Cozy Fantasy: An Underrated Genre

I have not read a ton of books in this genre yet but I love what I have read. The cozy fantasy genre looks at the small scale, these characters just want to live their lives in simple wholesome ways and when they fight they are fighting for their own lives. Don’t get me wrong,

Holiday Book Exchanges

I ended up doing two book exchanges this year and they were both a lot of fun – if very different. Pachouli Joe’s Book Exchange Pachouli Joe’s is one of my favorite local indie bookstores and for the holidays where they did a book exchange. Customers wrote out a list of books that they wanted

Christmas Book Haul

I got so many books for Christmas and book related things. I will 100% admit that I’m a bit nervous to start The Stormlight Archives. I mean The Way of Kings is 1001 pages in this edition and the other books in the series are longer (there are 5 books total… so far). That being

2024 Top and Least Favorite Books

I read a stupid amount of books this year. I clearly did not review all of them and due to that fact I decided to my list my five least favorite and five favorite books. Note: these are books I read this year not necessarily books that were published this year. I was also busy

Independent Bookstore: Arts & Letters

I was in Granbury, TX recently and while exploring the Granbury square realized they had a bookstore that I hadn’t been too yet. Arts & Letters is an adorable independent bookstore that I could have explored a whole lot longer if I had had the time. Nerd moment, this shop had all the normal book

Sorry for the temporary hiatus, I’ve been editing. If anyone has tips on how to find a literary agent or knows one, please feel free to send them my way. I have also been reading a lot and it has been a while since I have done a series review. The Maple Hills series is

Book Review: Temple of Swoon

I haven’t been doing my normal book reviews for lots of reasons, mostly though because I have been writing and now editing. Seriously, getting that first draft done was not what I would call easy but editing is a whole different beast. That being said, this book I won through Goodreads and I got it

Book Reading Update

I’m currently on a contemporary romance book binge, mostly, with a couple of historical romances and some fantasy thrown in. Seriously, I have a problem but that’s okay because it is books. Like two books a week kind of thing, but at least I’m not bringing home pets or something. Actually that not quite true,
