With some cozy mysteries and paranormal stories. In honor of spooky season, I am once again grabbing a library haul of mysteries, finishing some mystery ARCs, and reading a few mysteries and paranormal tales that I already have in my kindle library.

I slowed down a bit with this genre. Just as in prior years, I grabbed a library haul in October for spooky season, but it was smaller as I was behind on some social media bookish challenges. I also received several NetGalley ARCs of mysteries and thrillers throughout the year. But after leveraging audiobooks for […]

Discovering new stories and tropes. Well, let’s make it official… I’m a romance reader! I’ve always listed “fantasy, sci-fi and mystery” as my main three genres, and I particularly enjoyed books that also had a romantic plotline. But over the last year or so, I’ve shifted to saying “SFF, mystery and romance” to better reflect […]

In honor of Pride Month, here are my favorite queer books: SFF (Adult & YA) Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter world has many queer characters, but I love […]

And some different goals for 2026. In 2025, I read 274 books and that total includes some novellas and short stories. My top three genres were of course fantasy, mystery/thriller, and rom-com. 122 were audiobooks that I listened to at high speeds while driving, walking the pup, cooking, doing housework or unwinding with a jigsaw […]

Hello again SFF books. Looking ahead to November/December, I’m reading two mystery ARCs and two fall-themed romcoms I found sitting neglected in my kindle library, then my focus is back to science fiction & fantasy. Here’s what’s on the SFF list: True Quest by Grant Anderson Mother of Death & Dawn by Carissa Broadbent The […]

It’s time for fall-themed books. Welcome October! I love the cooler weather, beautiful colors of changing leaves and autumn-themed reads. I have a few SFF ARCs and gifted books to finish this month, but I’m making time to read mysteries/thrillers to get into spooky season and balancing that darkness with fall-themed romance audiobooks. Here’s what […]

Then started another one. This summer, a dear friend of mine gathered a few of her friends and started a monthly book club. I’ve met three new wonderful women in the same season of life as me, chatted about two amazing books, and most recently read a 5-star magical realism book that I had never […]

I snagged audiobooks to read more this year! Just as in prior years, I grabbed a huge library haul in October for spooky season. I also received several NetGalley ARCs of mysteries and thrillers throughout the year. But I had a lot of mysteries on my TBR list that I just wasn’t picking up since […]
