2019 Surprises & Disappointments
2019 delivered a lot to the world, both good and bad. For me, in my reading life, I read a lot and there were some books that caught me off guard by how much I loved them and books that I thought I would love that just really disappointed me. I wanted to share a

2019 in Review
I’m pulling prompts for this from a whole bunch of places, which is a little annoying because I swear a couple years ago, I had a specific person’s blog post that I based my post off of, but whatever. Here we are, my post where I give you more statistics than you probably care to

My 2019 OTPs
2019 was a great year for romance and there were a lot of couples I fell head over heels for. So I’m really excited that today’s topic for Top 10 of 2019, hosted by Kimberly and Ginger, is about listing ten of our new OTPs. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, OTP stands for one

2020 Reading Goals

The Ones Who Got Away: Series Review
School shootings in America are abhorrent and awful and they’ve also affected a huge number of people in ways that our society still doesn’t quite seem ready to reckon with.

When Old Meets New: A New Reading Project
The best thing about starting a blog, for me, was the fact that it introduced me to Dani, a fellow blogger and a true friend. We roomed together in Chicago for Kiss Con and it was amazing to discover that our electronically based friendship translates just fine to IRL. Our reading tastes frequently overlap, but
