Series Review – Blood Like Magic by Liselle Sambury
After a month-long reading slump that had me staring at my bookshelf like it had personally betrayed me, I picked up Blood Like Magic again – and suddenly my brain was like, “Yes, this…more please.” I ended up devouring both books like I hadn’t read them before.

Nostalgic Movie Review – A Little Princess (Bring Tissues, Blankets, and Your Inner Child)
You ever rewatch a childhood favorite and realize it emotionally wrecks you on a whole new level as an adult? Yeah. That was me with A Little Princess. I went in thinking, “Oh, it’s that sweet movie I loved as a kid,” and came out sobbing like I’d just gone through emotional boot camp. Somewhere…

The A to Z Book Tag
I saw The A to Z Book Tag created by the legendary Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner and immediately said, “Oh, this is my Roman Empire.” Because nothing screams “reader with questionable impulse control” like turning the alphabet into a personality quiz for your bookshelf. Let’s get to it! Author You’ve Read the Most…

Why I’ll Never Apologize for Liking Romance Novels
Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not ashamed of loving romance novels. Not even a little. Not even when people roll their eyes and act like reading about love, yearning, or – heaven forbid – happy endings is somehow intellectually inferior to the latest 800 page “sad man wanders through existential crisis and calls it…
