    Historical Romance Novels for When You Need to Run From Your Problems

    I told my sister I needed to post something on my blog today, but wasn’t sure what to do and she suggested, “Books that Have Helped You Survive Adulthood.” I laughed because my idea of surviving adulthood is running from my problems so I’m #TheWorst for this one. I told her that it would really…

    7 in 7 Readathon Wrap Up

    I succeeded, y’all! Not so much at reading everything on my TBR because the longer I reflected on what happened in Charlottesville, the more convinced I became that I needed to be reading people of color for this readathon, especially women of color. I mostly succeeded, with the exception of sneaking in a graphic novel…

  • Re-read, Re-write, or Burn

    Do I get all of my ideas for blog posts from BookTube? Yes. Yes, I do. But this game looked like so much fun and I don’t have camera equipment or the desire to learn to edit videos so we’re going to play Re-read, Re-write, or Burn. Now, I’m not sure whose video I saw…

    Knitting, Beards, and Tennessee: What I Almost Missed by Not Reading Penny Reid

    I think the first time I came across Penny Reid’s name was in this Smart Bitches Trashy Books post in which Truth or Beard was on sale. I read the synopsis and looked at the cover and thought, “Cute cover. That could be good, but I don’t like facial hair.” SO I SKIPPED THE BOOK.…
