I'm going to keep this month's wrap-up intro on the shorter side this time. I've spent the majority of the month in a reading slump and I'm trying a few different things to get me back into the swing of it. Check out this post that I wrote in 2020 about the dreaded reading slump… Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: May 2023

Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2023
In April, I managed six reads with most being 4 or 5 stars! There was one that I declined to give a star rating for a few reasons. If you're interested, you can check out why here. In addition to the many wonderful reads, I had a very busy month at work and I took… Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2023
Monthly Wrap-Up: March 2023
March was a much slower reading month for me. There was lots going on with work, family, and general life that reading fell a little to the wayside. As such, I had a little comfort reading author binge! In addition to the five romance books I read for my own leisure, I also read approximately… Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: March 2023
Monthly Wrap-Up: February 2023
How was everyone's reads in February? Personally, I was quite surprised by the number of books I managed to read. I went into February knowing I was going to be hit by a book slump as a result of a number of personal things going on in my life and affecting my ability to concentrate… Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: February 2023
New Release Round-up: February 2023
"So many books, so little time" is a common phrase that every reader understands as they look (longingly? dazedly?) at their TBR pile. I know I'm certainly guilty of wishing I had more time to read! However, by that same token, I think adding books to your TBR pile has become a hobby in and… Continue reading New Release Round-up: February 2023
Monthly Wrap-Up: January 2023
How was the start of everyone's year? With a new year comes new reads and new reading goals! I've decided to stick with my reading goal from last year: to have no reading goal target. It worked well for me last year as I was able to focus on reading books I really enjoyed and… Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: January 2023
Monthly Wrap-Up: December 2022
December may have been a slower reading month, but it was filled with lots of comfort reads (for me that involves small town romantic suspense/thrillers). I also managed to *finally* finish reading my way through Katie Ruggle's backlist, which has been a reading goal of mine for a while now. Another reading goal of mine… Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: December 2022
Monthly Wrap-Up: November 2022
How was your reading in November? Mine definitely had a lot more three-star reads - which isn't necessarily a bad thing (despite what some people might think) as I still liked what I read. If I didn't like it, I would have DNF'd it or given it a lower rating. I find that I give… Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: November 2022
Monthly Wrap-Up: October 2022
I'm a month late in posting October's wrap-up, but as we get closer to the end of the year, life seems busier and days feel shorter! My October reads were really great for the most part and I managed to "spice" it up (😜) by sneaking in a couple of hilarious Halloween-themed novellas. Two of… Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: October 2022
Monthly Wrap-Up: September 2022
September was a month of change for me, and as such, it also became the month of comfort reads. If you're familiar with my monthly wrap-ups or have been following my bookstagram, you'lll know that Cate C Wells is a comfort author for me. I adore her work so, so much! Her latest, Nicky the… Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: September 2022
