Morning, everyone!
I know. This post is well over a month late. I took some time for myself. I didn’t want to be tied down to anything. And since a reading slump hit me hard, I knew it was the right time for reflection.
I hope you enjoy the post!

Monthly Wrap-Up: December 2020
Morning, everyone!
December wasn’t a horrible month. But I was glad to see the year go. My family and I mostly stand home for the month, and we binged on horror and Christmas movies. Yes, we watch them year-round. 😂
At the end of the month, my province moved into our second lockdown, so I splurged in reading.
How was your month? Enjoy the post!

Morning, readers!
October is one of my favourite months of the year. It doesn’t matter if it’s because of all the scary movies or the books. I just love October. I am living in this moment, and I cannot wait to get to these books.

Monthly Wrap-Up: September 2020
Morning, everyone!
I wish September was a better month for me and my family, but it hit more bumps than anything else. So I hope the new month is better!
At the end of last month, I took some time to deal with everything, so I hope that blogging gets back on track. I’ve missed you all.
I hope you enjoy the post.
Monthly Wrap-Up: August 2020
Morning, everyone!
You may or may not have known that I haven’t been around. So let me explain. One, my mental health likes nothing more than to wreck every single good thing in my life. Two, Buddy, our cat, has been having health issues. Yes, he’s an older former stray. So we knew he’d have those issues. Hopefully, my life can get back on track.
Now, book-wise, August overall was a great month. Kindle saved me from reality. And I’ll be forever grateful for it!
I hope you like the post!
Top Ten Tuesday | Reasons Why I Love Dark Bully Romance
Happy Tuesday, bloggers!
Dark bully romance is a hard genre to love. And given that I’m a bully survivor, I’m surprised I’ve even picked up a book with this genre. That’s not me. I don’t like it when authors fetishize or romanticize bullying. However, the authors I’ve followed do the exact opposite.
Top Ten Tuesday, originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is a weekly meme. The next prompt is the reasons why I love… And I’ve picked dark bully romance.
I hope you enjoy my post!
Most Anticipated Reads of May 2020
Morning, readers!
May is a big month for me. It’s my birth month. And typically we see a lot of new books releasing. Since the pandemic hit, I’m not too surprised to see upcoming releases pushed back or even cancelled. What I am excited about are these great new titles.
This list isn’t complete though. But here are my most anticipated books of May!
Most Anticipated Reads of April 2020
Morning, readers!
April is another isolation month, so I think we’re all in need of a good read, don’t you think? Now this month doesn’t have a lot of big headlining releases, but I thought you’d like these choices.
Mind you, this list isn’t complete. I hope you enjoy the post!

Life is a cruel game where only the most ruthless survive. It’s a truth my mother rebelled against, and she paid for it with her life. Now, I play their game. Publicly accepting the destiny that lies in wait for me when I turn eighteen.
But, behind closed doors, I plot my escape.
Trent, Charlie, and my twin, Drew, rule the hallways of Rydeville High with arrogance and an iron fist. I execute my role perfectly, hating every second, but they never let me forget my place in this world.
Everyone obeys the rules. They have for generations. Because our families have always been in control.
Until Cam, Sawyer, and Jackson show up. Throwing their new money around. Challenging the status quo. Setting hearts racing with their gorgeous faces, hot bodies, and bad boy attitudes.
Battle lines are drawn. Sides are taken. And I’m trapped in the middle, because I made a mistake one fateful night when I gave my V-card to a stranger in a blatant F you to my fiancé.
I thought it was the one thing I owned. A precious memory to carry me through each dark day.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Because the stranger was Camden Marshall, leader of the new elite and my perpetual tormenter. He hates me with a passion unrivaled, and he won’t be the only one. Fire will rain down if the truth is revealed, threatening alliances, and the power struggle will turn vicious.
My life will hang in the balance.
But I’ll be ready, and I’m not going down without a fight.
“I want to feel something real,” I reply without uncertainty. “I want to let go of these chains that bind my body. To feel like I’m in control even if it’s only an illusion.”
I devoured this all-consuming and intensely hot novel in less time than I ever imagined. It monopolized my entire time that I forgot to function. If you’re looking for an enemies-to-lovers, dark bully romance, then Cruel Intentions should be on your list! Lies, betrayal, deadly secrets, teenage angst, bullies, and hot-as-hell guys who have stolen my heart, Cruel Intentions has it all and more.
Monthly Wrap-Up: May 2019
Ah, another month has passed. I’m glad but somewhat sad to see it go. May is always a fantastic month for readers. So I’m happy to see my TBR list grow.
I’ve kept quiet on my personal life, but I have to say that even though I’m struggling, I know the book community is keeping me sane. So I want to thank everyone for all the support.
So while May is gone, I am eager to see what June will bring.
