Hiya! I figured I should pop in and post an update really quickly.
Seeing as my last post was Nov. 2018, I think my idea of a short break has obviously turned into something a bit bigger.
As much as it pains me, I don't have much free time to read any more. What little spare time I get, I spend writing. I still love to read, but I'm definitely no longer a kid who has a bunch of free time, looking for productive ways to fill it.
I will continue to post here when I do get a chance to read a book, and I will still do my best to knock out the books I've agreed to review, although I'm no longer taking review requests, as I can not guarantee I'll be able to read regularly any time soon.
Realistically though, this blog has gone from active to random at best, and that's honestly okay. I miss being an active blogger, but my life is 1000x busier than it was when I started this and was really rocking it. Everything has it's season, and I'm not able to be what I was before. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick it back up again once the season I'm in has passed.
For those who still follow, I appreciate and love the heck outta you! I hope you enjoy the posts I'll throw up in the future, and if you can spare it, send me some good vibes and reading love, ya girl needs it.
Much love and peace my dudes.
Ciao for now.

"Pushback" by John E. Stith!
Hiya peeps! I'm excited to share this brand new release with you today! It just came out yesterday, fresh off the presses, so be sure to check it out!
At his ten-year high-school reunion, Colorado investment counselor Dave Barlow, who suffers from PTSD, finds he doesn’t know one person there, and soon realizes he must outwit an unknown antagonist before he winds up dead.
“Some people dream about going to their high-school reunion in their underwear. Dave Barlow goes to his and finds himself worse than naked — unrecognized. A lovely, twisty thriller that moves like a roller coaster — racheting up the suspense, then plunging into crisis, or doing a swift loop-the-loop through flashbacks of PTSD before the climb stars again.” — Diana Gabaldon, New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series.
“PUSHBACK is a fast-paced crime novel guaranteed to keep you reading into the night. Accelerating through enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, PUSHBACK ramps up to a heart-pounding ending that will leave you breathless. Stith, known for his award-winning science fiction, really brings it home in his debut mystery. Bring on the next installment!” — Chris Goff, author of RED SKY

"Through the Glass" Blitz with Guest Post & Giveaway!
Hiya guys and dolls! Check out this suspenseful romance, by Erica Kiefer! I've included a guest post by the author (with pictures!) about what it was like to create this series, as well as a giveaway!
Through the Glass
The Window Series, #2
~Author: Erica Kiefer
~Publisher: CTP Pulse
~Published: April 3rd 2018
~Genres: Romance, Suspense, Young Adult
Still reeling from the discovery of her twin sister, Olivia struggles to face her mother’s betrayal. As Olivia and her friends seek to unravel the dark mystery of how and why the twins were separated, tensions escalate when Emma runs into her sister’s ex—who assumes she’s Olivia. When honesty is abandoned for more secrets and lies, the fallout between the sisters only intensifies. As they sift between truth and deception, it becomes clear that matters of the heart are not as transparent as they may seem.
A page-turning mystery laced with romance and emotional drama, Through the Glass is the satisfying conclusion to the Window Series duology by Erica Kiefer.
