Don't Ignore The Problem

“Ignore it. It’ll go away.” Has anyone else been subjected to this line or a similar one in their lifetime? We’ve been conditioned to ignore problems in the hope that they will take care of themselves, thus allowing us to focus on better things. But you should never ignore the problem. Here’s why: 1: Problems Fester When you leave a cut alone, does it stop bleeding? “Oh, but those are…

The June Update

Hey! I know you. It’s been a long time since we’ve last chat. Let me catch you up on what I’m doing and some announcements. My Update Do you remember when I told you at the beginning of May that I was sick? I thought it was just a common cold, but as it turns out, I had a bad case of the flu. Can you believe it? It wiped me out for two week straight. If that wasn’t surprising, I only had…

Beautiful Venom by Rina Kent

There’s something about Rina Kent’s books that scratches an itch I never knew existed. This dark sports romance was everything I didn’t know I needed. Beautiful Venom is a college enemies-to-lovers romance with a twist. We’ve been exposed to Kane in the author’s previous release, Kiss the Villain. And let me tell you, the glimpse we got of him in that story was enough to put me on edge until…

Stay Consistent

When we think of the word consistent, we think of a straight line going upwards. Or, in other words, the trend that we view as growth within things we do. Consistency in life is about bouncing back. It will never look linear. How fast can you bounce back to reach your goal? How fast can you bounce back without giving up on your dreams because you had a bad day? Consistency was never about not…

Rewind it Back by Liz Tomforde

My emotions are all over the place. I’ve never thought a second-chance romance trope would have me second-guessing my love life.  This book was filled with so much love and emotions that Rio and Hallie’s story would make me believe in love if I didn’t believe in love.  For a character to be searching for love in the previous stories within this series (leading us to believe he never found love…

Their Opinions Matter

Everyone tells you at least once in your life: “Don’t let their opinions get to you.” Which, on a normal day, would be annoying to hear when you’ve just taken something personally. However, it’s time to start listening to others’ opinions. Here’s why: 1: Constructive Criticism When you get others’ opinions on things, you can essentially see a different view of the subject at hand. For…

Don't Let Me Down

Wow. I’ve seen previews of this on Booktok and thought it would be another overrated/ over-hyped series that others were paid to promote. However, I was thoroughly surprised while I was reading this book. Granted, I didn’t realize I was reading the last book in the series. But that did not matter once I read the first sentence, which turned into the first chapter that somehow ended up with me…

Education DOES NOT Stop Post-Graduation

Educating yourself on topics post-graduation is one of the most important things. Everyone thinks learning stops once you’re handed a piece of paper. Well, reality sucks. Rather than learning with books, you’re now learning with your mind, body, and soul. If something piques your interest, you should research it. Educate yourself on as many interesting things as you possibly can. Learning…

King of Envy by Ana Huang

Another year, another sin added to the list. This book, chefs kiss. An emotional wreck is one way to describe Ayana Kidane. Successful by day but lost at night, her marriage of convenience was the topping on the cake. Not only did it make for a good plot line, but the lifeline had me in the clutches of yearning. Vuk Markovic brought yearning back to our lives. Never have I met a man yearning…

Hobbies You NEED

We all get burnt out in our daily lives at some point. “Chasing your bag” or “Grinding” is fun in games until you lose motivation because you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle. One of life’s least talked about things is how to get out of that burnt-out phase you found yourself in. To make a long story short, you need a hobby. Here are five hobbies to help you get out of that burnt-out…

Do. Not. Drive.

Some people are not meant to drive. And that’s okay because road rage is a real thing. I believe those with excess road rage do not need to be on the roadways. Let’s look at the benefits of not driving. 1: Save the Economy The environmental benefits of not contributing to the carbon footprint by reducing your part are admirable. Not only do you reduce emissions, but you contribute less…

The Monster Trilogy by Rina Kent

This series was pure perfection and has to be one of my favorite trilogies I’ve ever read. I’ve looked into what it takes to write a trilogy, and the results are exactly as I thought. It’s challenging to execute well and add in the romance genre, and you’re trying to write pure perfection for your readers. But that’s precisely what the author has done, written pure perfection. The main…

Don't Make Waves

I’ve recently been introduced to this saying. Don’t make waves where none are needed. It was confusing at first until I realized it meant don’t create unnecessary trouble. While that’s true, I was confused because I did not view it as trouble but simply trying to confront the person for answers that I felt I deserved. But as I considered it, I realized, do we create trouble with confrontation,…

The Annihilator by Runyx

Trauma happens to all of us. But putting that trauma into words that can be felt on a deeper level, is magnificent. With this dark verse series, the author created an interconnected universe. Every book was better than the next. But the Annihilator? This book was too good; I refused to put it down. I broke my sleep schedule for this book and I’d do it all over again. The Shadow Man. It’s…
