  • 2025 ARC Reviews: Harlem Rhapsody, Get Lost with You, and On Her Terms

    I am, as always, so grateful to the various publishers and Netgalley for giving me copies of these books early in exchange for my review. These three books are all out already so you can pick any of them up. I read my e-ARC of Harlem Rhapsody and also listened to a couple chapters here

  • Most Anticipated Books of Summer

    Most Anticipated Books of Summer

    The fact that I did a pretty decent job reading my Most Anticipated Books of Spring (the main set) has me feeling entirely too confident going into the summer months. I love to think that I’ll be able to read a lot while I’m on “vacation,” but historically, I actually don’t read a ton these

  • 2024 ARC Reviews: How You Get the Girl, A Fragile Enchantment, and An Education in Malice

    These three books are all ones I received as an ARC from Netgalley and I am so grateful. Ultimately, unlike yesterday, we’re starting with the best one and then giving you the other two reviews instead of ending with the best. You know, in the name of fairness (actually, it’s just the order in which

  • 2024 ARC Reviews: Not Your Crush’s Cauldron, The Friendship Study, and Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice

    2024 ARC Reviews: Not Your Crush’s Cauldron, The Friendship Study, and Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice

    First of all, being able to read Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice early is, in and of itself, an entire reason to have a Netgalley account, but these three books also gave me another reason: I wouldn’t have read The Friendship Study for AGES if I hadn’t had the push of an ARC to prioritize

  • Contemporary Romance Comfort Reads

    I think there are a couple of kinds of comfort reads and this series of [insert subgenre of romance] novels to run from your problems has mostly leaned toward the not angsty, but they’re likely going to start being a bit of a mix of the less angsty and the angsty that felt like they

    Even More Contemporary Romance for Escaping from Reality

    I have been reading contemporary romance so often lately, like ever since last year, contemporary romance has just become my primary genre and I don’t really know why. Anyway, what that means is that I already have another ten books to talk about for you to hide from the world inside! I tried to prevent

    ContemporaryAThon Wrap Up

    I know I’ve been doing these posts with like daily updates, but frankly, that just wasn’t my life last week so here we are with just book reviews! Let me know if you have a preference so I can try to keep that in mind in the future. 1. Rafe by Rebekah Weatherspoon Challenge Completed:

  • Top Ten (Contemporary) Romance of 2018

    Top Ten (Contemporary) Romance of 2018

    Hi, yes, I’m blatantly cheating at this whole ten books of favorites this year. And it’s probably worse than my cheating from last year, but let’s just ignore that. I’ve read so many contemporary romance this year. Specifically, I’ve read 96 contemporary romance this year. So, you’re getting my ten favorite contemporary romances to start

  • Contemporary Romance for Running from Your Problems (Again)

    Contemporary Romance for Running from Your Problems (Again)

    2018 has really been the year of Contemporary Romance for me. I think technically paranormal is beating it numbers wise, but that’s because I keep re-reading the paranormals I discovered this year and loved. Anyway, that means I’ve already got another list of ten contemporary romance novels to escape into when the world is just

  • (More) Contemporary Romance to Run from Your Problems

    (More) Contemporary Romance to Run from Your Problems

    Sometimes adulthood really is the worst. But then I remember that I can pretty much do whatever I want without having to ask for permission and things seem a little better (until I get the bill for whatever it is I decided to do, anyway). So, as always, when the going gets tough and I’m
