    September Wrap Up and October TBR

    September was a weird month. It was my birthday month, but, well. It proved to be a month of testing me. I had a great long weekend away with my best friend and her fiancée in San Diego/LA where we saw Usher (!!!) and just got to spend time together. Otherwise, my life was a

    Speculative Romance ARC Reviews: Hot Hex Boyfriend, The Spark of the Everflame, and The Mirror

    This is such a solid group of three books that I would highly recommend, so that’s really exciting. You can already pick up Hot Hex Boyfriend by Carly Bloom and The Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole, but The Mirror by Nora Roberts doesn’t come out for another month. That said, if you haven’t

    Contemporary Romance ARC Reviews: The Fiancé Dilemma, Morbidly Yours, and Not Another Love Song

    I’m trying to get this review post up before the internet goes out again, but honestly, I can’t blame the lateness of these reviews on Hurricane Helene. I’ve been supposed to write these reviews and post them since early September when I finished the third book for this. Oops. Anyway, let’s dive in real quick,

    Reading Christmas Romances Early so You Know What to Pick Up or Something

    Listen, publishers do publish Christmas romances a bit early (read, way too early if they want you to read it upon release), but as we all know, I’m generally not the one to read an ARC early so why does it matter? Well, for once, my friends, I have three timely (even one very early!)

    August Wrap Up and September TBR

    I participated in a readathon this month called Pick Pong-A-Thon hosted by Krystal and had a lot of fun trying to fulfill my team’s prompts. I probably could have pushed myself harder, but ultimately my goal was to complete 19 prompts (the ten team prompts and the nine bonus prompts) and by the skin of

    Most Anticipated Fall Releases (Sept – Nov)

    First of all, to say that I’m excited that it’s Fall time is a dramatic overstatement, especially considering I pulled out my pumpkin decor in my office at the end of July. I’ve already completed a Halloween themed diamond painting. Like, I am ready for Fall. And part of that excitement includes being excited for
