If you haven’t figured out that I’m a big nerd yet, this will surely paint that picture for you. I’m 100% okay with that.

He was on a psychology of cult TV shows panel with an author who worked onContinue reading “Dr. Travis Langley and “Stranger Things Psychology: Life Upside Down””

“The Diamond Eye” By Kate Quinn

I grew up with a special interest in World War II, which carried over into the books I picked to read as an adult. I’ve fallen into the romance and thrillers hole over the last few months, so it was refreshing to pick up a WWII novel as part of my Hype TBR game forContinue reading ““The Diamond Eye” By Kate Quinn”

“Love and Other Words” From Christina Lauren

It’s hard to scroll through TikTok or Instagram lately without seeing Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren pop up at least once or twice. I’m a pretty big fan of them and their work, so this was a no brainer addition to the TBR pile. Love and Other Words is a dual perspective secondContinue reading ““Love and Other Words” From Christina Lauren”

A year ago, I was at a book festival and spotted a really flashy jacket. The guy was handing out goodie bags to people in line.

Nona Jones Is “Killing Comparison”

Mazey Eddings Shares “Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake”

Not too long ago, I shared a review of a dental school romance that surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. Now, Mazey Eddings is back with a sequel for A Brush With Love, but Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake feels so different, you could easily read it as a standalone. The two books tieContinue reading “Mazey Eddings Shares “Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake””

Sarah MacLean’s “Heartbreaker”

I started reading romance during the pandemic, but somehow hadn’t cracked open a mass market bodice ripper until the Hell’s Belles series came along. Christina Lauren gushed about Bombshell, so I had to give it a try since they have the best recommendations. Sarah MacLean did not leave me disappointed. So, I was very excitedContinue reading “Sarah MacLean’s “Heartbreaker””

If you haven’t heard of or read The Love Hypothesis at this point, how big is the rock you live under? Because that book is daggum everywhere and I’m here for it it. It’s a good one.
