Book Review: The Heiress by Molly Greeley

I'm struggling a little to find the words to describe this book, and how much I loved it. The Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh is very much a character study of Anne de Bourgh, the frail cousin of Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. She is a character that doesn't even get a…

Historical Romance Readathon *Weekend Edition* TBR

Am I super late posting this? Yes, yes I am. I LOVE historical romance, specifically the Regency, Victorian, Georgian time periods (though I will occasionally branch out). I honestly can't say how many I've read. I didn't really start keeping track of my reading until I joined the book community. I know I started reading…

Book Review: The Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty

If you know anything about me, you know that I have gone hard for The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty. These books and these characters are some of my all time favorites. To say I was excited for (and terrified of) this last book, The Empire of Gold, is to say the absolute least. The…

*Results* Keep or Unhaul?

I just moved almost two months ago. I know I've been a little quiet here, but with moving and having to keep working during this tough time, it has been difficult to find motivation to blog after work and on the weekends. I'm really hoping to start blogging more though! So to recap, I picked…
