Recent Reads | The Romance Revival and Every Version of You

It’s been far too long since I’ve read a Christina Lauren book and they are absolutely an auto-read/buy author for me. Their last book was a top favorite so I had pretty high expectations for this one, despite not really even reading the synopsis. I am a fan of magical realism (this was not really that) and the science-y books they’ve had in the past (definitely that except heightened) so I was…

August TBR

My monthly TBR feature here shows my progress based on last month’s TBR, my plans for this month, and anything else I might be thinking about from a reading perspective. Sometimes I feature a little poll at the bottom so you guys can help me figure out a certain title I should read from a group of books. August TBR July was brutal. I managed to get on track and then immediately fell off the rails…

Recent Reads | Heather and What Happened to Nina?

Do you ever get a book stuck in your head so much that you just need to read it the minute it releases? That happened with HEATHER. I decided I didn’t want to wait for my Libby hold to come in and went to two different local bookstores to see if I could get it. I ended up grabbing it from the second and started pretty soon after for Summerween (which btw was a total fail this year since HEATHER…

Ranking Books by Favorite Authors | Carley Fortune

I thought this was going to be a more common series on my blog but I basically wrote one post and never tried it again! The idea came from the late Grace at Rebel Mommy Book Blog. I still miss her positivity in the book community and hope I can keep doing this post justice! Previous installments include Sandhya Menon, Rachel Lynn Solomon, Christina Lauren, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, and Taylor Jenkins…

2026 Midyear Stats

I usually like to see where I’m at halfway through the year and Storygraph has some great charts/wrap-up graphics, along with the spreadsheet I use. It would have been really nice to hit an even 50 books halfway through the year since my reading challenge is 100, but it is what it is! Here’s a quick rundown of all the books I’ve read this year along with their ratings. My average rating is…

Friday R.E.P.O.R.T. (7/10/26)

This Friday R.E.P.O.R.T will consist of what I’ve been reading, eating, planning (instead of playing, I don’t really think it works for me), obsessing over, recommending, and treating. Written on Wednesday 7/8. R / reading I was really determined to get caught up on my reading challenge and I managed to do that with the Summer Lovin’ collection. I will admit, this was a pretty bad grouping…

Recent Reads | Our Perfect Storm and The Season of Sinking

Carley Fortune quickly became an auto-buy author for me and I’ve loved all of her books so far. Four books, each rated between 4-5 stars. The premise of this one specifically got me excited because I am a huge fan of the childhood best friends-to-lovers trope. When Frankie’s fiance unexpectedly leaves her the night before their wedding, he encourages her to go on the honeymoon still to take a…

Midyear Challenge Check-in

I like to take a look at my annual/year-long reading challenges and see which prompts are missing, as well as what books may fill those gaps..and which prompts are juuuust not happening lol. I’m writing this on June 15th so it doesn’t reflect a true midpoint of the year, but just a little over. I create this post by looking at my immediate and upcoming TBR, review copies I plan to read, and books…
