Twice Shy by Sarah Hogle | ARC Review
After Hogle’s debut was one of my top 5 novels of last year, the bar could not be higher for this one. Maybe … too high? Watch on to find out!
Shipped by Angie Hockman | Romance Novel Review
Don’t worry guys; in between all these presidents, I’m still reading a LOT of romance novels. The thing is that, sometimes, I don’t have anything interesting to say. That is not the case (I think) with this one – which at once was super cute but also set off some pet peeves of mine. Let me explain!
We created our own reading challenge | Reading Challenge Announcement
Wherein Gretchen and Michaela talk about the mini challenges they are plaining to use to help guide their buddy reads this year!

Soulswift by Megan Bannen | ARC Review
Did I really do it? Did I really read a YA book PLUS an ARC on time? I really, really did. I’m so proud! This book ripped out all my emotional insides and I give it four stars. Now, back to wallowing in my book hangover.

Yeehaw, here we go again! Ep. 4 of my reading challenge log gets us from the first Roosevelt to Calvin Coolidge, minus Warren. G. Harding. Sorry, Warren!
You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle | Book Review
This time around, I review a single romance novel instead of, um, 90. This is one of my top 5 books this year and certainly top funniest book I’ve read so far. There are spoilers as far as this is a romance novel and it follows the entirely predictable HOA ending.
