books I’m unhauling

It seems like every so often I’m sharing a new book haul, but just to be clear, I do get rid of books sometimes too. You know, balance and all that. *looks at bookshelf* *looks away guiltily at how full they are* Some of these will end up at Goodwill, but the brand new ones...Continue reading »

a small rant about a book series that “betrayed” me

I don’t consider myself the most picky reader, but I do have some pet peeves. I don’t like “bad boys”. I often find the sympathy shown toward them to be an excuse for bad behavior and their feelings to be the heroine’s responsibility. I don’t like the stress of love triangles. I don’t like long...Continue reading »

i splurged on books and have no regrets

I was scared to read Gay Girl, Good God by Jackie Hill Perry

I’ve fallen off the horse on sharing my reviews here regularly, mainly because there are so many of them and they’re much shorter than I used to write so not really blog post material.

at least it’s not the bookstore…

After that big week of book hauls last month, you’d think I would have had my fill of books, but nope, not in the least. 😉 I went to the library last week and grabbed my holds as well as several new books that caught my eye, even though I already had several at home....Continue reading »

Consider this the beginning of a new (short) series, in which I find the opportunity to gab a little bit about my books and the heart and reasoning behind them. 😉 Today, we’re starting with a spotlight of my fantasy books. The Twin Arrows Published July 1, 2017, just in the nick of time to...Continue reading »

February: Black books, new job, and blogging

I know February is the shortest month, but it felt even more “blink and you’ll miss it” this year. It’s brought a time of sweet staycation and bookshopping with J and a big new change to my routine. I didn’t read quite as much this month as I did last month, but I’m still quite...Continue reading »

winter book tag

It doesn’t really feel like winter where I live since the temperatures are more temperate, but I’m soaking up every bit of this good weather I can get before the horror that is summer comes. *drinks tea* *goes out without a jacket to feel the cold* *runs the heater* *contemplates socks* I originally found this...Continue reading »
