    Contemporary Romance for when you want to run from your problems…

    Sometimes running from my problems does not involve completely escaping the current world, but instead involves escaping into a contemporary romance so I can give myself hope that even though the world seems awful, it will not stay that way. I am, once again, providing you with a mixed list of authors and books because,

  • September Wrap Up, Pt. 1

    September Wrap Up, Pt. 1

    I’ve entered into a bit of a reading slump, I think, although I suppose that could just be that I was sick for several days. It could also be though that I’ve made myself read books outside of my favorite genres this month, which take me longer and make me less excited to pick up

    #T5W: Books to Read Without the Synopsis

    This week’s Top Five Wednesday topic is Books to Read Without the Synopsis and I’m here giving you all my thoughts on the Top Five books for that. Now, I will note that the topic seemed more geared toward books where I would be likely to say, “It’s best to go into this one blind,”

    Ramona Blue: A Spoiler Free Review

    Let me begin by saying that I love this book and I’m so glad I read it. You may remember that I read the first chapter of Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy for my Try a Chapter Tag and be wondering what the heck took me so long to actually finish it. That’s a great

    Highly Anticipated Books: Fall Edition

    Does Fall technically start on September 21? Yes. Does that matter for purposes of the way anyone thinks of seasons in the United States? No. Not really. Even Starbucks agrees that Fall is September through November (or through Thanksgiving and then we get RED CUPS, which are my favorites). Anyway, so the point of this

    The Guilty Reader Tag

    The Guilty Reader Tag was created by ReadLikeWildfire on YouTube and no one tagged me, but I’m obviously doing this anyway. This tag has been going around BookTube and just looks so fun! I can’t wait to do the tag and for you all to be totally appalled in the comments because I am definitely

    The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld: A Spoiler-Free Review

    I apologize sincerely for the very delayed post. I meant to have this up yesterday, but I had a very busy weekend/Tuesday, which meant I finished the book late on Monday and spent yesterday traveling, which unfortunately meant I didn’t manage to get my review posted on release day. Anyway, enough disclaimers/excuses: TO THE REVIEW!

    A Discussion of the Portrayal of Domestic Violence in Bad Romance

    Guess who has a lot of feelings about a book? Grab yourself a tea or hot chocolate because we’re about to have a deep dive into the world of intimate partner violence.

    August Wrap Up, Pt. 2

    The month of August was a very big reading month for me, which you may have guessed based on the fact that you’ve already seen three wrap ups: August Wrap Up, Pt. 1; 7 in 7 Readathon Wrap Up, and the Graphic Novels Wrap Up. Because of all of the other wrap ups that I’ve
