• Reads of November

    November was a busy month, with NaNoWriMo writing every day and the holiday season, and I didn’t have much time to read. I only ended up getting through four books, and just barely. I don’t know if I was in a funk or what, but I was just not in the mood for reading. But…

  • Reads of October

    Eleven books this month. All but one were on audio, since I was working hard on getting book stuff done this month. As we get closer to the end of the year, the less time I’ll have to read. And in the spirit of the season, I’ll say I’m forever thankful for audiobooks. So, let’s…

  • When Women Were Dragons – Deep Dive

    There was so much to love about this book. I know I’m going to read it over and over to really take in all the greatness it had to offer. We’ll start with the flow of the story. The narrative wove in and out of the present with flashbacks to early childhood and excerpts from…

  • September Book Thoughts

    I only read eight books in September. Feels a little light for my normal reading speed. But I felt like I was in a reading slump for a while there. A few things I read in August weirded me out and it was hard to get into some of the books I picked this month.…

  • A Rant about Reviews

    Book reviews are for the readers. They always have been. And they are also extremely subjective. If you didn’t like a book, that is completely your opinion. Other people can share your opinion, but you are not “correct” in your opinion. And other people aren’t “wrong” for disagreeing with you. Now, if you rate a…

  • A Game of Hearts and Heists

    This book was such a joy to read. The voice and tone was such a great change of pace to other strictly romance books I’ve read. Because this was definitely much more than just a lesbian romance. This had action, and mystery, and fantasy – and then of course the steamy scenes too. But the…

  • August Book Thoughts

    I read ten books in the month of August. There was a good variety in formats and topics. I branched out into some different genres and styles and, even though I didn’t quite enjoy them all, it was a nice change of pace to see what else was out there. Let’s get into it. Tender…

  • Sign Here

    I can’t shut up about this book. A horror that can make me laugh and cry is something to shout about. The dual storylines of Peyote Trip and the Harrison family was so well done. And they way we were told just as much as we needed to know every step of the way made…

  • July Book Thoughts

    Nine books this month. Would have been more, but I went on vacation and hurt my foot so I didn’t have as much time as I usually did to read. But all progress is good progress. I’m continuing to do better at reading across different formats so I’m happy with that. So, let’s get into…

  • The Watchers, A.M. Shine

    It’s usually pretty easy for me to pick which book as my favorite of the month. Generally it’s the book I read the fastest, the book I had to gush about to anyone who would listen, the book I immediately wish was a movie, and the one I can’t stop thinking about even when I…
