Happy Thursday, friends! I love sharing my thoughts on books and everything within a novel’s pages. I love the idea of having a singular platform where I can talk about books and have people talk to me about books as well. This blog isn’t like Instagram or TikTok where the audience receives 5 second content and can scroll through endless photos and videos within the community. Blogs target niche…

One of the best perks about being a book blogger and reader with a social media platform is the being able to receive ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) or finished copies of newly released books.

Happy Tuesday, friends! It is time for my first book review of 2024! That being said, this book isn’t my first read of the year– the book review blog post for that book is coming soon– but I just had so many thoughts about this one that I had to write and post the review for it as soon as I finished reading the book, which is a rarity these days. Stay tuned for another book review coming soon…

You might be wondering; Alyssa, it’s the 6th of January NOT the 3rd why are you posting this three days late? And to that I say because I had it scheduled to go up on the 3rd but WordPress somehow did not get the memo and I only realised it now.  January 10th: Personal Trainers Many people set New Year resolutions to be more healthy, more fit, or maybe a combination of both.
