I'm so excited by these three new releases that look like they have that Charmed (the original) feel: the frothiness of chick lit with the bite of urban fantasy! Love it! Also, seeing some popular authors dip their toe into paranormal witchy romance is just delightful...I sense a trend! So here are a couple recent … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Halloween Freebie!
Novella Time! 5 Mini Reviews
Earlier this month I participated in a readathon with my Goodreads book club, The Procrastinators Book Club, in an attempt to read seven books in seven days. Spoiler alert: I did it! But not without reading some novellas, because I had several ARCs and a couple from the library that I wanted to read before … Continue reading Novella Time! 5 Mini Reviews

Book Review: Activation Degradation
Activation Degradation by Marina Lostetter 🌺🌺🌺🌺/5 "A body is a body," Aimsley said, echoing Doc, perhaps truly understanding what they'd meant for the first time. "It's the person that matters." From the minute Unit 4 is activated, something isn't right. Its helper is panicking, something is attacking the station (which supplies most of Earth's energy … Continue reading Book Review: Activation Degradation
Top 5 Tuesday: Books That Scared Me
Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah at Bionic Book Worm, and it is my absolute privilege and pleasure to say that it is now hosted by Meeghan reads!!

Two Mini Reviews: The Lost Girls and For All Time

One I highly, highly enjoyed, and the other was underwhelming. So why am I lumping them together? I don't know! Okay, I do … Continue reading Two Mini Reviews: The Lost Girls and For All Time

October 2021 TBR
'Tis time for all things Spooky! I don't know why, but I'm really feeling themed monthly TBRs for some reason! After Sci Fi September, which was liberally speckled with contemporary romance in addition to the SFF and seeing all of the awesomely spooktastic releases coming out in October and well, considering how weird the last … Continue reading October 2021 TBR
September 2021 Wrap-Up
We are full on entering spooky season! Cue up the Hocus Pocus reruns, the pumpkins great and small, and the hordes of screaming costumed children. Halloween season is always interesting, because yes I love it but also I do not exactly participate as much as I'd like? I don't decorate the house (inside or outside), … Continue reading September 2021 Wrap-Up
