I am so glad this was May’s #COYER book club pick! I’m not sure I would’ve picked it up otherwise. Romancing the Duke by is a historical romance loosely based on Beauty and the Beast. I’m a sucker for all BATB retellings so I was really excited to dive into it. Y’all I turned on […]
Happy Wednesday y’all! This week I’m eagerly waiting on Curses by . I love retellings. I particularly love Beauty & the Beasts retellings. I cannot get enough of them. This one is not only a BATB retelling, but it is also gender-bent. The beast is the girl and the beauty is the guy. I cannot […]
Happy Sunday y’all! Last week was busy. Little man had two summer camps: VBS in the mornings and a coding class in the afternoons. We had fun, but were definitely tired by the end of the week. Even though I know the pandemic isn’t over yet, it was nice to have a bit of normalcy […]

Happy Wednesday y’all! This week I’m eagerly waiting on Red Wolf by . This is a retelling of Red Riding Hood with one big twist: the girl is the wolf. I personally am super excited to read this one. It sounds just like my kind of read: a darker, twisted retelling of the original story […]
Happy Tuesday y’all! It’s been a few weeks…erhm months since I’ve participated and I really like today’s topic. Today’s topic is “Books I Loved that Made Me Want More Books Like Them.” I am constantly falling in love with books that in turn make me seek out books like them. Below is a list of […]

Happy Sunday y’all! It’s been almost an entire year since I’ve buckled down and done a Sunday post. In truth, my life is kinda boring, which is a good thing, so I’ve not had much of anything to share. This last month was so chaotic and busy, but also a fantastic reading month. We finished […]
