I finished August with 22 ARCs left to be read. September was just a hectic and out of control month. I’m traveling a bit in October, so I spent a lot of this month running around trying to handle a lot of stuff. Between medical appointments, hospital visits, […]

This week’s prompt is about books with my favorite trope, and for a moment I sat and didn’t know where to start. There’s so many tropes out there, some of which I can’t stand (insta-love and love triangles, I’m looking at you), and others that I adore. So […]

This week’s prompt is about broody/grumpy characters, and it’s surprisingly apropos for me. I love a good grumpy/sunshine story, and that obviously can’t happen without a grumpy or broody character. I also read a lot of fantasy novels, and those tend to be chock full of broody and […]

Here are some of […]
