Happy Friday! And welcome to the first Favorites list of 2026! It’s been a minute since I’ve done one of these, and I’m thrilled to be getting back in the habit. Here’s to making time for things we love, and then sharing them with others! Without further ado, here are my January Favorites for 2026!…
Romance
July Favorites 2025
Hello July, goodbye July. This has felt like the shortest month of the year. I feel like the first was just yesterday, and we’re already approaching August. July was full of good things, the days flew by, and I feel like I could barely catch my breath. I love these monthly favorites posts, especially when…
April Favorites 2025
To me, May has always felt like the unofficial start of summer. Now that it’s here, to say I’m giddy would be an understatement! I feel like I’m in High School Musical 2, watching the clock, chanting, “summer, summer, summer!” And yet, I’d be remiss to ignore April completely. I am happy to see April in…
This Summer Will Be Different Review
I’m starting to learn that there’s a certain rhythm to Carley Fortune’s books. There’s always a summer beach setting, a dual timeline, and a second chance love story. While this repeated premise can seem like the same story told over and over, somehow, Fortune writes each novel in a way that feels consistently fresh and…
A Fate Inked in Blood Review
Although I wouldn’t consider myself a fantasy fanatic, every now and then, I love to pick up something a little other worldly. There’s something about fantasy world building that always feels so addictively immersive. New countries, cultures, magic! Last year I tore through the entirety of Throne of Glass, and have had a soft spot…
March Favorites
The end of the month usually brings about a mixed bag of emotions. Excitement for the month to come, but also a sense of existential dread about the passing of time. It’s a balance ha! Thankfully, it’s finally spring, and the end of this month means we’re that much closer to summer. I can’t help…
Meet Me at the Lake Review
Happy spring! To say I’m glad to see winter go would be an understatement. The days are longer, the weather progressively warmer, and I feel like my true personality is making a comeback. Goodbye survival/hibernation mode, hello joie de vivre! Anyway, spring always makes me feel prematurely excited for summer, like wearing shorts in 60…
Spring Break Reading List
Something that I miss from childhood is the frequency of scheduled breaks. Fall break, winter break, spring break! This was always peak reading time for me, and I’d happily tear through the stack of “fun” reads that I’d compiled throughout the semester. Although I no longer have the luxury of school sanctioned time off, this…
January Favorites
New year, new list of favorites! I can’t believe that the first full month of 2025 is already coming to a close. But at the same time, it felt a bit eternal. January is usually like that–simultaneously quick and slow. With the month behind us, I’ve had the time to compile all of the different…
10 Frosty Winter Reads
When the cold of winter starts to hit in full force, I find myself leaning into all the festivity that the season brings. It’s either that, or spend too much time desperately longing for a far away spring. Although winter is far from my favorite season, there is something to be said about cozy layers,…
