There are so many great authors out there and I’m on a mission to read them all! Or at least I’m trying to, LOL 😂 In Quarter 2 of 2026, I read 44 books and of those, 25 were ‘new to me’ authors. I’ve rounded up my top 6 recommendations for you to check out. […]

When I created book·cation, I had an inkling that this experience- that I so deeply craved- was something everyone else wanted, too. What I didn’t expect? For people to keep coming back!

As readers, we love talking about the books we’re reading with others. Most of the time though, we’ve already finished the book and are just sharing our overall thoughts. If you’ve ever wanted to share your play by play thoughts about your book, you might want to consider a buddy read! Buddy reading is when […]

I’m not a harsh critic 🤣 Honestly! I don’t analyze the way things are written (for the most part) and I’m easily entertained. Reading is subjective, in my opinion. I would hate to tell you that I disliked a book and you avoid it when in reality you could’ve loved it! That would be the […]
