I made a TBR and actually stuck to it?! What a wild thought?! I really did for the most part. I also am getting to things that people have suggested for AGES. I definitely lost speed on my holiday reads the closer the holiday got - and I know I am not alone in that!
Of course for my more specific favorites and why follow the link in my bio. Tomorrow I will post my favorites from 2020!

Favorite Overall of the Month: The Hunter by Kerrigan Byrne - totally hands down. They would also give a run for favorite pair of the month! I love a morally gray hero with a lack of human emotions… not sure what that says about me but probably nothing good.
Favorite ARC of the Month: I have no chill so you all know that it is Mindy’s latest release - grumpy/ sunshine/ arm porn/ a little romantic competitiveness?! At Once was a super great ARC and a fun read!
Quote of the Month: The adorable novella from Ellie Mae MacGregor made me sweat and giggle but this line absolutely killed me - “He knew this woman wasn't his and her a** was her own but in that moment it felt like a Christmas present just for him.”
Something New: I am the last one to this party I am aware - but Joanna Shupe! I should not have slept on her for so long! I devoured her Uptown Girls trilogy and it was an unrepentantly feminist, funny at moments and touching at others - awesome series and can’t wait to read her entire backlog.
Something Old: I feel like there are three categories that are also something old… so skipping this one for this month.
Favorite Pair: Farah and Dorian by Kerrigan Byrne’s The Highwayman. This book had floundered on my TBR for sooooo loooong because I was afraid it wouldn’t hold up to my expectations with all that hype. But I was so wrong! Nearly fated mates level of childhood friends to lovers and had all the feels!
