Crooksbooks has a great roundup (and she was also kind enough to include my book tag). See what you've missed!

Monthly Wrap-Up – September 2025!

Hello, hello! I hope you’re all having a great October so far. Boy was last month a bit of a weird one. I had a mega busy September, both work wise and personally. My management cover job too…

All of Us Murderers – ARC Review

Hello, everyone! It has been quite longer than usual since my last post. I just haven't much been in the mood for blogging. Most of my time has been spent on my pets, including three new 6-week-old kittens, and harvesting and processing vegetables from my garden. I hope to be a little more present on the blog in the coming week, though, because I've got a few reviews to get caught up on.

I was thrilled to see the wonderful library on our ship, The Oosterdam from Holland America. They had some books that I had on my TBR shelf, but hadn't gotten to yet. Although I did have my kindle with me, I also read three books from the library. I really enjoyed the variety.

In just one week, Bounty Inc. will be released to the world, and you can preorder it right now so you have it in time!

Do you like the found family/ensemble of Guardians of the Galaxy? The universe of Mass Effect? The absurd humor of One Piece? This is soup of all that and more!
