She refuses to jeopardize that by hitching herself to the wrong man. Suitors are plentiful, but none of them has ever looked quite as tempting as the family friend who just rode into town…and none have looked at her with such intensity and heat. Duchess. That’s the nickname Kent Randolph gave Portia when she was a young girl. Now she’s a stunning, intelligent woman-and Kent has learned his share of hard lessons. After drifting through the West, he’s learned the value of a place to settle down, and in Portia’s arms he’s found that and more. But convincing her to trust him with her heart, not just her passion, will be the greatest challenge he’s known-an...

Amy's grandmother, Lady Mairead, insists that Amy must read while she resides at Lennox House—but not in the usual way. It turns out that Amy is a book jumper, able to leap into a story and interact with the world inside. As thrilling as Amy's new power is, it also brings danger—someone is stealing from the books she visits, and that person may be after her life. Teaming up with fellow book jumper Will, Amy vows to get to the bottom of the thefts—at whatever the cost. Well, poo. I was really excited to read this one, because... I mean, could anyone reading this rev...

Hi! So I'm trying something new this month. For a long time I've posted Stacking the Shelves weekly, but I've found that those posts don't necessarily work for me any more. Part of my hopes for 2017 is that I'm going to get fewer books to keep--whether that be books I've bought or been given for review. I have so many books to read already, so I'm hoping to whittle down those piles, as well as actually keep up with the review books I do get. And so, because I won't normally have new books to show off, I figure STS wasn't the way to go. I'm also finding it more of a chore to put together, so I'm hoping a once monthly recap will better suit me now! I'll be covering what books I got, what I posted, what books I read, my tentative TBR for the coming month, and anything else I might like to share. What Books Did I Get? For review: Caraval by Stephanie Garber This works out so well, because I was mourning not having an ARC and I'm going to...

The year is up! Can y'all believe it? 2017 is here! And while I wanted to get this up earlier, the last week of the year was kinda crazy, so I didn't get around to it. But, I can start this year off right! This list is YA exclusively, so there are certainly some historical romances I might've added, but I wanted to focus. So, in no particular order, here are my favorite YA books I read in 2016: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson Rebel Magisters by Shanna Swendson Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman I also wanted to include  Tell Me Three Things   by Julie Buxbaum, but I couldn't find my copy to include in the picture! I'm not in the least surprised that 80% of my list is essentially fantasy. Certainly if I broke down my r...
