September! My favorite month of the year is almost upon us! September brings not only more new books to check out, but also brings my Birthday! While September is my favorite month, it’s also one of the busiest of the year. The birth of 75% of my favorite people falls in September, it’s the end…

23 Most Anticipated for Fall 2023
It might still be 100+ degrees outside here in South Texas, but I am already craving dark fantasies, snowy thrillers, holiday romances, and horror books! I generally try and share a variety of genres when it comes to sharing my Most Anticipated; but I am such a seasonal reader, that my seasonal lists tend to…
Good Bad Girl
Mother’s Day means different things to different people. To some it’s a day of celebration, to others it’s a reminder of the worst days of your life. 20 years ago on Mother’s Day a baby was stolen from a stroller. Now, two murders exactly 20 years later, are opening up old wounds from the kidnapping…
Augst 2023 Most Anticipated
I seriously need authors to start writing slower or for the publishing companies to not publish a single thing for the next 796 months. My ‘to be read’ list is jam packed, and with so many books in August coming out, I am just never going to catch up. If I only get to read…
Dark Corners
A note before I get into my review: while this is technically the second in a series, this can absolutely be read as a standalone. There are a few references to The Night Swim, and both stories feature Rachel Krall, but the stories themselves are separate. Honestly, I didn’t even realize this was technically a…
July 2023 Most Anticipated
Summer has officially started, and ya’ll is it hot in Texas. We’ve had way too many 100+ days so far and July has not even started! The only thing this hot weather makes me want to do is sit in the pool with a cold drink and a fast-paced book! Shocking, right? During the hotter…
A Little Ray of Sunshine
Welp Kristan Higgins did it again, she made me cry, and I’m pretty upset by it. People told me this one would be lighter, so I read it on my flight up to New York last week. It’s a good thing I had a window seat and nobody next to be because I was bawling…
June 2023 Most Anticipated
While summer doesn’t officially start until June 21st, summer break is upon us as we enter June. Not that that matters when you’re an adult, but it does mean beach trips, lake trips, pool days, and sunny days are about to fill everyone’s time. I’ll be the first to admit to being an extreme mood…
The Secret Book of Flora Lea
I’ve been on an unintentional historical fiction hiatus lately but decided to dive back into it once I read the synopsis of Patii Callahan Henry’s upcoming release The Secret Book of Flora Lea. I’m so glad I decided to read this book because while it’s not actually a magical realism or fantasy story, it was pure…
May 2023 | BOTM Predictions
Welp, I sat down to put my predictions together last week and ended up never finishing them; but that is life with a toddler. Anyway, there are quite a few confirmed May picks already floating around already so while I’m adding them to my prediction list along with my other hopefuls, I won’t call them…
