Looks like April was fantasy book month for me based on this list of 4 and 5 star reads. I really don't find it the least bit surprising that I'd be looking for something that takes away from reality right now. There are a few that are more contemporary, but they were spread out over… Continue reading Recommended Reads From April

Recommended Reads From March
I haven't written many reviews recently, but have still been reading a ton. I've also gotten away from posting any kind of TBR. I thought I might try posting a sort of a reverse TBR, instead. Basically a list of books I read over the month that I'd recommend instead of what I intend to… Continue reading Recommended Reads From March

Best of 2019: Books
I don't tend to set reading goals as I already probably spend too much time with my nose buried in a book. Maybe. It's debatable. I have no desire to ever again hit or even get close to my highest book count in a year, because that 508 was nuts. I can say that based… Continue reading Best of 2019: Books

On My TBR – November 2019 Edition
I didn't get to all my books on my list last month. I made the mistake of loading up too much on the really heavy reads and needed more of a break in between. I read more than what was on the list, though I didn't review them all. That was part of the break… Continue reading On My TBR – November 2019 Edition

On My TBR – October 2019 Edition
The end of September got interesting for me. Between getting into the groove of the new schedule with BG's dance, managing my Amazon ad, and getting an influx of ARCs, several indie requests and all the books I picked up that I wanted to read, I've kind of felt a little swamped. For the first… Continue reading On My TBR – October 2019 Edition

Release Day! The Unkindest Tide
I cannot believe that I overlooked that today is release day for this book. Or that I also somehow missed putting it on my September TBR.

On My TBR – September 2019 Edition
When I did the first one of these a few months ago, I thought for sure I wouldn't end up being a fan and dropping it. Mostly because I am very much a mood reader and I didn't think I'd ever really get through all the books on a TBR list. Oh, I'd read that… Continue reading On My TBR – September 2019 Edition
The Blacksmith Queen Release Day!
As I said in the review, if you like phenomenal, irreverent snark and humor layered into intensely grotesque battle scenes combined with a great story, this really should be on your TBR.
