Fasten your seat belts — it's going to be a long one today, so I won't keep you long with the intro. I loved this week of reading, which is filled with everything from unflinchingly realistic nonfiction to the most fantastical fantasy, with a large dose of romance novels in between. The one thing all of … Continue reading Reading Roundup #54: I Changed the Rules
Is there anything so satisfying as crossing off a book that's been on your TBR for a long time? (Except for warm chocolate cake with a cold glass of milk, of course — nothing can beat that.) I did that this week! And while I was wrapping up the 800+ page brick that is The … Continue reading Reading Roundup #53: Solving for Love
Listen, some weeks, we just want all the romance, you know? I don't have much to say about this week's "theme" beyond that, so let's jump right to the fun part, shall we? First up is Faro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer! This has quickly become one of my favorite reads and the book I reach … Continue reading Reading Roundup #52: She Blinded Me With Chemistry
We've almost made it to the end of another workweek, and I am so excited for the long weekend ahead. I'm hoping it will give me the chance to rest up that I didn't really get over Christmas, so I can pull myself together for the coming weeks. If this week hasn't been particularly great, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #50: In Search of Rest
Once in a blue moon, you open a book, begin to read, and get hit by that feeling — that warm glow in your heart that whispers "this one" — and you just know you're in for a treat. That's how I felt starting Mimi Matthews's new Victorian romance, The Siren of Sussex. And I … Continue reading The Siren of Sussex by Mimi Matthews
There are so many authors out there that trying a new one can feel like a gamble — sometimes, it pays off and sometimes, it doesn't. But what if you're not in a gambling mood? That's when it's great to have a list of reliable favorites, authors you can turn to and know you'll get … Continue reading Reading Roundup #49: Bookheart
Another week, another bunch of books that are all over the place! There were even more I read this week that were... *ahem* out there... but I decided to just include the ones I had something to say about/particularly enjoyed. And with fairy stories (beg pardon — goblin stories), murder mysteries, and romance across the … Continue reading Reading Roundup #48: Beefcake & Fairy Tales
Everyone has secrets to hide — some more devastating than others. In each of this week's books, our main characters question what to hide, who to trust, and when it is necessary to face the truth. And each of them handles it in a different way, by running, by pretending, or by marching straight ahead … Continue reading Reading Roundup #44: A Study in Secrets
When I tell you this was a great week for reading, I mean it was a great week for reading. These books are about the lengths to which we'll go to protect ourselves and those important to us – and the people who are right there with us through it all. If you're looking for … Continue reading Reading Roundup #43: Sneakin’ Around With You
Ah-ha! Thought I was skipping the Roundup this week, did you? Well, I'm not! Honestly, I just got busy with work this week and forgot about it until today. But we're here now, and I'm happy to report it was a great week for reading. We've got a good dose of romance, of course, plus … Continue reading Reading Roundup #42: Fantasies Makes the World Go ‘Round
