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…

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…

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…

Catch Up ARC Reviews: We Who Will Die, The Seven Rings, and And They Lived Happily Ever After
Will I ever timely review my ARCs again? Who is to say? But in the meantime, I hope y’all enjoy reading my reviews of these books. I received review copies of both the e-book and the audiobook of We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark, and I did do a mixed format reading of We…

2025 ARC Reviews: The Heartbreak Hotel, The Brave and the Reckless, and Totally and Completely Fine
I’m so behind in giving y’all these reviews, it’s honestly absurd. I read The Heartbreak Hotel by Ellen O’Clover prior to its release, which was quite the accomplishment, considering how behind I am with my ARCs this year. And yet, I’m writing this review a full two months later. Oops. I also ordered a copy…

2025 ARC Reviews: Bold Moves, Not Safe for Work, and Love in Focus
I really love being able to bring y’all reviews in groups of three where I really enjoyed all three books and that is what we have here today! Bold Moves by Emma Barry came out in April, sorry about the delay, and if you haven’t read it yet, you simply must pick it up. Not…

Continuing Series: ARC Reviews of Two Secrets to Surrender, Left of Forever, and Heart Strings
This is so fun to be able to bring you a review of a book you can pick up right now (Two Secrets to Surrender), a book you can pick up in two days (Left of Forever), and a book that doesn’t come out until August (Heart Strings). Is that too far away to tell…

2025 ARC Reviews: The Other March Sisters, My Big Fat Fake Marriage, and Audre & Bash are Just Friends
I both never mean to get so behind on my ARCs for review or to get so far ahead that I’m telling you about a book that’s more than a month away, but here we are. Y’all are more used to the former than the latter, but today, I’m bringing you reviews of two books…
