    January To Be Read (or January 2025 Releases)

    I know that in 2024, I always combined my wrap up with my TBR, but for 2025, I think I’m more inclined to separate them. We’ll see if I maintain that habit, but for now, I’m really excited to start talking about my TBR in separate posts. I’m partially wanting to do this because I

  • November Wrap Up & December TBR

    November Wrap Up & December TBR

    After a truly exhausting November, dotted with three excellent weekends spent with family, we have arrived at the last month of the year. And, specifically, as I’m writing this, the last two Eras Tour shows are tonight and tomorrow. To say that I am experiencing melancholia the likes of which I’ve never known feels like

    #SnowInLoveBingo Announcement & TBR

    Putting together this seasonal bingo truly feels like a labor of love sometimes more than others. I’ve been in such a weird headspace, which I think I’ve hammered home in my last several posts, that finding the ability to think creatively has been a challenge and I know that’s true for my sister as well,

  • Q3 Favorite Books: July, August, & September

    Q3 Favorite Books: July, August, & September

    Delighted to tell you about my ten favorite books with only cheating a little bit a couple of times in combining books from a series that I read in the last three months. I know I normally have so much more to say in an intro paragraph, but honestly, I’m so behind in getting posts

  • Speculative Romance ARC Reviews: Hot Hex Boyfriend, The Spark of the Everflame, and The Mirror

    Speculative Romance ARC Reviews: Hot Hex Boyfriend, The Spark of the Everflame, and The Mirror

    This is such a solid group of three books that I would highly recommend, so that’s really exciting. You can already pick up Hot Hex Boyfriend by Carly Bloom and The Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole, but The Mirror by Nora Roberts doesn’t come out for another month. That said, if you haven’t

  • Contemporary Romance ARC Reviews: The Fiancé Dilemma, Morbidly Yours, and Not Another Love Song

    Contemporary Romance ARC Reviews: The Fiancé Dilemma, Morbidly Yours, and Not Another Love Song

    I’m trying to get this review post up before the internet goes out again, but honestly, I can’t blame the lateness of these reviews on Hurricane Helene. I’ve been supposed to write these reviews and post them since early September when I finished the third book for this. Oops. Anyway, let’s dive in real quick,

  • Reading Christmas Romances Early so You Know What to Pick Up or Something

    Reading Christmas Romances Early so You Know What to Pick Up or Something

    Listen, publishers do publish Christmas romances a bit early (read, way too early if they want you to read it upon release), but as we all know, I’m generally not the one to read an ARC early so why does it matter? Well, for once, my friends, I have three timely (even one very early!)

    Celebrating Queer Love with ARC Reviews: You Should Be So Lucky, At Her Service, and Second Night Stand

    Shout out to Netgalley and the publishers for advanced copies of these three books, but as per usual with me, you can already grab all three of these books to read for yourself!

  • July Wrap Up & August TBR

    July Wrap Up & August TBR

    July both seemed to fly by and also be an agonizingly long month. I think it’s because work was absolute madness and I thought about quitting on approximately a daily basis. However, gotta have an income, ya know? (And also, I do actually mostly like my job.) Anyway, let us turn our attention to the

  • ARC Reviews: Past Present Future, Romancing Miss Stone, and Just Playing House

    ARC Reviews: Past Present Future, Romancing Miss Stone, and Just Playing House

    These three books are a bit of an eclectic mix. We’ve got an adventure romance (Romancing Miss Stone by M.C. Vaughan), a college set YA (Past, Present, Future by Rachel Lynn Solomon), and a really, deeply emotional romance (Just Playing House by Farah Heron). So, let’s begin by thanking Netgalley for the e-ARCs of these
