    2025 Most Anticipated Releases: Jan – June

    There are so many 2025 books that I have written down and saved as want to read on Goodreads. Honestly, there are just so many books to read! I wish I had both the will and the time to read literally non-stop until I manage to read every book on my TBR. Since that’s not

    The Ten Books I Meant to Read in 2024

    I’m focusing here on 2024 releases that I meant to read in 2024 for the most part, except for the one place where I cheat. I would really love to be able to read some of these before the end of the year, but I’m not optimistic I’ll be able to manage that. However, I

    November Wrap Up & December TBR

    After a truly exhausting November, dotted with three excellent weekends spent with family, we have arrived at the last month of the year. And, specifically, as I’m writing this, the last two Eras Tour shows are tonight and tomorrow. To say that I am experiencing melancholia the likes of which I’ve never known feels like

    #SnowInLoveBingo Announcement & TBR

    Putting together this seasonal bingo truly feels like a labor of love sometimes more than others. I’ve been in such a weird headspace, which I think I’ve hammered home in my last several posts, that finding the ability to think creatively has been a challenge and I know that’s true for my sister as well,

    Sports Romance ARCs: Played, Love and Sportsball, and Holding the Reins

    I read three sports romances or at least, that’s how we’re categorizing all three of these books. Played by Naima Simone is available via Kindle Unlimited if you’re interested in reading it and I believe it also gives you access to the audiobook with your borrow. I did read it that way as opposed to

    #FallInLoveBingo Wrap Up

    I finished up #FallInLoveBingo in October and I really loved it. I had a loose goal that I would try and do it twice just because of how much I loved this board, but, well, that wasn’t really working out so well. I’ll probably include a couple of my double ups through here though just

    Contemporary Romance ARC Reviews: Do Me a Favor, The Next Best Fling, and Catch and Keep

    I had the opportunity to read three contemporary romance books early and I read exactly one via the eARC provided by Netgalley. Who is surprised? Anyway, the good news is, you also can access all three of the books I’m going to review today. First up is Do Me a Favor by Cathy Yardley, which

    Backlist ARC Reviews: A Castle in the Air, Making Up, and All the Best Nights

    We all know how awful I am at a timely review of a book anyway, but like… Y’all, Making Up is an ARC I’ve had since 2018. So… Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy reading about these books that I enjoyed, especially if you haven’t picked them up yourself yet! I do just want to say

  • October Wrap Up & November TBR

    October Wrap Up & November TBR

    Where to even begin? First, this post is really late. My October was super busy. Not just because of work being stressful, which I’ve talked about in other posts, but also because of fun things. Two of my friends got married (not to one another, so two separate ceremonies on two different weekends) and I

    Q3 Favorite Books: July, August, & September

    Delighted to tell you about my ten favorite books with only cheating a little bit a couple of times in combining books from a series that I read in the last three months. I know I normally have so much more to say in an intro paragraph, but honestly, I’m so behind in getting posts
