My Book Blogging Journey: Year Three

Well, here goes: my third year of blogging in stats. (If you're interested, you can check out my 2018 and 2017 stats too.) I love making these pie charts - it's so satisfying to see what the year looks like in numbers, all the individual books I've read coming together into a greater overall picture.…

Rich People Problems

Here we are – the finale to this glittering trilogy about people with too much money for their own good and all the drama that ensues. I can’t even say how much of a guilty pleasure ride these novels have been, but what I can say is that, if you are looking for a soap…

My Book Blogging Journey: Year Two

I started this wrap-up post last year, after my very first year of blogging, and loved seeing all my stats visually. Plus, it gave me real guidance on what diversity "holes" I needed to fill in for the following year's reading. So, here I am again, sharing some fun and colorful pie charts of my…

Top Ten Reads of 2018!

Happy New Year Everybody! I almost made this post on time, but I struggled SO hard narrowing my Top Ten list down to an actual ten books (I was stuck at fifteen and kept going back and forth). But I'm here to say that I'd rather be a day late than not be happy with…

Vengeful

I read Vicious, the first book in what is now the Villians series, over a year ago. In fact, it was one of the very first books I ever officially published a review for on my blog. And it was an all-the-way 5-star review situation. Amazeballs. Anyways, I felt good about where it ended. I…

Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance

This was just one of those books that I knew I wanted to read from the second I saw it. The title and cover drew me in, but the description sealed the deal. I am a huge sucker for magical realism and this story sounded literally perfect. Having just finished, I can confirm that I…

The Secret History

This book has been on my TBR list for years. I’ve never seen it receive anything other than high praise, and the reaction I have gotten in the past upon mentioning to those that have read it that I have not, in fact, done so is always along the lines of “Then go read it…

The Fifth Season

This is one of those books that has been on my radar for awhile. In fact, I had it on my Beat the Backlist reading list for this year. And it came up again just a few weeks ago when I went through the Unbound Worlds Top 100 Fantasy Books list. Almost three years ago…

How to Love a Jamaican

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley back in April, and am a little ashamed to say that it took me this long to get to it. Honestly, I was completely drawn to the collection when I originally requested it, and was psyched when I was approved to receive it. And then, for…

The Incendiaries

This recent release is one that I was highly anticipating. I was pulled to it immediately after reading the title and synopsis and actually ordered it before its release date (which is not something I normally do). I’m not sure what exactly what it was that grabbed me so much, but sometimes that happens. After…
