The human world, it is a mess.Oh wait, that's a line from The Little Mermaid. We're here to talk about my bookshelves - which are also a mess. Which is why 2019 is the year of Project: Re-Shelf Yourself! (Shout-out to WhaleSnark @ Bookquarium for the name suggestion.)I have a lot of books, and right …

Once again, another Christmas come and gone and nobody got me books. Any other booknerds out there whose families are all "You have too many books"? (Pro tip, family: You can never have too many books.) (...She says, while making plans to unhaul an unholy amount of books... But that is TOTALLY DIFFERENT.)ANYHOO. Instead of …

Because New Year's Resolutions are something I tend to stick to for maaaaaybe 2-3 weeks (if that...), I'm not making any this year. I am making a list of goals/things I want to accomplish in the coming year, though. (It is a totally different thing, I swear!) So without further ago, here are five things …

The other day I posted about Holiday Romance ~ Books and I promised that a post would be coming to talk about movies - this is that post! I sadly haven't been able to watch as many Christmas romances as I normally do since I've been working my normal day job as well working part …
Peekaboo has written another amazing guest post for us today, this one about romantic nonfiction. When she pitched this idea to me, my literal response was "What? That's a thing?" PREPARE TO BE AMAZING, THIS IS A THING. For hardcore fiction readers, especially readers of romance, nonfiction books can be hard to read. It’s an …

I've loved participating in the 2018 Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight! I don't think I'd have stuck with blogging as long as I have (and I can't believe I've been doing this for over a year now!) if it hadn't been for this …

Happy Holidays! I love this time of year, because it means it's finally time to GLUT MYSELF ON HOLIDAY ROMANCES! Today I want to focus on holiday romances in book form. (Don't worry, I'll do another post in a couple of whiles on holiday romance movies!) Here are a few holiday romances I adored. A lot …
I can't believe 2018 is almost over - where the heck did the year go? Of course with the end of the year approaching, sign ups for 2019 reading challenges are popping up all over the place. I feel like I over committed myself in 2018 and thus didn't quite do as great as I …
Last week Peekaboo did a really wonderful guest post about ARC life (or why being a rabid book fan is actually really hard sometimes). In her post Peekboo makes some really great points, and I included some thoughts of my own at the end, especially about stress and burnout. (Especially as I sit here looking …

We’re hitting peak summertime here in the United States. The sun is our constant companion, temperatures are spiking, and all people want to do is flock to the beach to relax and cool off. Especially if you live in Minnesota, land of (over) 10,000 lakes. Elley did a post last week about her favorite beach …
