We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. - B. F. Skinner
Not only am I an artist, but I’m an avid reader of fantasy, romantasy, romance, contemporary romance, and YA. I read audiobooks and epubs, occasionally side by side. Often I am reading two books at a time. In 2023, I read 156 books! I've started reveiwing books for NetGalley and GoodReads. Occasionally I get ACR's, here are some of my reviews.
4/2024 - The Book Swap by Tessa Bickers
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐
This one is for the book lovers and missed connections. There are not many books that crack me open, this one did so slowly and with precision.

3/2024 - Attached at the Hip by Christine Riccio
⭐⭐ (2.5 stars)
Attached at the Hip is a love triangle, reality television, finding herself rom com. If you love survivor and books about finding yourself, this might be for you. It was not for me.

3/2024 - Truly Madly Magically by Hazel Beck (Book 3 in the Witchlore Series)
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐
My favorite of the three from the Witchlore series, Ellowyn and her coven are fast approaching the battle against the current evil coven in charge. Black magic, ghosts, found family, and reignited love makes this a fun read.
