  • Romance Recommendations for Venus in Virgo

    So a million years ago, I did a couple of posts about book recommendations for certain signs and then fell off of that entirely. I know it’s a relatively popular concept, which I love, because I think it’s really neat. However, when I decided I wanted to return to this idea, my sister was like,

  • Low Key Eff 2020 Tag

    Like Isabel, I too am obsessed with this Avenue Beat song, F2020. So Isabel is a genius and she created this tag on YouTube and I decided it seemed fun and I wanted to as well.

  • 1989 + Romance Novels, Part One

    First of all, I was not expecting so many people to love the folklore + Romance Novels posts (part one; part two) and I was really excited to see that.

    I came across a one-star review from a person I’m Goodreads friends with of a book I was loving the other day that said, “I could barely get through it.” This got me wondering, how do we decide whose reviews we can trust? For me, I think it’s a two fold question. I trust several

  • folklore + romance novels: part one

    Y’all, I haven’t had this much serotonin hanging out in my brain in MONTHS. When Taylor dropped this news last week I found out as I was walking into work so I literally walked in with my hand in front of my mouth (masked), shaking, and basically screamed at everyone once I got into the

  • 2020 Reading Goals: Mid-Year Check In

    I’m really good at setting reading goals and then equally as good as pretending that I never did such a thing. So I try to do these check in posts quarterly so that I do check in and see where I’m at and how I’m doing. Now that we’re halfway through the year, we’ll see

  • When Old Meets New: The Secret and Wanna Bet?

    If you’ve been following along with this project on mine and Dani’s respective blogs, you may recall that we tried to read To All the Roses last time and both of us DNF’d the book. So, as you can imagine, my expectations weren’t super high going into The Secret and I was really nervous I
