So this may be obvious to everyone by now, but I seem to be on an unintentional blogging hiatus. I think I got a bit burned out, by blogging, by ARCs, by beta reading, even just reading. I only read a fraction of my usual books in 2024, and honestly? A lot of that was […]
4 stars — I relistened to the first one before diving in to catch up on this series, and this one was just as cute as that one. I don’t think I initially noticed how low steam these ones are, but honestly I don’t actually care. I like all steam levels, and this one was […]

4.5 stars — I started this one buddy listening with the hubby on a road trip, but he declined to keep listening with me after we got home. However, he did want the high level ‘what happened’ when I finished…;) I listened to just over half of this one, and I definitely enjoyed Ms. Plummer’s […]
It’s back for another year! This challenge is focused on intentionally reading more diverse books, whether it be diverse characters or diverse authors. We’ve been hosting it since 2019, when we merged some concepts from the Platypire Diversity Challenge and the 2017 Diverse Reads Book Challenge hosted by Chasing Faerytales and Read.Sleep.Repeat. There’s the basic […]
It’s back for another year!! This challenge is focused on finally finishing those series that you’ve started but not yet completed. It was previously hosted by Bea’s Book Nook, but we’ve been hosting it since 2018. Review Link-Up Guidelines: While we’re pretty lax about how you wish to set up this challenge for yourself, we […]
4 stars — I was a little worried about how I would tolerate the more serious topics in this story, and if I was in the right mood for that. But I thought there was a pretty good balance, and honestly? I got sucked in to Mattie and Logan’s story. And I kind of loved […]
4.5 stars — I don’t know if it was the contrast with the previous book I read, but I was immediately captured by Jane and Levi’s story. Part of that is the situation at the start, talk about intense!! And part of that was just the easy depth and dimension of our characters from the […]
4 stars — That was a surprisingly emotional read for me. Like, seriously, I cried more than was probably warranted. I split time between reading and listening, but I really enjoyed Ms. Spencer’s narration. She had a great balance of emotion and snark that was needed with Holly. Solid pacing and voices as well. This […]
