Big thank you to Turn The Pages Tours, the publisher, and the author for this advanced reading copy in exchange for my honest opinion during the blog tour.

Booktour: Stay Mad, Sweetheart by Heleen Kist
I’ll be honest, this is a difficult review for me to write. Stay Mad, Sweetheart by Heleen Kist touches on current subjects like sexual harassment and online bullying. It also starts with off-page suicide. So trigger warnings apply. While I knew it had to do with the #metoo movement, I wasn’t expecting the suicide and Read More

Reading Challenge 2021
2020 was supposed to be the year of the chonk, but 2020 had different plans. While I did read a record number of books (100+?!), it wasn’t really a chonky year. So I want to take on the challenge again. I don’t mind the slimmer books I read last year. Heck, it was a year Read More
Best Reads of 2020
This has been a strange year. I started out with a reading goal of thirty books. I ended up reading 103 books! The most I’ve ever read in a year. Yes, I’m including comics and manga too. But still, it’s a lot. Over 20k pages. And I’m not even counting the reading my own books Read More
