Grief with a Side of Romance | Here We Go Again Review

This was meant to be an ARC review, but this is out now because our lives are a bit out of control right now. However, we have a lot to say about this book that we thought would be a fun lesbian road trip and turned into us both crying in public. Let us tell you more!

Poverty and … This Stuff | APRC Supplemental #29

I never have any idea what to title these. Two of these are about poverty in America and three of them are about … extremists? Conspiracies? Just … a not great time? I have no idea. Hopefully that means there’s something for everyone though!

I expected more | Old Flames and New Fortunes ARC Review

Sarah Hogle wrote one of my favorite romance novels of all time, You Deserve Each Other. Every time she releases a new book, I keep chasing more of the same. This one was cute and a little witchy but … I expected more. Let’s talk about it!

Really Cute People ARC Review | We need more queer and polyamorous contemporary romances

Michaela and I discuss Really Cute People, which is a new polyamorous romance that isn’t kink or dark-romance based. It is a breath of fresh air if only it had actually been good. [image error]

Turning Point: The Cold War | Reverse Book to Doc Reviews

Lately, I haven’t been reading … but I have been watching documentaries! I wanted to make a special, reverse book to doc review where I instead take the documentary I’ve been watching and recommend books based on it! This new 9 episode series is on Netflix and I’m absolutely hooked. Here’s a similar number of books I’ve read and enjoyed you might want to read next!

Also, right on time | Right on Cue ARC Review

I’ve been so hyped to read the new Falon Ballard book, and it did not disappoint! Mostly. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite of the three I’ve read, but Ballard just has SUCH a way of writing. I can’t wait to tell you about it!

Malingering TBR Challenge | Betwixt the Books

Michaela and I have a buddy reading challenge to read a book that has been on our TBR *FOREVER*. In this video, we start to explore our TBR with a few challenges! Let us know if you’ve read any of these.

Why is this so aggressively over-the-top? | Fangirl Down ARC Review

I have a dream that Tessa Bailey will write something I enjoyed as much as her Hot and Hammered series. This wasn’t as bad as Secretly Yours, but it also had its own issues. We’re going to talk about it! I’ll tell you up front: If you don’t want a spicy romance, look elsewhere!

Quick, cute, and silly | The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck ARC Review

Reviews are really hard to do when the book is just fun. Not mind-blowing, but certainly not terrible either. I will do my best to be engaging while I tell you a little about why I feel that way!
