    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.

    20 Books to Re-Read in 2018

    Hello, my name is Jenica and I own too many books to not re-read them. So, in 2018 I have made myself a TBR jar specifically for books that I’m re-reading, which you may know because I’ve already pulled the first one when I made my January TBR. Haven’t started it yet though because I’m…

    Best YA Contemporary of 2017

    Okay, so best YA Contemporary is a little subjective and is my best contemporary reads of 2017 for YA and you’ve been a little spoiled if you follow me on Twitter for several of these. That said, I hope you enjoy my list of favorite YA Contemporaries that I read in 2017! 1. The Upside…

  • December Wrap Up, Part Two

    December Wrap Up, Part Two

    In comparison to the first half of the month, the second half of December was absolutely awful. I’m in the middle of several books at the moment, so the first half of January is likely to be similar. I was trying to finish them up, but blogging takes a lot of time and I have…

    January TBR

    We’re trying something new in 2018, y’all, and I hope it works, but I am a little nervous about it. In an attempt to tackle my owned TBR and the books that I’m more reluctant to pick up, I made a TBR jar of my owned non-fiction books and one of my literary fiction/books that…

  • 2017 End of Year Reading Survey

    I saw this on Kayla’s channel, aka BooksandLala, and it seems like such a good way to start wrapping up the year before I bombard you with all of my favorites of the year. There are going to be three separate posts about that… Sorry not sorry. Anyway, Kayla pulled these from The Perpetual Page…

    2018 Reading Goals

    I’ve been thinking a lot about my goals for my reading in 2018. I’m not necessarily someone who likes to set a ton of New Years Resolutions because I mostly don’t keep them, but I think it’s important to critically evaluate the reading I’m doing to make sure I’m spending my time reading in a…
