Caaaan you feeeeel the loooove tonight? You know, because it’s Valentine’s Day? It just so happens that sometimes love involves stabby things and bodily harm and the occasional threat of death. Or worse. You know, because love is complicated. I may have mentioned before that my expectations for literary romance are … different? I mean, […]
Remember when I read The Star-Touched Queen and I enjoyed everything except the plot? Welp, A Crown of Wishes resolved that issue, and in the end, I straight-up loved it. The book both wrapped up nicely, yet still left me wanting more. Much, much more. Soap opera, style, maybe, because reality TV has nothing on Gauri and Vikram, okay? I […]
I’m convinced that my TBR is growing its own consciousness and will eventually take over the world. Sorry? Or maybe you’re welcome. Who knows, my TBR might be a really effective ruler and provide free books to everyone. My Goodreads TBR shelf is 336 titles, and that’s not including the books I have on my […]
So, I read a grand total of 96 books in 2018. Which means I didn’t read … all the others. I KNOW. I’m just as disappointed in myself as you are. I had such grandiose TBR plans for 2018. Where did I go wrong? Obviously, I didn’t have enough coffee and chocolate to power my […]

That’s right, denying our own mortality and convincing ourselves that we can totally make it through our TBR before we die, because it’s definitely a reasonable amount of books. Right? Right. Since we’ve got that out of the way, we can add one or two or ten […]
This book was just … wow. I loved it as much as I disliked it, and I’m just all sorts of conflicted. I also immediately checked out the sequel as soon as I finished reading this, and I can’t wait to start it, so there’s that. All in all, this was a really hard one […]
I’m going to let you in on a little secret: there are a LOT of published books out there. And for some reason, I haven’t read all of them yet? Wow, I’ve dropped the ball somewhere. If you find it, please let me know. There are fantastic new books published every single day at this […]
Now that Halloween has forsaken us to the cold, miserable clutches of winter*, there’s never been a better time to curl up with a good book. *Yes, I am being very extra and dramatic, but oh my gosh, it’s COLD and WET and ABANDON ALL HOPE BECAUSE WINTER IS COMING. *flails* On the plus side, […]
So, I had planned to read all the spooky books, and I ended up reading, like, two. Turns out I’m really bad at sticking to plans. Who knew? (Hint: Everyone). October was a slow month for me, in general, for several reasons. First, I focused a lot on my health over everything else, both mental […]
