  • Authors I Need to Read

    Authors I Need to Read

    Given how poorly I did at reading the list of books I set out to in 2018, I decided I would be more realistic for 2019 and not set a specific time limit on authors I really need to read. And then I filled my list of ten with authors of a variety of types…

    Happy Birthday, Taylor Swift, Book Tag

    Happy birthday to the forever Queen of My Heart, Taylor Swift! I love her so much and so to celebrate her birthday, I searched to see if someone had already come up with a Taylor Swift Book Tag. Sarah Jane from The Book Life posted one in 2014, plus there were two Reputation tags, one…

  • Favorite New to Me Authors of 2018

    Favorite New to Me Authors of 2018

    I’m not done trying new authors at this point in the month (see my SmutAThon TBR), but I’m impatient to start shouting my favorites from the rooftops because I’m a dramatic diva who feels the need to do that. So probably, if I remember, I’ll include new to me authors of December 2018 in next…

    Thank U, Next Book Tag

    Hello, Ariana Grande really did that. Have you watched the Thank U, Next video yet? My heart. Anyway, I figured out how to embed that, so if you haven’t watched it yet, you definitely should. My Legally Blonde loving heart was definitely thrilled with this masterpiece. If you’re wondering what Thank U, Next has to…

    Highly Anticipated: Winter Edition

    I really should switch to doing these January to March and so forth, but who wants to do that? Regardless, there’s only one book on here for December, but it’s one I am extremely excited about! So let’s hop to it. Dance All Nightby Alexis Daria Daria’s Dance Off series has produced two five star…

  • Contemporary Romance for Running from Your Problems (Again)

    Contemporary Romance for Running from Your Problems (Again)

    2018 has really been the year of Contemporary Romance for me. I think technically paranormal is beating it numbers wise, but that’s because I keep re-reading the paranormals I discovered this year and loved. Anyway, that means I’ve already got another list of ten contemporary romance novels to escape into when the world is just…

  • Checking in with my TBR

    Checking in with my TBR

    Y’all… The first step in a 12 step program is to admit you have a problem, right? So, I have a problem with acquiring books and then not reading them for MONTHS and sometimes YEARS. Now, what exactly is step two? I’m unsure, but I thought I would borrow from Emma at drinkingbymyshelf’s Balancing the…

    Best Books of the Year (So Far)

    This has been quite the fun project for me, but I’m not going to lie, at this point, I’m utterly overwhelmed by the amount of books I’ve read and trying to pick only ten favorites. I’m nearly at 200 already, which is an absurd amount honestly, but reading is my number one coping strategy and…

    Trope Talk: Friends to Lovers, Part Two

    As I said in Part One, friends to lovers is absolutely one of my favorite tropes and this time around, I’m talking about the friends to lovers novels where one person has been in love with the other one for a while, but for whatever reason thinks they can never be anything. 1) Scoring Off…

  • Book Tag: Out of My Comfort Zone

    Book Tag: Out of My Comfort Zone

    Emma from emmmabooks created this tag and it seemed really fun so… Here we are! To begin, Emma says you have to create a rule for yourself that you’re going to eliminate a genre/category that you talk about the most to challenge yourself to reach for books outside of your usual. So, obviously, I have…
