February was a month of ups and downs for me in the reading department. I read some excellent books and had some disappointments as well. I succeeded in crossing a TBR Jar book off my list (Baby Teeth) and read and reviewed seven other books as well. Here are the books I read this month, […]
The nitty-gritty: A family slowly loses control of their extremely disturbed daughter in this scary, creepy domestic thriller. “Her happiness and high energy were abnormal. Mommy had turned into a balloon, and she wanted to pop her with a pin and watch her fizzle-fuzzle into nothingness.” I have finally read Zoja Stage’s debut, Baby Teeth, […]
The Friday Face-Off was created by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme. You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme! Today I’m featuring my […]
Welcome to February, otherwise known as the busiest month in SFF publishing, lol. There are a TON of new releases this month, and I’ll be reading only a fraction of them. If I had more time I’d read a bunch that aren’t on this list, but I’ve had to pick and choose, and even then […]
Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! I’ve been reading a lot of books lately where mothers and motherhood feature prominently in the story, in both good and bad ways. I also have a bunch of books with “Mother” in the title. I thought I’d combine these two things and offer up some […]

Today is such a great prompt: Animals! I’ve chosen to showcase recent reads with some kind of animal […]
March was an odd month for me. My review ratings were all over the place, and I didn’t read as much as I wanted to (but then again, when do I ever?) In my personal life, I’ve gone through a wide range of emotions about my new home. I’m dealing with serious winter conditions for […]
The nitty-gritty: Zoje Stage’s latest should have worked, but too many disconnected elements made for an overall confusing and lackluster thriller. I had high hopes for Mothered, since I’ve had such good experiences with Stage’s other books, but unfortunately this didn’t completely work for me. The premise is great: a woman struggling to pay her […]
Welcome to my first “most anticipated” post of 2023! Looking ahead at upcoming book releases is one of my favorite things to do, and today I’m focusing on releases from the first quarter of the year: January, February and March. I’ll be sharing the top five books that I hope to read each month, then […]
