Bookish Confessions: Sometimes I Don’t Want to Read
Hey there, fellow readers! It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Sorry about that, but I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately. Either everything I’ve read has not been blog-worthy, or I simply didn’t feel like reading. I’m a big fan of book challenges, but I’ve found that I often try to get involved in everything. I get overwhelmed with having to read certain things and I lose all the joy…

Non-Fiction ARC Review: Queer Icons and their Cats
Photography books have never really been my thing. I think photography is a beautiful art form, but owning books of it never appealed to me. But when I saw Queer Icons and their Cats, I had to check it out! This collection of photographs is very cool. I loved seeing photos of these queer icons and their beloved felines. If ever I own coffee table books – and a coffee table on which to display…

TW: Violence, Stalking, Death I really like thrillers and mysteries.
