Hi, hello friends! I can’t believe 2023 is almost over, and 2024 is just mere weeks away. I’ve been pretty out of the loop lately, but I’m hoping to get back into reading more in 2024, especially given how many incredibly exciting books are on my 2024 radar! Please note: this list does not include any books published by St. Martin’s Press, in compliance with the boycott.

Hi friends! I cannot believe 2023 is already almost over — I feel like I’m constantly talking about how unbelievable it is that time is flying, but it really is unbelievable to me that 2024 is only a few weeks away. I’ve still got a few books I’d like to start (and finish) before the year’s over, and figured that listing them all out would help me prioritize and make sense of things!

Hello friends! I hope that your November has gotten off to a great start! November is going to be a busy month for me, which unfortunately, hasn’t helped my anxiety over the last few weeks — that being said, I’m doing all I can this month to keep myself calm and relaxed. Anyway! Even with the busy November (and December) that I have ahead of me, I do have some books that I’m hoping to get read before the year ends, and I figured, how better to keep me accountable than make a post about it?
Grab your favorite snacks, get cozy, and let’s chat about a few books that I’m hoping to get to before the end of 2023!

Hi friends! At the beginning of this month I visited my best friend in the NYC area, and aside from seeing some Broadway shows (yes, we did see & Juliet twice within 24 hours), we visited a lot of bookstores. Therefore, I thought it would be fun to tell you about the bookstores we visited and what I bought!
So get comfy, grab a snack and/or your favorite beverage, and let’s talk about all six of the bookstores I went to over Labor Day weekend!

Hi my little darlings! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’m so happy to be back. I’ll do a little catch up on my adventures at the end of the month with my wrap up, but today, I thought I’d expose myself for all the books I’ve been gifted and haven’t had the chance to read yet, and all the ARCs I haven’t read yet either!
Read moreLet’s Talk: What’s on my NetGalley TBR
Hi besties, happy Thursday! I hope you’re all doing well and staying safe 💜I thought it would be fun to go over what I’ve got on my NetGalley TBR!
This year I’ve been trying to be much more mindful when it comes to requesting ARCs — only requesting ARCs that I’m really excited about as opposed to just anything that sounds interesting, not letting arcs pile up, reading them in a timeline manner (well, mostly), etc, etc.
At the beginning of the year I was doing a really great job of getting through my ARCs. I read 5 ARCs in January alone and while I haven’t read that many in one month again, I have done a fairly good job of keeping my unread ARCs under control. As of now, I have 5 unread ARCs and I thought we’d chat a bit about why I’m excited to read them.
You know the drill — grab your favorite beverage, get comfy, and let’s chat about ARCs!
Read moreLet’s Talk: An Update on How I Annotate + Current Annotation Projects
Hi dear friends! As I mentioned in my June Wrap Up, I’m really trying to dial it back with reading as many books this month, and instead, focus more on my annotation projects that I started at the beginning of the year and lost traction for. It’s also been a while since my last “how I annotate” post, and I wanted to update y’all on that as well! Grab a fun beverage, and get cozy!

Well, I blinked and suddenly we’re six months through the year. While that’s…overwhelmingly disturbing because really, where is the time going — it’s also exciting because there are so many book releases during the last six months of this year that I’m super excited about.
You know the drill, grab your comfort beverage, get comfy, and let’s talk new releases.

Hello, hello, friends, I hope that you’re all doing well! I’m in that mood where I don’t really want to focus on one book, so I’m jumping back and forth between multiple books, so I thought I’d share a bit about some of the books that I’m reading this week!
Grab a cup of tea or whatever your favorite beverage is, get cozy, and let’s chat!
