I’m back with another pair of reviews for my When Old Meets New reading project with Jenica at Firewhiskey Reader! The historicals we’ve been reading have gone steadily downhill, to the point where neither of us was able to finish For the Roses by Julie Garwood. Fortunately Hold Me by Courtney Milan is excellent, which saved this round from being a complete disaster!

Book Haul
I have a well-documented history of not buying a lot of physical books (check out my post about hitting a zero TBR here), and I’ve always been kind of averse to sharing book hauls for a number of reasons. But as bookstores face harder and harder times, I’ve been trying to do what I can to support them, and I thought it’d be fun to share some of my purchases here! Continue reading
KissCon TBR Check-In
In the grand scheme of everything that’s been happening lately, the delay of KissCon is a pretty minor blip on the radar. But it’s something I was really looking forward to and I’m pretty bummed it’s been pushed back until August (fingers crossed that’s it can still happen then!). The silver lining, though, is that I have more time to make progress on my KissCon TBR, so I thought it’d be fun to do a quick check-in on that! Continue reading
Let’s Talk: Comfort Reads
These are strange and scary times. While we all look for comfort where we can, I thought I’d take some time to talk about comfort reads, and what I’ve been reading over the past few weeks. Continue reading
Most Anticipated Books of Spring 2020
I remember being surprised this time last year because spring (specifically May) is one of the busiest times in publishing, but I actually didn’t have all that many anticipated releases coming out at the time. Well, this year is sure making up for it, as I have more than a dozen highly anticipated books coming out in the next few months! Continue reading
Series Check In
I did a post a few months ago about revisiting old lists, but I skipped one of my old lists because I thought it’d be fun to take a look back at it as part of a larger post about where I’m at in a bunch of series and what progress I’ve made this year. Continue reading
More Travel Bookmarks!
A few years ago I did a blog post about my travel bookmark collection, which I’ve accumulated throughout the years through a mix of my own travels and gifts from family and friends. Since I’ve gotten a lot of really cool ones recently, I thought it would be fun to share some of the new bookmarks I’ve welcomed into my collection! Continue reading
2019 Reading Stats
It’s time for my favorite post of the entire year! I love breaking down my reading stats from the past year, though it took me a little longer to put together this year than normal. I really should try to do better about updating my spreadsheet throughout the year so I don’t have to do all of them at once. Regardless, it is here, and it is glorious! Enjoy! Continue reading
Books My Sister Needs to Read
My younger sister Andi is a big reader (not quite at my crazy levels, but she reads a lot), but she doesn’t stay as attuned to new releases, so she comes to me for recommendations a lot. Not to brag too much, but I do a pretty good job for her if I do say so myself! I know her reading tastes pretty well, so she’s found a lot of new favorites from me. Anyways, she recently asked me for a new batch of recommendations, but she’s terrible at keeping track of them, so I figured I’d put a blog post together specifically for her and share it with everyone! Continue reading
2019 in Books (Including Lots of Faves!)
I went back and forth numerous times on whether to do a traditional favorite books of 2019 post, but ultimately decided not to since I read so many books this year that I can’t adequately cover them all in one post. Instead, I’m going to highlight a few of my faves, talk about what I most want to reread, spotlight my new favorite authors, and point you to where you can find even more great book recs!!
