April was a pretty good month of reading! I was so excited at the beginning of the month and was not completely disappointed by the end of the month.  So without wasting anymore time, let’s dive right in!  Swordheart by T. Kingfisher Goodreads / Storygraph Summary When a practical widow finds herself trapped by unwanted relatives, her life takes an unexpected turn after accidentally freeing a sword-bound warrior. Together, they embark on a quirky, danger-filled journey across a vividly imagined world, with humor, heart, and a touch of romance guiding them. My Thoughts Swordheart was a good read. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but it definitely felt lacking in…

I managed to stay on track with my reading goal in March, although audiobooks weren’t really working for me this month. I mostly stuck to reading on my Kindle and a few physical copies. Here’s my full March reading wrap-up, including mini reviews, plus what I’m currently reading and the books on my April TBR. I’m hoping for better luck with audiobooks this month, so we’ll see how that goes! A Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas Goodreads / Storygraph Summary Celaena Sardothien has won the brutal contest and has become the King’s champion. But not all of her loyalties lie with the crown and she hides her secret…

February started off rough. I was struggling through Onyx Storm and just not really finding anything I enjoyed. My TBR is full of books I want to read vs listen to, so that kinda held me back a little too. I’m trying to be less picky about audiobook narrators, but it’s a struggle at the moment.  So, with that being said, February did get a lot better. So let’s dive into what I did manage to read. As well as a brief list of books I’d like to read in March.  Goodreads / Storygraph Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros Summary As war looms closer than ever and enemies within their…

After a rough year of reading in 2024, one of my intentions for 2025 is to read consistently. So even though we’re starting a bit on the slower side, I’m excited about the variety of reads I’m starting the year off with.  Want to watch instead? Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas Goodreads / Storygraph / My Review Summary In a world where magic has been banished and a tyrant king determined to keep it away, an assassin is summoned. She does not come to kill the King, but to win her freedom in a competition. Against twenty-three other deadly assassins, criminals, and thieves.  If she can beat them…

While 2024 was an overall hard year, I did still manage to read a few books. 27 in total. But of the 27 I read, I enjoyed quite a few of them immensely.  So while I keep working on my book ranking for the books I read in 2024, let’s chat about some books I absolutely loved.  Want to watch instead? A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen Goodreads / Storygraph / Books-A-Million A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle L. Jensen Our main character, Freya, a shield maiden blessed by the Gods, finds herself in unwanted marriage and spends her day’s fishing while dreaming of putting an…

I wish I could write that I spent this summer traveling, visiting friends/family, and just enjoying myself. While also reading through a good chunk of my tbr. Instead, I spent my summer drowning in corporate nonsense and found myself back in old (bad) habits.  Like laying on the couch in biker shorts, mindlessly eating chips and watching whatever re-watch I settled on. Just so that my mind could have a break. My reading slowed quite a bit this summer. I read nothing in June, and then slowly got back into my reading in July. Things at work are still (unfortunately) hectic and stressful, but I’m reminding myself of why I…

May was a fun month of reading. I unintentionally fell in love with the Legends of Thezmarr series by Helen Scheurer. Other than a very short and dirty fantasy romance audiobook, I spent May (my birthday month!) with Thea & Wilder, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.  Books I read in May: Goodreads / Storygraph Wicked is the Reaper by Nisha J. Tuli Wicked is the Reaper is a steamy fantasy romance novella, and it left me wanting more.  Our main character, Rowan, is awaiting the results of The Hunt. Where the man to lay the biggest stag at Rowan’s father’s feet (he’s the King) will be…

April started off really strong, I read a couple books that I really enjoyed and then immediately hit a wall. I couldn’t seem to find any audiobooks I liked and felt so indecisive about what to read next from my tbr and the month kinda ended on a strange note.  So let’s dive in and chat about it.  In April I read: Viciously Yours by Jamie Applegate Hunter Goodreads / Amazon / Storygraph This book felt like a weird satire of a cross between ACOTAR and an urban fantasy romance novel. Like some of the story was so over the top I could not take this book seriously. Which is…

March was a fantastic month of reading. I read all fantasy romance AND all books from my TBR list. I definitely spent March filling my cup in terms of reading and all the books I read were various degrees of spiciness. So if that’s your thing, let’s dive right in! Prefer to watch? I have a video! (Link to my channel) What I Read DNF’s Currently Reading What I Read The Ever Queen by LJ Andrews  Goodreads / Amazon / Storygraph The Ever Queen by LJ Andrews is definitely one of my favorite series to date! The tension and chemistry between Erik and Livia between then first two books just…

February was a pretty good month of reading. I felt like there was so much more I wanted to read but ended up just not reading as much. I also am super bad at sticking to my TBR, primarily because I read by borrowing from my library so sometimes books I am hoping to read soon end up having longer wait times than expected. But for the most part, I can’t complain. So let’s dive in. What I Read: What I DNF’d: Currently Reading: What I Read Powerless by Lauren Roberts Amazon / Goodreads / Storygraph This book was very highly anticipated for me and I cannot say that it…
