You have no idea how happy I am to announce that ALL OF MY BOOKS WERE GOOD THIS WEEK. Not all were perfect, but all were fun and satisfied various cravings for mystery, romance, and good old fashioned shenanigans. Our protagonists walk very different paths, but they're all granted second chances in their search for … Continue reading Reading Roundup #74: The Magic of Second Chances
I'm back! Usually I don't make a big deal about it if I drop off for a week, but this time I am because I am back in multiple senses! Back with good books and back mentally. Last week was a rough one, as I was dealing with health stuff and just too tired to … Continue reading Reading Roundup #73: Some of It Was Good
I can't decide if I'm a cranky reader lately or if books are messing with me on purpose — because buttons were definitely pushed this week. At least I know that Anne Shirley Blythe will never, ever fail me. Let's start with her and work our way down. Anne of Ingleside (Anne of Green Gables … Continue reading Reading Roundup #72: Don’t Mess With Texa(n)s
Another week, another roundup! It's a mixed batch this time, with some romance, some murder, and some old-fashioned drama. Likewise, some books were hits, and one almost made me swear off one of my favorite authors of all time. I KNOW. It's a lot for one week, and I'm still recovering. Jo's Boys (Little Women … Continue reading Reading Roundup #71: Sugar and Spice and Hearts Made of Ice
I threw myself into reading this week and was rewarded with a full shelf of good books, ranging from wholesome slice-of-life to magical horror. Most of what I have to say about these tales are in the reviews themselves, so let's get to it. The Undaunted (A Series of Worthy Young Ladies #3) by Kate … Continue reading Reading Roundup #70: Boys & Girls, Kings & Queens
Hello, friends. I hope you're all taking care of yourselves and each other. It's been another hard week for many of us, and I admit I've been staying offline a lot. As always, of course, reading is a great comfort, and so is writing! Madeline over at The Bookish Mutant tagged me for the Pride … Continue reading Pride Recommendations Book Tag
As a reader, I take the words of Jane Austen for my motto: 'I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other." I deserve good books and will accept nothing less — and if I have to, I'll rant about what I and fictional characters deserve until I find it! … Continue reading Reading Roundup #69: Nothing but the Best
I love a good adventure or a mystery as much as the next person, but there is something uniquely satisfying about seeing characters unravel the mysteries of their own souls. In each of this week's books, the protagonists struggle to know who they are and what they want, but by the end, they're all a … Continue reading Reading Roundup #68: To Know Thyself is the Beginning of Wisdom
I didn't know what to expect going into Thank You, Next, as it's my first Andie J. Christopher book, but it left me with mixed feelings. There are some real bright spots here — the wacky premise, the leads, their friends, GRANDMA LEXI, MY LOVE — but the material doesn't quite rise about some messy … Continue reading Thank You, Next by Andie J. Christopher
I honestly don't have some clever intro this week — I just read a lot of books while trying to avoid the news, and I have some thoughts. I wouldn't recommend all of these books to everyone, but I would definitely recommend each of them to someone, so if one of these sounds like something … Continue reading Reading Roundup #67: One for the Books
