We’re 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 […]
We’re back for another year!! This challenge is focused on finally finishing those series that you’ve started but not yet completed.

January to March Link-UpApril to June Link-UpJuly to September Link-UpOctober to December Link-Up Guidelines: While we’re pretty lax about how […]
4.5 stars — I can’t tell you how many books I read where I get sucked right in, loving them, and then that enthrallment fades as the book goes on. In a weird twist of fate, this book was the EXACT OPPOSITE for me. I’m not sure if it’s because I started it while on a […]
2 stars — First, the title and cover have changed for this book, but since the one on my Kindle is this one, I used the original title/cover. *sigh* Ellie was NOT a great character. I mean, I assumed she was going to start off in this way and then grow and change, hence why […]
4.5 stars — OK, so the oddest thing is that this book contained a jerk hero too, and yet I loved it so much more than the previous book I just finished reading. I mean, I was worried when I started it and Lucas was HARSH with a capital HAR. And not just in his […]
3.5 stars — There were a lot of cute elements in this book that I really enjoyed, but ultimately they were overshadowed by characters behaving badly. So what do I mean by that? Well Evan is kind of a dick. And unfortunately really immature as well. At times I found it refreshing that these college […]
4 stars — Quite a few of the books in this series start off in such a strange manner wrt the romance…and this one was not an exception. I was initially super uncomfortable with the arrangement between Beckett and Jubilee. It was awkward, and not hot, and just…fucked up. But here’s what’s funny. It was awkward […]
4 stars — I adore this author and the kinds of characters she brings to the table, and she didn’t disappoint in this book either. Drill and Thuy were hella unique, and I loved how they just fit with one another. Now, I’ll start this review with an admission: I’m not a motorcycle club kind […]
4.5 stars — Well howdy! I need that next book like NOW. I’m still LOVING Erin Mallon as the narrator. She brings SO MUCH to this story, I couldn’t imagine not listening to it. I love her portrayal of Anna — she brings so many subtle nuances to her character: emotional, sensitive, naive but becoming […]
4.5 stars — Well this was a strange romance. I felt so much for the crazy position that Tate was put in. She’s such a strange character, because in so many ways she’s pretty weak actually. But not completely, and that’s what made her interesting to read about. Because she’s kind of unlike anyone I’ve […]
