, hello, it is summer. I don’t care if it’s not technically summer because MDW is over and also, I’m living in an apartment with no air conditioning and it’s obnoxiously sweaty over here. So anyway, let’s hop to the books I’m currently highly anticipating! 1. The Kiss Quotientby Helen Hoang I’m obnoxiously excited for

    April Wrap Up, Pt. 2

    April was a good reading month for me and the second half of April introduced me to my new favorite romance novel/series, possibly ever. If you’ve been here for a while, you’re probably confused because how on earth could I love a series more than the Forbidden Hearts series by Alisha Rai? I know! I

    After the Wedding: A Spoiler Free Review

    I was going to write this review on Sunday, but the words just wouldn’t come because I was too busy wondering where the third book in the series is going to go. So of course, this led me to Courtney Milan’s website, which led to me re-reading the excerpt for Find Me she has posted,

    (More) Contemporary Romance to Run from Your Problems

    Sometimes adulthood really is the worst. But then I remember that I can pretty much do whatever I want without having to ask for permission and things seem a little better (until I get the bill for whatever it is I decided to do, anyway). So, as always, when the going gets tough and I’m

    Favorite Books of 2018 (so far)

    We’re one quarter of the way through this year! We’ve survived so much in the year of Beyoncé 2018 and in a few short months, I’ll be seeing Taylor Swift perform Reputation live. I thought that a very fun thing to do this year would be to talk about my favorite books and see how
