  • January To Be Read (or January 2025 Releases)

    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

    #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…

  • 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

    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…

  • Tier Ranking the 2024 Releases I Read from January – April

    Tier Ranking the 2024 Releases I Read from January – April

    I read 31 new releases in the first four months of the year, which seems like a lot to me, but I think is probably on par with where I usually am at this time of year. There are several that were absolutely marvelous and fortunately, not too many that I really didn’t like. And…

  • April Wrap Up + May TBR

    April Wrap Up + May TBR

    Somehow April is over? I’m very bewildered by this. First of all, I somehow decided there were 31 days in April and, well, there are not. Secondly, I am still not ready to move on from Tortured Poets so I’m just not going to and will have it on repeat for the rest of forever.…

  • March Wrap Up & April TBR

    March Wrap Up & April TBR

    In March, I participated in the Bookish Swifties Club Readathon and was on Team White Rabbit, which meant I could only read fantasy, nonfiction, historical fiction, or general fiction books unless I had a wild card, which meant that my reads this month look dramatically different than they normally do. I wound up having a…
