July Wrap Up
I read 25 books in July. It seems like I avoided the summer slump I’ve experienced the last two years, so that’s exciting. I read a lot of really amazing books too and several ARCs that I haven’t gotten to share my reviews of quite yet. I went on vacation and spent a lot of…

ARC Reviews: Blood Bound, Sea of Charms, and The Grump Whisperer
I am so excited to tell you about four books today! If you’re looking at the image and the title, you’re probably confused about how we’re getting to four, but I also DNF’d an ARC, unfortunately. So the books we’ll be discussing today are Blood Bound by Ellis Hunter, a romantasy, Sea of Charms by…

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…

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…

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…

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?

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…
