    Book Recommendations: Capricorn Edition

    So I wanted to create something that I could do every month this year and hadn’t really settled into anything when I was watching this Get Ready With Me video wherein Kayln Nicholson announced that she’s going to do a GRWM every month based on astrological signs and I decided it was perfect! (As an

    January Wrap Up, Pt. 1

    So far this month I have completed 0/5 of my TBR books so doing well on that, obviously. But! I have re-read an entire book and I’m almost through another re-read, they just aren’t ones that were on my list of books to re-read in 2018, but oh well! That said, I’ve read nine books

    Series To Finish Or Get Caught Up On in 2018

    I didn’t realize that I was a person with a lot of series in progress until I started making this post. Since I know it’s likely to get worse (you’ll see), I thought I would make a post for my sake about the series that I need to finish or get caught up on in

    Audiobooks of 2017

    I discovered a love for audiobooks in 2017 and while I didn’t read a ton, I did read sixteen in full and I DNF’d a few more, so I thought I would tell you my thoughts about some of them! My favorites have been gushed about in other posts so I’m just going to mention

  • Best Misc. Genre Books of 2017

    I hope you aren’t tired of my favorite books of 2017 lists, but this is the last one, so if you are, no worries! This post only covers seven books so it’s a bit smaller than the others. It covers my favorite fantasy novels, Nonfiction, and Adult reads. I really loved all of these books

  • 18 Backlist Books to Read in 2018

    I’m trying to curb my TBR in 2018, which should be easy enough except for the part where I own a lot of books that I’m like, “I really need to read this!” but they aren’t romance novels or YA so they’ve been languishing on my shelf. Literary fiction and adult fiction are ones that

    Best Romance Novels of 2017

    Oh y’all, this list is so hard to compile and I could have split it into Best Contemporary; Best Historical; Best Misc. but I didn’t want to exhaust you too much. That said, I am going to provide the best of each subgenre in my opinion beginning with Best Contemporary because that’s what my actual
