Happy Friday! I took the week off from writing and sharing content with you mostly because I’ve been a little out of sorts. I’m feeling better, but sometimes you need to step away from things and figure out your next steps. It’s also been trying with everything happening in the news, our world, and on…

Happy Friday! Lately, I’ve been thinking about bringing more content to the blog and one of the things I’ve always wanted to do is put together a little highlight of my week. Then I thought, why not make them Fridays and have them be a little treat to start your weekend? Well, then I was…

If you live in an area of the world where you don’t see the foliage, or watch the seasons change, or your weather never dips too far below 55 degrees F, then this is the post for you. My whole life, I’ve lived in New York where the trees turn russet colors and the chill…

Happy Pub Day! While I didn’t get enough sleep last night and kind of feeling it this morning, I’m excited that it’s publishing Tuesday. Perhaps I’ll treat myself to a couple of these since I didn’t get to sleep all that much and probably could use a book or two before bed. Here’s my picks…

I’m so thankful that the weather is finally subsiding and I can bake. I try not to bake too much because my husband has a sweet tooth and that usually means that baked goods last less than a day in my house. But I love filling the house with scent of spices and that warm…

Ah, another glorious morning with some great books being published that I can’t not talk about! I’m actually very excited about today’s pub day because there’s some really great stories on my TBR that are also on this list. Some I’m reading this month and others in the coming months ahead. Here’s what I’m excited…

Recently (and I’m sure you’ve heard this from me a few times let alone our entire universe), I’ve been struggling with reading. I’m more attached to my phone than my book and usually those outcomes are never good. Mostly because when I’m attached to my phone over a book, I’m reading about the news. I’m…

October arrives with a lot going on. And I mean A LOT! I wanted to hold off a bit on sharing my TBR for the month because I had so many other announcements and content to share! But now that the dust has settled, let’s get into the books I’ll be reading all through October.…

This book was so many things to me. It was poetic, beautiful, dark, edgy, funny, and most definitely brilliant. I’ve read many books by VE Schwab and all of them were great, but this book really takes the cake. I’m just so speechless. I don’t think I can write a decent review for this. Here’s…

Well, today is the day I’ve been waiting all quarantine for (since we’ve been indoors for pretty much the entire year). While I’m so excited about one book that I legit don’t want to talk about anything else, there are some other great reads coming out today that I wanted to highlight. I promise, I…
