July 2025 Newsletter
This was a big month. I turned 26. 😅 That means I'm officially now over a quarter of a century old. And that feels a wee bit crazy. One of my presents I got was Romanov, which is sorely lacking in a review. So I guess that'll have to be a thing now 😂 WhatContinue reading "July 2025 Newsletter"
Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese — Book Review
Right guy. Wrong time. 😭 I've never read a book like Before I Called You Mine. Granted, I don't read contemporary romance very often (usually too kissy for me 😂) but I've never read a book where the guy and girl are so clearly meant for each other, and it just isn't working because ofContinue reading "Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese — Book Review"

With Every Letter by Sarah Sundin — Book Review
You've Got Mail but WWII...and they don't hate each other's guts. 😂 With Every Letter was a wonderful book. I loved the WWII atmosphere, the history that I'd never heard with flight nurses, and (maybe my top thing) how each character grew through their mistakes. Lt. Philomela Blake, a flight nurse, has always had troubleContinue reading "With Every Letter by Sarah Sundin — Book Review"

Hello from the end of June 👋 July is about here — and let's be honest. It's one of the best months (because it's my birthday month 😂 ). June went from CRAZY busy to suddenly much slower. All the things that had immediate deadlines either were shifted or deleted, so now I'm moseying alongContinue reading "June Newsletter 2025"
Vivid by Ashley Bustamante — Book Review
I accidentally pitted two color magic books against each other in my Bookathlon. Whoops. XD Oh, well. Vivid by Ashley Bustamante is a...bright dystopian...? I don't know genre names. 🤪 Ava Locke spends her days studying at Prism, a color magic school on the continent of Magus. Prism only allows the study of Red (strength,Continue reading "Vivid by Ashley Bustamante — Book Review"
