Book Reviews – The Summer of Lost Things and In Time with You
So much for doing a better job this month on posting regular updates. My work life is apparently my whole life these days, even though I still am prioritizing reading, I’ve simply struggled to sit down at the computer and write. However, I do have 2 recent read reviews to share here – one for…

Yallwest and April Reading Wrap-Up
This is a very long overdue blog post. The end of April was a true whirlwind with travel for a friend’s wedding, then travel for work, and finally a stop over in Los Angeles where I attended Yallwest.

January Reading Wrap-Up
January reading wrap up is here! I honestly can’t believe I read 9 books this month. January felt like it went on forever, but also felt like a faster January than usual. It’s been unseasonably cold where I live, and I’ll admit I used Libby to get so many of these read. Without further ado,…

Holiday Romances
