About

This website / blog will be for the book lovers who not only love to yap about books but who also love to listen to people yap about them too. Here, I will write reviews and things about the book I loved, hated most, or both so that you can either waste your time on a book or love that you read it! I’ll post my personal TBR and briefly describe themes in the book that might interest you as well. I will write reviews on books about: Fantasy, Romantasy, “regular” feel-good Romances or heartbreaking ones that might have you staring at the ceiling for a week, some Thrillers / Mysteries, and even some Self-Help / Self-Growth ones so you can get a glimpse into my brain and maybe even have you questioning if you need some outside help. Also, some good ole SMUT that might also still have you questioning if you need some outside help.

I’m here to yap and have a good time doing it. I hope that you have fun too or at the very least, find some special books that you will forever talk and think about whether you hate them, love them, or felt too much for them. Most importantly, to me, thanks for being here.

About Me; I’ve always been a good talker. “Yapper” is what they call it now-a-days and not to brag but I’ve been told a time or two that I should be certified for it (I’ve also been told a time or two to “stfu” but…I digress…and I’ll never). So, when I started reading books, and when I fell truly in love with the stories/genres, I knew there was no way I was going to be able to stop there and not talk about them. I started to do reviews, I’m no review-ist but, I absolutely l0ve talking about the book, how it made me feel, what drew me to or away from it, and talking about talented authors who put words on a paper and made it into something so magical to read and feel apart of.

I’m a SAHM of two and over the years, I was “losing myself” (or as I’d like to put it; shedding a part of me to become something better and new although, I’m still always and forever working on it) and I desperately needed a hobby. I found “booktok” and I thought…there was no way in hell I was going to waste my time reading. Especially if it made me feel like how it used to which was bored. I ended up seeing a friend doing reviews on books and thought screw it, I’d give it a try and figured it wasn’t going to turn into anything.

How wonderfully wrong was I. I know this might all sound corny, but I’ve struggled mentally and have for years now, and besides my kids and my best friend (my husband), it’s the only thing that makes me really feel something. Something other than the bullshit that goes on in my head daily that makes it hard to look forward to things. To put it lightly, I mean I’m always down to talk about mental health, but I don’t want it to be the main focus for this “about me”. So anyways, reading and doing “small” things like this in life, help me mentally. I’ll mess up, I might sound pretty unintelligent at times, I will definitely forget a comma or two and I might go on too damn long about a book (or anything really if you’d let me). However, I have the best intentions and I appreciate you being here regardless and I hope that I can help you find your next read, friend, or more!

Alright, I’ll stop yapping and let you explore…for now.
