Captivating Characters
I’m really excited to get to write about my favorite characters from this year and also overwhelmed that I am supposed to only list for you ten??? Is it cheating if I give you separate lists of favorite heroines, favorite heroes, and favorite non-binary characters? Okay, fine, I’ll be good and obey the rules of…

New to Me Authors I’ve Discovered and Loved in 2019
I’ve tried 81 new to me authors this year, which seems like a lot. I’m writing this on December 7th, so I’m not sure if that number will go up or not by the end of the year, but I really want to write this post regardless. This is one of the topics covered by…

2020 Reading Goals
I’ve had a fair amount of discussion with a man who works at my local Indie about why we read because the reason is decidedly not the same for the two of us. For me, I read for my own personal enjoyment and I have to push myself out of my romance comfort bubble occasionally…

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. But Roni Loren is “hunting big game” as Jen and Sarah would say (see Fated Mates, season two). Her The Ones Who Got Away series…

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.

Contemporary Romance Comfort Reads
I think there are a couple of kinds of comfort reads and this series of [insert subgenre of romance] novels to run from your problems has mostly leaned toward the not angsty, but they’re likely going to start being a bit of a mix of the less angsty and the angsty that felt like they…

The End of the Year Book Tag
Hi, it’s October somehow and I am concerned with how time works. I will never understand how a year can feel like a million years and yet fly by at the same time. Regardless, I decided to do the End of the Year Book Tag again. If I can find my old ones, I’ll link…

Third Quarter Favorites
Can you believe we’re already in the final three months of the year? This year has somehow felt like it’s been 20 million years long and also like, I cannot believe it’s about to be 2020??? That’s not real life. But anyway, I’m writing today to tell you about my top ten of the last…

Audiobooks: How to Get Into Them
As I said in my first post about where to find audiobooks, I was not always an audiobook reader. I didn’t think I could absorb books in the same way if I was listening to them as opposed to reading them with my eyeballs. And yet, last year I listened to 70 books. So how…
