It’s that time of year again! The 20 Books of Summer Challenge, hosted by Cathy, is back! This is my third year joining in and after nailing it the last two times, I have high hopes for myself that I will be successful once again. (What are the odds I just jinxed myself?) The aim […]

At the end of last year, I mentioned doing a post focusing on some of my most anticipated releases for the new year. Since then, it seems everyone and their dog has done a post like that so obviously my idea wasn’t as original as I thought it was. Anyway, I decided to share this […]

What an absolutely amazing year for books it has been! Just like last year, I thought splitting things up between series and stand-alones would help narrow down the list but nope. A Top 10 was never going to happen here. Despite the fact that my reading mojo was up and down like a bloody yo-yo […]
