I recently finished reading The Matchmaker’s List by Sonya Lalli and I was floored by how great this book felt. Aside from all the feels I got from this novel, I found myself really resonating with the position Raina found herself in. There are a couple of obvious differences, but I wanted to write about…

Well, I didn’t think I would get a winter in LA but now I do and I couldn’t be more excited. I think when the temperatures drop we all become creatures of comfort. We stay indoors, keep warm, and treat ourselves to a little winter magic. There are a few traditions I love to keep…

Happy Mid-Month! So I’ve been trying to think of fun ways to share with you what I’ve been reading lately. I figured this is the best way to give you some idea of what’s going on in my reading life. If you don’t follow me on Instagram, then I’ll let you know here. I recently…

Ah, another delicious lunch to pair with my current reads. I absolutely am loving sharing these recipes with you. Today’s lunch is from a recipe I found on NomNomPaleo that combines all my favorite Italian flavors into one dish. The best part? It’s Whole30 compliant, dairy-free, and gluten-free because I’m a basic bitch like that.…

If you look carefully at some of my book photos, you’ll see a journal hidden in the background. Here’s an example: If you’re wondering what that journal is, it’s my book journal. My book journal is literally my reading companion. I may not have it on me all the time, but it’s definitely there when…

People have been asking me for this blog post for a really long time. Because I recently hit 25,000 followers (GAH!), I wanted to share a little bit more about bookstagram with you! Here’s my process for creating, maintaining, and living that bookstagram life. I could rattle off the same advice everyone gives. Start by…

Now that it’s December, I’ve got to be honest. I love reading romance in the winter. It’s similar to watching those cheesy Hallmark and Lifetime holiday movies. The world is a tough place and sometimes you just want to end your year with good cheer, good news, and a little love. So I’ve put together…

I’m thinking about changing the title of these to “my most anticipated reads being published in December,” but that feels too long. Ha so it’ll probably stay the same. I like to think of December as the lull month. Not a lot going on, people getting ready for the holidays, and reading reading reading while…

I picked up this book recently because the publisher reached out to me to do a giveaway. I already loved the fact that this indie pub reached out to me with a middle grade read for young fantasy lovers. Also, it takes place at a magical school so you know I’ll read it. But because…

I don’t think I’ve done a TBR list in a really long time. Mostly it’s because I’m a terrible human and I read what my heart feels like. However, this is something I want to work on and be better about. I get a lot of books every month and I want to make time…
