ARC Reviews: The MASH Up, Destination Funeral, and One for the Road
Y’all, these three books delivered a lot of fun, a lot of melancholy, and a lot of self-reflection somehow. I think all three of these books are pretty fantastic and I would absolutely recommend. The MASH Up is Laura Marie Meyer’s debut and if this is where she’s starting, I can’t wait to see where…

2026 ARC Reviews: Scandal of the Summer, In Stormy Weather, and Riding the Line
As per usual, I am so behind on reviewing my ARC copies so also as per usual, you can already pick these books up if you’re interested in any of them! Today I’ll be reviewing Scandal of the Summer by Alexandra Vasti, In Stormy Weather by Chelsea Curto, and Riding the Line by Emma Lucy.…

ARC Reviews: Blood Bound, Sea of Charms, and The Grump Whisperer
I am so excited to tell you about four books today! If you’re looking at the image and the title, you’re probably confused about how we’re getting to four, but I also DNF’d an ARC, unfortunately. So the books we’ll be discussing today are Blood Bound by Ellis Hunter, a romantasy, Sea of Charms by…

Catch Up ARC Reviews: Going Bicoastal, Honey, and Total Dreamboat
I’ve decided I need to get serious about tackling my backlist ARCs. I lasted on this project for approximately 10 days and have since derailed myself and have been reading pretty random books, mostly new ones. Hopefully writing these reviews will get me excited about my project again. Let us all cross our fingers. Anyway,…

May Wrap Up
Listen, I don’t really know what happened in May, but I read too many books. I also did a lot of rereading. So I’m going to try and get through this post in a quick and timely manner, but let us all pray that whatever was going on with me in May chills out in…

2026 ARC Reviews: Chaos, Out of Her League, and The Summer of Lost Things
Alright y’all, we’ve got some good books to talk about today! Each of these books (Chaos by EJ Blaise, Out of Her League by Ava Rani, and The Summer of Lost Things by Jenn Bennett) released in May, with one caveat. Technically, Chaos came out last year, but it released in audio this year so…

Celebrating Queer Joy: ARC Reviews of After Hours at Dooryard Books, Star Shipped, and The House of Now and Then
Considering how much I’ve already raved about After Hours at Dooryard Books and Star Shipped to anyone who would listen, it is really strange to just now be sitting down to write full reviews of each of the books to share with y’all. I’ve already talked about them in my April Wrap Up and my…

Tier Ranking the 2026 Releases I Read from January – April
These posts are probably my favorites of the year, but they’re also a lot of work so yay for being here! We’re going with Taylor Swift tiers as per usual, so we’ve got The Alchemy as our top most tier, not because it’s my favorite song but because it encompasses the idea of loving a…

ARC Reviews: Stranger Things Have Happened, An Ordinary Sort of Evil, and Dolly All the Time
I have been so fortunate with the ARCs I’ve had access to lately and these three were all winners! Stranger Things Have Happened was my second book by Kasie West and solidified that she’s going to be an auto-read author from me because I am truly vibing with her writing style. An Ordinary Sort of…

Catch Up ARC Reviews: Waiting for Friday Night, We Met Like This, and Some Kind of Famous
I think I’ve been pretty up front that I am the world’s worst at getting books read in a timely fashion, but I do still try and read and review them! This is part of why I don’t write full reviews of every book I read so I still feel like I’m giving these books…
