June 2022 TBR
Well, it's Pride Month. Although to be fair it feels more like Wrath month that it ever has.

May 2022 Wrap-Up
Whoops I ghosted again. I intended to post. Had a whole plan lined out. And then I just...didn't write it. So yeah, that happened. No ragrets.

May 2022 TBR
There are so many great books publishing in May that I haven't read yet, and therefore I highly suspect that my intent to read my June ARCs is going to get horrifically sidelined. I have so many books I want to read this month and I know I won't get to them all but I … Continue reading May 2022 TBR
April 2022 Wrap Up
I think April was a series of (small) revelations for me. Mostly because I missed a lot of my self-imposed goals, and also because I'm starting to realize that I can't do all the things I want to do, and mostly, because Forever and Everly's post on disconnecting from bookish social media sparked something, as … Continue reading April 2022 Wrap Up
