I did something I usually try very hard not to do when it comes to book hauling, but I bought a couple of full series without having read the first book. Here’s the thing, indie romance authors are getting picked up by traditional publishers in droves which means that the
You can expect two anticipated releases post this week because in addition to my monthly releases post, I’m also going to be sharing my most anticipated books for the second half of the year later this week! July has a lot of thriller and romance releases on the horizon and
I unexpectedly acquired a huge amount of books in February but it wasn’t completely my fault!

Hi! I’m getting back into the swing of things now that March is upon us and spring feels like it’s right around the corner. I took a bit of a hiatus from posting in February and I spent most of my time binge watching all five Twilight movies, reading all
