April 2026 Reading Wrap Up
Better late than never (again)... April was full of great reads! Devour the Snake by Nikki St. Crowe - ★★★★★ Maybe I’m biased because of my love for Peter Pan retellings…but this book was amazing! I’m so in love with Roc and his character has so much depth in this book. I also loved how you could just feel for James and his imposter syndrome right from the start. You could just feel what the characters were feeling and I loved that. Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon - ★★★★☆ This book

March 2026 Reading Wrap Up
Better late than never... March wasn't a great book month, but not every month can be stellar. Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins - ★★★☆☆ This was a reread and I listened to the audiobook this time. I original had this at 4 stars from when I read it before, but after this reread I lowered it to 3 stars. It is still good and I love the characters and the story. It just wasn't as amazing as I remember it being, especially now that I've read more books. Mockingjay by Suzanne Colli

February 2026 Reading Wrap Up
Wow! 10 books in February! Let's dive into the reviews! Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score - ★★★★★ This is my new favorite romance book! The romance went from a slow sizzle to fiery passion in the most natural way. They felt like real people in a real relationship with real problems to overcome. It didn’t feel like a cookie cutter storybook romance. The plot was also amazing and evolved so well without relying on the romance to drive it. It focused on character growth sep

January 2026 Reading Wrap Up
What a great start to the year! Let's dive into the reviews! The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson - ★★★★☆ Another life changing read! Mark writes this lesson in a way that just resonated so easily with me. It felt like he was just sitting there talking to me while I absorbed everything he said. He gave real and practical examples of not giving a f*ck and how that can look in your life. I think giving these examples makes the content of the book so much easier t

November 2025 Reading Wrap Up
So, what did I even read this month? Let's dive into the reviews! The Poppy War by Nikki Erlick - ★★★★★ I lost track of the amount of times I said “oh sh*t” while reading this book. The twists and connections that are weaved throughout the book are intriguingly written. The book is about a facility called The Poppy Fields where people go to sleep for a month or two to help get past the hardest parts of their grief and wake up on the other side. You’re taken on a journey by pe

November 2025 TBR
I don't know why I am making a TBR for November because I never stick to my TBRs, but I'm doing it anyway. Let's see if this mood reader can stick to a TBR for a change. First things first... Before I start going off on another TBR, I need to finish some of my in progress books. Right now this includes: Book Clubs Between all of my book clubs, these are the reads I have for November. Destroy Me Please - Alchemised by SenLinYu (hardcover) Dark & Dirty Fairytales - Cinderalla

October 2025 Reading Wrap Up
Ok, I am actually surprised at how many books I've finished this month! (Spoiler alert: it's 17!) As always, let's check our goal progress for the year first... The only letters I have left for the 2025 ABC Challenge are Q, V, Y, and Z - the tough ones, of course...but I've got some books lined up for these already! I'm pretty sure I won't meet my goal for reading books I bought this year, but let's at least see how far I can get! So, what did I even read this month? Let's di

September 2025 Reading Wrap Up
Wow, I can't believe that September is already over! As we approach the end of the year, I decided to take a look at my 2025 reading goal and see where I stand with it. I am honestly shocked that I am still (mostly) on track. However, some of my other goals are not as on track. I've noticed I've read a lot of books from the library this year. Which is great, but it means I'm not reading the books that I buy (don't tell my husband!). Now, let's wrap up what I read this month.
