she read, he said

Books that have lower ratings (less than 3.7 star average) that I personally have given 5 stars to. Don’t Trust Goodreads! These are great.

This is a romance podcast now. Just kidding. I did read a lot of romantical books - and I finally caved and read *that* book. 🐉 So many little gems though! All of the books and the one DNF in April!

Starting off the summer with some cutie books, a handful of anticipated five star reads, a Bachelorette book, and some essays. Everything new I’m excited for in April, May, and June!

I finally got bookshelves! Perfect time to discuss all of the *cough* 100 books I need to read. And all of the other books I’m now dying to re-read!

Me trying to guess from the 138 books I read last year by their first line. And failing. But not quite as bad as the last time I tried this. But there’s a whole lot of me saying “wtf?” I have the memory of a goldfish and some of this didn’t ring a single bell.

So many good books, so many five stars so far this year. Also a major epiphany about being a nosey creep. Let me live. All the books I read or attempted to read in March!

All of the things my little dude loves, all of the things we’ve been up to in the last year, and some thoughts about what our year looks like next year. Sleep, food, activities, etc. Life as the mom of an official two year old!

This podcast is a hot mess. I had audio issues and lost a clip and we are just slapping it together with a glue stick and calling it a day. The 37 books I DNF’d in 2023.

I read the first chapter of 11 books to figure out what to read next. Do you know anything about any of these books? Help me with my order!

A curse, a library, and a whole lot of Dancing with the Stars stats that you never asked for. Just some rambling!

Less books this month but high ratings overall. A chunky pirate book, a heart warming mystery, and lots of nervy b’s over boys in London. All of the books I read or attempted to read in February!

I’ve been doing this for four straight years. Impossible! A major epiphany happened today before recording this so my yearly survey became a ramble about my plans for the foreseeable future. Thanks for being here, it means the world. ❤️

“It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears”
Birthday podcast! Talking about my favorite Disney songs and making a top ten—ish. 🥳✨

Some thrillers I’ve already mentioned in my wrap-up, some surprising historical fiction, and some favorite authors. All of the books I’m excited for Q1.

January is long and so is my list of read books. Starting the year off with a bang and some great books. All of the books I read or attempted to read in January!

I was not successful nor did I put a lot of effort into the challenge this year but upon reflection I didn’t do as bad as I thought? A recap of the 2023 challenge.

Favorite characters, most read genres, books that made me laugh — a reading survey of the books I read in 2023.

The best books of the year and the worst books plus the best books that I couldn’t squeeze into the top ten. A good problem to have.

Squeezing in a few more five stars and good times. The books I read and the one I didn’t in December!

Way too many romance, popcorn thrillers, and a previous DNF? I think I may regret some of these but let’s predict some five stars!

Spoiler alert… I didn’t read them all. But I also didn’t do a terrible job at predicting what I would like. Revisiting my five star predictions for 2023.

The best time of the yearrr! ✨ This year feels challenging but I am rising to it. Here’s some books for the prompts and SOS if you have suggestions for other prompts.

If you’re my husband, don’t listen and if you’re my child, this is why you only get one Christmas present. Lots of Melissa and Doug, and just the random odds and ends that get us through life. Hope this helps with your Christmas shopping!

A bunch of quick lil books to get me through a quick lil month. And some witchy stuff. All the books I read or attempted in November!

Season 2 of Ginny and Georgia took me almost an entire year to watch but it is just as great as Season 1. Gilmore Girls meets teen drama. 💜

My husband and I love The Challenge on MTV. We drafted our own teams of 16. Which team is better? MTV, a nostalgic concept. Let’s gooo.

All of the books from 2021 that I still haven’t read… yet.

I attempted another book a day challenge - but was unsuccessful. I still read entirely too many books. Some major gems, some thriller classics, and lots of drugs? Everything I read or attempted in October!

Eras things darlings! Unofficially ranking the albums (again), the Eras Movie, and the latest three albums — Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights. Happy 1989 weekend to all. 🩵

A bug oasis and Polly Pockets! A little bit of rambling and randomness.

The final book in a trilogy, an October Christmas novella, and a follow up book to a big love of mine, The Maid! The few books coming out in October, November, and December!

So few books, but two that were absolutely fantastic. Also lord help me I know London isn’t a language. All the books I read or attempted to read in September!

Do you ever hear about a show and say “I’ll add it to the list?” I actually have a physical list that I update with tv shows and movies. Tell me what I need to add! 🫶🏼

More five star reviews of books I hated. No, the characters did not have chemistry. Move along.

Schena’s tooth, the Stassi tattoo, the Ariana drama, Sherlock Stassi, the origin of tequila Katie, and the bitch slap heard around the world… everything from Season 2 of Vanderpump Rules!

Whenever I record it’s usually late at night and I’m usually drinking my little cold coffee drink. It’s when I’m the most ramble-y, and winding down from the day. Just diving into random thoughts and curiosities. 😋

Probably the best reading month I’ve had all year so far and I couldn’t even tell you how it happened. Just hitting all of my favorite boxes here. The books I read or attempted in August!

Lots of tv shows and movies that have books to thank for their genesis.

Sometimes other people like books that I hated and that’s okay… mostly. But they’re also wrong. Mostly. 😜 Reading 5 star reviews of books that I hated.

All of the books I wanted to read that were published in 2022… but I haven’t gotten to yet.

Only one DNF yay me! Some poetry, some thrilling reads, an ARC… all of the books I read or attempted to read in July.

Using math to figure out who my favorite authors are. The answers are mostly unsurprising. Thriller authors and young adult… are we shocked?

Scandoval got to me! I needed to know these people. I was so invested in the drama. Let’s do this. Vanderpump Rules Season 1!

Thrillers from all of my favorite authors and books I’m requesting from Netgalley… all of the books I’m excited for coming out in July, August, and September.

The good, the bad, and the breakdown of the books I’ve read for the first half of the year. What books have made you laugh or cry?

Better than May! All of the books I read and the lonely one DNF of June! ☀️

Similar to a “If you like this, try that” approach. Breaking down the books that I think are perfect and finding a common thread.

A Goodreads list of the newest mysteries and thrillers published in 2023! Some I’ve read, some I want to, some… who knows!

Basically my favorite kinds of books - juicy thrillers and beachy young adult drama. The vibes I’m hoping to have for the next few months! ✌️

Truly the worst month, thank goodness for Christina Lauren. But here’s all the books I attempted and read in May.
