I love, love, love cozy mysteries! I think it started when I was a teenager watching Jessica Fletcher on Murder, She Wrote with my grandmother. (It’s streaming on Peacock, by the way!) There’s something about the format of a cozy mystery that just appeals to me. Most of them have a small-town vibe, which makes […]
For a long time, DNFing wasn’t something I even considered. I always finished a book, whether I loved it or hated it. Then someone asked me why, and I didn’t have an answer. Why was I so intent on finishing a book I might not even enjoy. As she pointed out, life is too short […]

October was a good reading month for me! I read a little bit of everything from romance to horror, heavy on the horror! There five others I read that aren’t on this list, from my side hustle with Hot Tree Publishing. Let’s just say that there are some fabulous books coming out from them! You […]
Sometimes I get in a reading slump. Maybe it’s right after I’ve finished an amazing read. You know, the kind that leaves you with a massive book hangover. Or maybe I’m just in a rut. Either way, I pick up a book, I put it down. Nothing feels quite right. So what do you do […]

Anyone who knows me knows that I am the Queen of Eclectic Reading. My reading tastes are all over the map! There are times when I get in a genre groove and will read book after book in that genre. But I’m also one of those weirdos that reads four or five books at a […]
It’s no secret that I love pens and notebooks, pretty papers and washi tape. It’s also no secret that I love a good spreadsheet. These two, while seemingly on opposite ends of the spectrum, can go happily hand-in-hand for a nerd like me. I have a dot-grid notebook that I use for my reading journal. […]
I’ve been a bookworm since practically birth! I loved anything with a good plot and strong characters. And my reading tastes were as eclectic then as they are now! Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey/1987 That Was Then, This is Now by S.E. Hinton/1971 Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder/1932 […]
I picked up a great historical fiction novel from Kindle First recently. It’s outside my usual reading genres, but it is SO good. Opium and Absinthe by Lydia Kang, it comes out on 1 July. It’s YA, set in Victorian New York City, full of mystery and… vampires! I thought it would be fun to […]
