August Reads

September 1, 2020

Happy Fall Y’all! Well, not really because it is still in the upper 90’s here, but I am dreaming of fall weather now that it’s September. August was kind of a “meh” month for me, reading-wise, with one really good book & several mediocre ones. Drop me a comment & let me know what you’ve been reading!

July Reads

August 6, 2020

Whew! It’s already August! I can’t believe that we’re still in partial quarantine, with no end in sight. I feel like we were all pretty optimistic at the beginning, but it’s becoming more of a struggle as time passes without getting back to normal. July was a pretty good month for reading, with some YA, some Fantasy, and of course lots of mystery/thriller. I read 7 books, which seems to be my average during quarantine. Read on to see what I read in July & let me know what you’ve been reading in the comments!

What I Read in Quarantine

June 9, 2020

After pressing pause for a week to allow other voices to be heard, I am back with a round-up of everything that I read during our 2 months of quarantine. Get ready for a long one, because I did a ton of reading while I was in quarantine! There were definitely a few big hits & a few misses. Read on to see what I read & let me know what you’re reading in the comments!

Book Reviews: Vol. VII

July 9, 2019

Hello friends! I hope that everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! We spent most of the weekend relaxing & I spent a good bit of it it curled up with a book, which you know if my happy place! I’m back today with a roundup of everything I read in June. As usual, it’s heavy on the thriller/mysteries, with a Jodi Piccoult thrown in for a little variety. I read two books by Alafair Burke this month, The Better Sister & The Wife, both were excellent! What are you reading right now?

Book Reviews: Vol. V

March 22, 2019


I have reading up a storm lately, so this set of reviews is another long one.  All in all, this was a much better set of books than my last one!  I was also lucky enough to receive two pre-releases, so a big thank you to Lake Union Publishing!  (I’ve noted those for reference, &, as always, any opinion is strictly my own.)  Finally, if you want to keep up with what I’m currently reading at any time, I added a Goodreads widget to the sidebar!  Now on to the books!

Book Reviews: Vol. IV

December 12, 2018

I’m back on this lovely Wednesday with another round of book reviews!  The cold temps make me want to curl up in front of the fire with a good book!  This time, I’ve added in a star system to give you an idea of how the books rank compared to each other.  There were some really great reads in this group (Children of Blood & Bone) & a few really not-great reads (A Simple Favor, I’m looking at you).  I’ve been reading a ton lately (some amazing thrillers!), so I’m already working on the next set of reviews.  If you want to keep up with what I’m reading in between these reviews, you can follow me on Goodreads!  As always, I’m on the lookout for suggestions, so please leave them in the comments!

Book Reviews: Vol. II

April 2, 2018

Happy Monday guys!  I’m back today with another round of my favorite books!  I’m planning to make these reviews a more regular feature since I read so much, typically 5-6 books per month.  This list is a mix of the thrillers, contemporary fiction, & YA novels that I’ve read in the last few months.  Let me know if you have any recommendations for me!
