February Wrap-Up: Folk Horror, Non-Fiction, and Bridgerton Galore!

If January was the month of taking it slow, of poring over books with intent, then February was precisely the opposite. I devoured ten books this month, compared to last month’s five. This included six Bridgerton books – I plan to read the final two, Gregory and Hyacinth’s, in March and then make a wrap-up […]

Graceless Heart by Isabel Ibanez: A Lush Romantic Fantasy Set in Renaissance Italy

💜🌙 Graceless Heart 🌙💜 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If there’s one thing I love, it’s a historical romantic fantasy.
