Arc Roundup: Girl Gone Viral, First Comes Scandal, The Rakess, Starbreaker

It feels more than a little surreal to be talking about book reviews, but romances bring me a lot of joy right now, and I hope they can do the same for you. Keep reading for reviews of a new contemporary from Alisha Rai, Julia Quinn’s latest historical, a reverse-rake historical from Scarlett Peckham, and the latest installment in Amanda Bouchet’s sci-fi romance trilogy.

Most Anticipated Books of Winter 2018-2019

I feel like I’m usually chomping at the bit to get a new round of most anticipated books posted because there are so many I’m excited about, but there’s been such a lull in November that I almost forgot to put this post together! While December is going to be pretty slow, too, there are some awesome books coming in January and February.

January Wrap Up Part 1

Another month, another wrap up! Unfortunately I can’t say my 2018 reading got off to the most perfect start, but then it took off dramatically and I’ve read a few amazing books that I’m really excited to talk about. Continue reading

Monthly Recs: Best First Book in a Series

The January topic for the Monthly Recommendations Goodreads group is best first books in a series, and wow, did I struggle with this one! I mean, obviously the first book has to be good enough to get me hooked, but in a lot of my favorite series, the first book isn’t necessarily my favorite. Continue reading

Favorite Books of 2017, Part 1

It also might be nice of me to list them in some sort of countdown, but that’s just not happening. So below are seven of my favorite books that I read in 2017 in the order in which I read them throughout the year, and stay tuned tomorrow for the second half of this list!

January TBR

As I mentioned in my 2018 Reading Goals post, I want to make sure and read at least three books from my shelves that I had at the beginning of 2018, plus I want to make sure and read books within three months of purchase, so my TBRs going forward are going to reflect those goals. Continue reading

And to kick things off, I’m going to start with the End of the Year Survey created by Jamie at The Perpetual Page Turner.

Biggest Reading Surprises of 2017

Alright, so I had to limit myself with this list because there were a lot of books I read in 2017 that I was pleasantly surprised by. Honestly, a lot of my favorite books of 2017 (keep an eye out for my post next week!) could be on this list, but I tried to keep the focus more on books that I was surprised by how much I enjoyed, but that aren’t necessarily my favorites of 2017.
