• Plans for 2026

  Last year I had said that I was going to dial back on reading. I really, really meant, yet ended up reading over 800 books. I blame the economy, with little employment opportunities, there is only one to spend your free time. However, this time I really mean it. I’m gearing up for more job…

• Girls Survive: Graphic Novels

  I’m sure everyone thought I was done with this series. I was too until a little search brought up that the series has graphic novels. Not graphic novel retellings of the series, but all new stories and historical disasters. The completionist in me had to read them all.

• Romance Novels: The Spice Factor

  Here’s another question that will hopefully spark some discussion. I’ve noticed as I read historical romances that the steam factor increases book by book. I’ll use Joanna Shupe’s Fifth Avenue Rebels as an example as it’s the series that I really began to notice the trend. The first book almost always features a virginal heroine…

• Contemporary vs Historical Romance: Which do you prefer?

  No review or rankings this time, I just thought I’d put a question out there. I know, it’s unlikely since I don’t get many comments but if you want to comment, please comment!! Anyway, on to my question, in a recent poll on instagram I asked if people prefer historical romance or contemporary romance? Contemporary…

• Reading Log 2024

  1, 212 books! Or 1, 213. I forgot if added The Making of Gone with the Wind to my count as the last book of the year, and I’m too tired to recount everything again. Still, you read that right. Over a 1,000 books in one year. If you don’t believe look down below at…

• What was the first horror book you read?

  Mine was Salem’s Lot which was a gift from a friend for my 13th birthday. Apparently, she thought my interest in celebrity ghost stories and reincarnated ghost children extended to horror in general which is not really true. Psuedo-documentaries of real life hauntings I can handle, horror movies and books not so much. But I…
