August was definitely a weird reading month for me. Overall, I had a slow start, but I mostly finished strong with 4 full length novels and 2 novellas altogether as well as, unfortunately, 1 DNF (did not finish). I’d call that a great month looking back! Here’s a recap of all the books I finished in August 2022.

This book was just splendidly splendid. Love on the Brain is a snarky, snort-laugh and laugh-out-loud funny enemies to lovers, slowburn romantic comedy that just warmed my entire heart. Check out my latest book review of Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood.

Happy release day to Sarah A. Parker and To Snap A Silver Stem, book 2 in the Crystal Bloom series! This book utterly gutted me and I’m still dazed from the impact. Moving prose, vivid imagery, overflowing feeling and gut-wrenching emotion. This book is all consuming and soul shattering. Check out my latest book review of To Snap A Silver Stem by Sarah A. Parker.

I got lost in some amazing stories this month. From a unique murder myster series, a couple epic fantasy rereads, and a snort-laugh funny rom-com, check out the 7 books I read in July 2022.

I love a good book tag challenge. It’s such an easy way to garner inspiration for your next post, whether it’s on a blog or your bookstagram account. I love how simply it sparks that creativity in me. I thought this one would be fun to participate in. So here are mine: books I love and will read soon, my autobuy authors, my favorite genres, and the places I love to read.

I love this story and world SO much. I lost time while reading. The characters. The banter. The exciting action and adventure. And a love story that will tear your heart out and knit itself back together. Check out my latest book review of A Curse of Blood and Stone, book 2 in the Fate & Flame series, by K.A. Tucker.

I really liked my reading experience in June. Not only did I get to reread a few books, I also got to a couple of genres I typically read less of on an average basis. One of the best highlights was beginning an impromptu reread of the Throne of Glass series with one of my book besties!! Completely unplanned and 100% worth it! Here’s a recap of all the books I read in June 2022.

It’s June!! And that means we’re halfway through the year, so it’s time to recap my favorite books of the year so far. I’ve read so many good ones already! Here are 7 books I can’t get enough of (so far) in 2022.

I can’t believe May is over already! This year is flying by, but I got through some more good books this month. From epic fantasy and rereads to audiobooks and contemporary romance, check out all the books I read in May 2022.

I love getting book recommendations based on stories I’ve already loved. I also enjoy spotting similarities between books and recommending them based on those things. So, let’s dive into Part Two of my If You Loved This, Read This blog series! This time we’ve got sweeping, contemporary YA stories, intense romantic suspense novels, and a couple of paranormal thrillers.

April was an interesting month! From traveling to and fro, starting fertility treatments, and feeling a little slumpy and stretched thin generally to finding joy in baking and season 2 of Bridgerton, I feel like I barely read a wink! But I'm currently still obsessing over the world of Daughter of Smoke and Bone (through book 2!) and these 4 rom-coms tooootally pulled me through my slumpiness and brought me so much joy!

The last month or so, I’ve really been leaning hard into those things that are bringing me pure joy and just all around happiness, even that quiet happiness, that complete contentedness, despite what life is throwing at me. That’s where I’ve been thriving most especially of late and where I definitely want to stay. Here are 5 things that are bringing me joy lately.

March has to be my favorite reading month so far this year! Even though my ratings varied, every story was unique and individual, and I can still distinctly remember details and plotlines of every one (including the ones that didn’t really resonate with me). I also got to read several of my favorite genres which I'm beginning to notice really helps! Here are all the books I read in March 2022.

February was the month of slowly destroying my psyche with intense romances and strange synchronies across all the books I read lol. I swear though - basic rom-coms may just not cut it anymore! Check out the 8 books I read this February.

This book is beautiful and heartbreaking, powerful and moving. It speaks volumes. It will hurt. And it will definitely leave its mark. It certainly has on me. Check out my latest book review of All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir.

I love getting book recommendations based on stories I’ve already loved. I also enjoy spotting similarities between books and recommending them based on those things. So, let’s dive into Part One of my If You Love This, Read This blog series!

Oh look. It’s my January wrap up at the end of February LOL. I’m really not sure how this happened. The month definitely got away from me. February's will be coming soon. I really enjoyed the selection of books I got to in January though! Check out all the books I read in January 2022.

Lately I’ve been trying out some new reading apps and one of them is Literal Club! It's a brand new invite-only social book platform that allows you to track your reading and creatively review your latest favorite. It’s a lot like Goodreads but with some more exciting features! I really love it. So, let me introduce you to Literal Club!

What a great start to this new Persian-inspired fantasy series! There’s Jinn, warring kingdoms, a forbidden love story, royalty in hiding, and prophesies, oh my. So much goodness, and of course, Tahereh’s signature focus on mental health awareness. Let’s review This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi!

Check out K.A. Tucker’s latest book in the Wild Series (The Simple Wild). This story is about second chances and healing - moving on and finding peace. It does speak to some unimaginable tragedies. There’s grief and emotional trauma, but there’s also closure, growth, and healing. Ultimately, this is Marie’s love story and she’s well overdue for it! Let’s review Running Wild by K.A. Tucker
