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…

Tier Ranking the 2026 Releases I Read from January – April

ARC Reviews: Stranger Things Have Happened, An Ordinary Sort of Evil, and Dolly All the Time
I have been so fortunate with the ARCs I’ve had access to lately and these three were all winners! Stranger Things Have Happened was my second book by Kasie West and solidified that she’s going to be an auto-read author from me because I am truly vibing with her writing style. An Ordinary Sort of…

March Wrap Up
We have survived another month of 2026, my friends! I have run away from North Carolina, where the pollen is trying to murder me, and am hiding in my home state as I write this monthly wrap up. I am so excited to talk about the books I read and loved this past month, even…

Books with Flowers on the Cover (ARC Reviews): One & Only, Anderson in Bloom, and No Place Like You
This is a really excellent round up of three books that I enjoyed quite a bit and each and every one is already out because of course they are. First up, we have One & Only by Maurene Goo, which is her first adult novel and it was just as captivatingly written as her YA…

February Wrap Up
Hi friends! Time went so quickly in February for the most part. I’m really excited that the days are getting a little longer, especially because my work commute for the past two weeks has been very far, which has left me driving home in the dark for part of the way. In March, I’ll get…
