I am aware that it's mid March and like half of these books are out already. And to that I say... Who cares? I haven't read them yet, so I'm still excited for them! Really I'm doing you a favor, because this just means you don't have to wait to read some of these. You're welcome. 😊 As always, I'm focusing on books for the first half of the year and books that are either standalones or the...

I read fewer books this year than I have probably since I started blogging ten years ago, so there's actually not ten books here. That felt like too many, and there were only six books that I rated 4.5 or 5 stars. Two of which are a duology and three of which were rereads (though I do still count rereads because if a book was that great more than once, it deserves recognition more than once). I...
