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?

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!

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…

January was a weird month for me. Right after the holidays I felt incredibly tired and wanted a break from nearly everything in my life. Despite it being January and wanting to jump right into the new year, I found myself in a reading slump. So I allowed myself a break to step back. Which also meant that I read far less. So in January, I read: And while this is a trilogy, I will not be finishing it for reasons I will get into later. Prefer to watch? That’s an option too. Bow Before The Elf Queen by J.M. Kearl This book is a Fantasy Romance book that focuses…
