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…

Tier Ranking the 2026 Releases I Read from January – April
These posts are probably my favorites of the year, but they’re also a lot of work so yay for being here! We’re going with Taylor Swift tiers as per usual, so we’ve got The Alchemy as our top most tier, not because it’s my favorite song but because it encompasses the idea of loving a…

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…

April Wrap Up
This is going to need to be a rapid fire wrap up because I decided I wanted to do a 30 books in 30 days challenge for myself because… I don’t really know, actually. But I succeeded! So I have 30 books to rapidly tell you about so let’s tackle them, shall we?

Favorite Reads of Quarter One
Three months of reading are now in the rearview and I read 49 new to me books from January – March, and 70 books total, so 21 rereads. Wow, that is so many rereads. Anyway, I’m here to tell you about my ten-ish favorite reads from the first three months.
