Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison | Lovelight #1

I decided to treat myself to a Kindle Unlimited subscription for my birthday this year, and I’m so so happy that my first read using KU was Lovelight Farms, because WOW it was amazing! I was seeing it hyped up a lot on Booktube and adored the look of the cover, so decided to give it a shot despite not usually being a fan of the friends-to-lovers romance trope. B.K Borison has converted me! Not only did I love the romance, but the Christmas Tree farm setting, the small town, the quirky cast of characters…I wish I could crawl inside […]


Thriller Mini Reviews: More Than You’ll Ever Know & I’m the Girl

Thriller Mini Reviews: More Than You’ll Ever Know & I’m the Girl

I honestly can’t remember how More Than You’ll Ever Know ended up on my radar- probably a Goodreads email or round up post. However, I do remember the striking cover and vaguely knowing that it was a thriller/mystery. When my library hold came in, I didn’t rush to read it, and almost let it slip through the cracks. I’m so glad I didn’t, because it ended up being one of my favorite reads of 2022! Told in a dual POV with alternating timelines, More Than You’ll Ever Know centers around Cassie, an aspiring true crime writer, and Lore, an infamous […]

Kindle Unlimited: Let’s Try This Out!

So as a new year’s treat to myself, I decided to try out Kindle Unlimited (they were running a deal for $4.99 for your first month). Initially I had always ignored KU (aside from signing up for a free trial last year to read a specific book and never reading anything else), but lately I’ve been watching a lot of booktubers who have recommended a lot of indie romance titles and SO MANY of them are on KU. I decided to give it a shot, and figure if I can read 2-3 books off of it per month it will […]

An Indiscreet Prince by Georgie Blalock | Review

I love a good historical fiction novel and have been on a kick with watching British Monarchy content lately (probably thanks to the latest season of The Crown on Netflix). I’ve especially started being more intrigued by the lesser known royal figures who often had fascinating stories of their own. I believe I came across An Indiscreet Princess while browning Goodreads one day, and was immediately interested in a story regarding Queen Victoria’s most rebellious daughter. I decided to give it a shot and really enjoyed this novel exploring the life of Princess Louise and her fight for freedom from […]

What’s On My Library List [6]: Getting Back Into the Reading Game

What’s On My Library List is an original feature I started to highlight some of my most anticipated reads I have on hold through my local library that I am eagerly waiting for! With a renewed passion for reading in 2023, I plan on leveraging my digital library access more than ever. It’s really changed the way I collect books and 90% of the physical books I purchase are from books I have already read (via library or ARCs) that I enjoyed and want to add to my library. This has helped me budget more effectively, add less clutter to […]


Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2023 | TTT

Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2023 | TTT

Spare | January 10 | I watched and was enraptured by the Harry & Meghan doc on Netflix, and I’m so intrigued to see what kind of tea is spilled in this book!  The Fraud Squad | January 17 | This is giving me Bling Ring meets Crazy Rich Asians meets Inventing Anna vibes. I love the whole trope of average girl infiltrates high society and/or royalty. Begin Again | January 24 | I love Emma Lord and I LOVE YA/NA books set in college (there needs to be more!) College is such a magical, unique time when you get […]

Rivals by Katharine McGee | American Royals #3

It’s a rare treat when a series gets better with each installment, but that is exactly the case for me when reading the American Royals series. While I was always drawn in by the premise of what it would be like had America become a monarchy, with each book I also become more and more invested in the characters, more impressed by the plot twists, and more engaged with the story. Majesty, the second book in the series, ended with Beatrice taking more control in her role as Queen rather than be bullied by her advisors, and I was happy […]

Disney Dream Honeymoon Part 3

Day 7- Animal Kingdom Y’all, it’s been 4 years and I am just now getting around to finally finishing my Honeymoon recap (: I wrote the drafts in late 2019 and was waiting to add pictures and then we all know how 2020 went…better late than never, I guess? To start from the beginning, check out part 1 and part 2 here! PSA that things might have changed in Disneyworld since my experiences- everything mentioned in this post took place in 2019! Ok, so I truly feel like Animal Kingdom is the park that everyone sleeps on. It’s sort of […]


Best Books I Read in 2022 | Top Ten Tuesday

Best Books I Read in 2022 | Top Ten Tuesday

Another year, another best books list. I decided to only do a roundup of my top 5 books this year since I only read ~40 books. The past two years I have definitely read less since I’ve become more involved in other hobbies, but I’ve really missed reading and want to re-prioritize books and blogging in 2023 (while also putting less pressure on myself- but that’s for a separate post). Unsurprisingly, 4 out of the 5 books on my list are the continuation of series that I already enjoy, as I’ve found myself gravitating more toward trusted authors and sequels […]

Kingdom of the Feared by Kerri Maniscalco | Kingdom of the Wicked #3

Kingdom of the Cursed was one of my top (if not the top) books of 2021, so I definitely had high hopes coming into the final book (I think?) in the series. I even reread KotC to make sure I remembered everything when diving into Kingdom of the Feared, including reading some deep dives on potential theories on Reddit, lol. When my pre-order came in, I promptly retied to my library and read the first half in one sitting, then slowly savored the remaining half over a period of weeks because I did not want it to end. While it […]
