    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…

    June Wrap Up, Part Two

    The fact that we’re halfway through the year is legitimately baffling to me. I feel like I’ve made so little progress in a couple of my reading goals, but I’ll be doing a mid-year check in soon so I won’t bore you with those thoughts at present. For now, let’s talk about the final six…

    Tome Topple Readathon TBR

    Oh, I am so excited it’s time for the Tome Topple Readathon! Round Six begins at midnight on June 29 and goes through July 12th. There are a lot of Readathons coming up, but Tome Topple has a special place in my heart because I adore long books and sinking into them. I read really…

    June Wrap Up, Part One

    June has not involved quite as much reading published books as normal. Instead, I have re-read two of my favorite absurdly long fanfics (including The Debt of Time) and eight books. On second thought, maybe that is a lot. Whatever. Anyways, let’s hop to it. 1. Archangel’s Viperby Nalini Singh Hello, yes, I am caught…

    Mid Year Freak Out Tag

    It’s already June 22, 2018. What is happening? The world is moving too fast and I feel continuously overwhelmed. I apologize my blogging hasn’t been more consistent, but I am trying! Anyway, here’s the Mid-Year Freak Out Tag that’s going around on Booktube. IsThatChami created the tag with Earl Grey Books nearly two years ago.…

    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. If you’re thinking, “Uh, Jenica, didn’t you just read that last month?” the answer is yes. Yes, I did re-read three books less than a month after reading them for…
