Waiting on Wednesday 9/26/18
Okay, this is a VERY SPECIAL WoW post, because the release date of this book is so darn close! I’ve been chomping at the bit for The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy since I finished Mackenzi Lee’s first book. Oh, goodness. I’m in love with Percy and I don’t care who knows it! I can’t wait to see what kind of mischief Felicity gets up to in her own story though. I CAN’T WAIT! Felicity Montague is through with pretending she prefers society parties to books about bone setting—or that she’s not smarter than most people she knows, or that…

Some Monday Ramblings
Lately I’ve been doing a whole lot of this: and not so much of this: I’ve been in this space where I just want to CONSUME ALL THE BOOKS, but reviews aren’t coming as easily as they normally do. That might be because of what I’ve been reading lately. Halloween Bingo always brings out books that are outside of what I normally read and, while that’s fantastic, I don’t always know how to process them. I’m a Fantasy/YA/MG kinda gal. Give me a Southern Noir book, that has me bawling by the ending, and you have a babbling mess. I…

Book Blitz + Giveaway: Three Mages and a Margarita by Annette Marie
Three Mages and a Margarita Annette Marie (The Guild Codex: Spellbound #1)Publication date: September 14th 2018Genres: New Adult, Urban Fantasy Broke, almost homeless, and recently fired. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig. It went downhill the moment they asked me to do a trial shift instead of an interview—to see if I’d mesh with their “special” clientele. I think that part went great. Their customers were complete dickheads, and I was an asshole right back. That’s the definition of fitting in, right? I expected to get thrown out on my ass.…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (8/10/18)
Well friends, it’s Monday once again. I’m actually writing this on Sunday night, sitting in my cool room, and lamenting the fact that I have to get up early tomorrow and drag my behind to work. This weekend was HOT. So hopefully the week treats me nicer, and makes me want to function. Between the heat and a migraine, I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. Still, I’m chugging along on Halloween Bingo. Here’s where my reading stands. My reading is so crazy all over the place right now, so my two most recently finished books…

Is it Fall yet?
Once upon a time, I was the most summery person who ever existed. I craved sunshine, beach days, and backyard parties. Then, I graduated from college, moved away from the beach, and now I’ve become a Fall and Spring girl through and through. Bring on cool mornings, chilly evenings, and drizzle to walk around in. Bring on the first open flowers, overcast afternoons, and any excuse to sip a hot cup of tea while reading a book. IS IT FALL YET? *sigh* At least my reading this month will accurately reflect the seasons that I’m eagerly waiting for. Remember, September…
