Texas is Wack

Texas is falling apart and, honestly, this is the literal icing atop the stress-cake that is my life.

As of right now, I get power every two hours for only thirty minutes. We have about seven-ten feet of snow and negative temperatures. Can't heat the house. We do have the fireplace going and I guess that's our saving grace.

We also have to boil our water for everything now. I know this will end in just a couple days, because Texas weather is the ultimate slap to any southerner's face, it just real...

Emerald Blaze Review

Emerald Blaze (Hidden Legacy #5)By Ilona AndrewsOriginally Published August 25th, 2020Single POV, First Person

This is the fifth in a series, to read the review of the novella before it click here!

Emerald Blaze was one of those books that I had been waiting and agonizing over for months, so much so that when I accidentally received it days before its actual release, I canceled everything and read it immediately. After I devoured it, it took me a long time to come to terms with how I felt. An...

Eat, Pray, Die Review

Eat, Pray, Die (Eat, Pray, Die Humorous Mystery #1)By Chelsea FieldOriginally Published July 5th, 2016Singular POV, First Person

Eat, Pray, Die kept on popping up as a recommendation while I read the Spotless series. The covers were similar, I thought the synopsis sounded fun and quirky, and while I licked the emotional wounds Spotless #4 left me with (damn that book hurt!), I gave Chelsea Field's a try.

My initial assumptions were correct. This book is unique and rather adorable. With a kind...

,THIS IS BOOK FOUR IN A SERIES, TO SEE MY REVIEW OF BOOK THREE CLICK HERE!

It's taken me a little while to come to terms with the emotional rollercoaster that is Butterfly In Amber, but I think I now have my thoughts in order.

Three stars, Caitlyn? After you have done nothing but rave about this series? After giving all the other books five stars?

The short answer, yes. I stand by...

December Round-Up

Another stressful month; I'm still trying to figure out where I'm going with this move. Unfortunately, COVID is making it hard to actually move to the city I had planned to go to, so I'm in limbo and all my things are in storage. After a bad reading month in November, I was beyond glad to find a new series to binge ...
