July Wrap Up
I read 25 books in July. It seems like I avoided the summer slump I’ve experienced the last two years, so that’s exciting. I read a lot of really amazing books too and several ARCs that I haven’t gotten to share my reviews of quite yet. I went on vacation and spent a lot of…

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…

Mid Year Freak Out Tag
The Mid Year Freak Out tag has truly just taken on a life of its own and at this point, I feel like most people have the basic questions and then add or take away as they feel. It was originally created by Earl Gray Books and Chami and it was created over a decade…

June Wrap Up
I was absolutely swamped in June with plans every single weekend, which resulted in me neglecting the blog so terribly. I apologize for that, but also, don’t be alarmed if that happens again in July. The good news is that I did not neglect my reading (shout out to audiobooks, as per usual). I read…

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,…

2026 Releases ARC Reviews: The Art of Loving You, Echoes of Insurrection, and Good at Being Alive
This is such a weird mix of books, I feel like. The Art of Loving You by Natasha Bishop and Good at Being Alive by Elizabeth O’Roarke are both contemporary romances with grief elements, so they have that in common, I suppose. And then Echoes of Insurrection is just my little outlier. Regardless, those are…

June TBR + New Releases
Happy Pride Month, friends! This month is slightly quieter than May for me with new releases that I’m super excited about, but I didn’t ever get around to sharing a May TBR so my sincere apologies if you were looking for that. I’m behind on blogging for sure. Anyway, I’m really excited about reading right…

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…
