the I’ll Get Around to It tag

I found this on Rachel Kovaciny’s blog The Edge of the Precipice and thought it looked like a ton of fun. 😉 The Rules  A classic book that you have been meaning to read forever but haven’t yet  I don’t read many classics, but I’ll go with something by Jane Austen. I was pretty sure...Continue reading »

all the project updates (some good, some bad)

It’s hard to update you all on my writing projects when they’re at such funny stages. Or when I feel like I’m disappointing someone when I don’t get to the project they want. *grimaces* But I do have some exciting developments in the works, so I might as well update you all. 😉

things I learned from my book-buying ban

I went on a book-buying ban for the past month and a half, and believe me it was harder than I was expecting. 😉 The only exceptions were author copies of my latest release and a book I was assigned in therapy. Otherwise? Nada. (Not even when I went to two library sales. *cries*) (I...Continue reading »

i’m actually reading a series for once

And I just finished book three last night! Now I neeeeeed to go to the library for book four. The City Spies series by James Ponti is clever, heartfelt, and so much fun. 🤩 I’m enjoying how easy they are to read while not sacrificing depth. Do you have a series you enjoy?

the birthday book tag

It’s my birthday month, and what better way to celebrate than a tag! I found this one on Confessions of a Serial Reader, and it looked like a ton of fun. 😁🙌 (It’s different from the Birthday Book Tag I’ve done before, but I can still use the featured image, mwaha.) Count your birthday along...Continue reading »

i’ve been writing shorter reviews lately

I’ve been writing much shorter reviews lately (sometimes just a couple sentences long like my recent review of Harry Potter #1), and I’m really not sure why. Is it because I don’t feel like I have much to add to the conversation surrounding a popular book? Because I’ve refined my tastes so well that I’m...Continue reading »
