I have done a couple of ‘Trope Thursday’ posts and all of them have been about tropes I love. Either in general, or lists of books that fit those tropes. Today I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the tropes I dislike. There are a couple I really hate, but I do think I could also fill multiple lists with tropes I simply do not like. Today I wanted to talk about some of the ones I like the least, so let’s jump in! Continue reading “Trope Thursday | My Least Favorite Tropes”

Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Ballad of Falling Dragons – Sarah A. Parker
We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.
Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Continue reading “Can’t Wait Wednesday | The Ballad of Falling Dragons – Sarah A. Parker”
Tag| Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag 2025 Part 2
We’re halfway through the year and I’ve done my reading goals update, so that means it’s time for the Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag. Isabelle did her 2025 tag recently, and I though it’d be fun to do this one as well. So let’s take a look at my answers!

Royal Update #283
We thought it was time for a fun new post every week. In the Royal Update one of us updates you about our personal life, bookish news, what we’re reading, watching and listening to and anything else that might apply to this post. We thought it would be fun to share a bit more about our personal lives and hope you think so too!
Show Sunday | First Impression: Hacks
I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and wanted to watch an easy, funny show that wouldn’t force me to think too much. A show like Nobody Wants This or Running Point. That’s when I came across Hacks. After watching the first 2 episodes I wanted to share my thoughts, so let’s jump in!

Review| Not Safe for Work – Nisha J. Tuli
We’re in the middle of the summer, so what’s better than a romance that takes place at a work retreat in Hawaii? I would sign up for that! Nisha J. Tuli has written fantasy romances before, but I believe this is her first contemporary romance. Today I want to tell you about this book and what I thought!
A big thank you to Netgalley and Forever for providing me with an ALC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.

Bookish Beginnings on Friday | Death of a Cheerleader – Marina Evans
We have a lot of eARC’s and we want to promote them a little bit more. So we decided to do some more Bookish Beginnings On Friday. Today I wanted to share the beginning of Death of a Cheerleader. I just got this eARC and I’m really curious. The author used to be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and I hope that translates to the story. Let’s take a look at the beginning of this book!

Review| Not Quite Dead Yet – Holly Jackson
It’s always exciting when an author you love writes a new book. Holly Jackson wrote the A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series and I loved that one. Not Quite Dead Yet is her adult debut and had such an interesting concept, so I had to read it. Today I want to tell you about this book and what I thought.
A big thank you to Netgalley and Bantam for providing me with an eARC to read and review. This doesn’t affect my opinion in any way.

WWW Wednesday #91
It’s Wednesday, so time for a new WWW Wednesday to talk about my reading progress and plans. I really love these posts and talking more about what I’m reading before the monthly wrap up. Even if my reading plans change I like thinking about what I’m going to read!
So it’s time for my next WWW Wednesday. This is a weekly meme hosted by Taking On a World of Words and you participate by simply answering three questions:
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What are you currently reading?
- What do you think you’ll read next?
TTT #396 | Books I’d Like to Reread Part 2
We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is Books with Honorifics in the Title, but I hardly have any books like that. So I decided to do a second part to Candyce’s topic from last week; Books I’d Like to Reread. In the last couple of years I have been rereading a lot more and I am loving it! So I would love to take a look at some more books I want to reread. Let’s dive in!
