Last month two anticipated books on my pre-order list dropped and I was so excited. So apologies for a BOTM book not being mentioned this month but Alexandria Bellefleur’s final chapter in her trilogy just dropped and like that, I dropped everything to read it. Okay, listen to it because Lauren Sweet reading these three … Continue reading When you’re everything for everyone but nothing for yourself.

Some Like it Spicy
From a British baking show to the American cooking show. I wasn’t expecting a theme this month, but here we are. Love and other Disasters by Anita Kelly is my Book of the Month Club review for February. A sweet, utterly lovely story that, instead of dealing with a large amount of contestants, it focuses … Continue reading Some Like it Spicy
All the tropes!
What's your favorite tropes in books. It's February so we'll start with Romance novels. Personally, I will devour a good fake dating romance novel like a gourmet meal. Other's like friends to lovers, still other's like secret baby.

East End Boys and London Girls
Until I started reading Alexis Hall, I never knew it was possible to utterly dislike the main character in the beginning of the story yet end up utterly invested that this person gets to have a happy life. Yet that exactly what happened in Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake. This is the second time this … Continue reading East End Boys and London Girls
It’s a Review. Looking back on some of my favorite reads of 2021
I know other blogs did this at the end of 2021 but I figured I'd start out the new year with a two-parter before I got back to the business of reading books.

Fake dating? Check. Dogs? Check. The bonus round was bisexual man falling for another guy. I’m here for that. … Continue reading Mr. Jingle Bells

Friends recommending me books seems to be my go-to way of finding some of the most exciting and interesting books I’ve read in 2021. And his one is no different. A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske was suggested to me under the synopsis of the book jacket: Robin is a good over brother, a responsible … Continue reading A Marvellous Story
She Blinded Me With Science
As I’ve mentioned before in previous blogs, I am a reader of fanfiction. So, I am usually gratified when I see some of my fellow fanfic writer’s works get recognized and promoted after they did the work and get them published in the traditional publishing world. (This isn’t always true and I still don’t know … Continue reading She Blinded Me With Science
And In the End, There’s Always Madeleine.
Books are wonderful things. They can make you laugh or cry. You can love some and hate other. They can educate and can make you think about your own internal issues. I didn’t go into this month to be taught anything, I thought in honor of Femslash February, I’d read and review a few w/w … Continue reading And In the End, There’s Always Madeleine.
