I thoroughly enjoyed reading I Love You: Recipes from the Heart. And nothing has surprised me more.
Why? Because the author is… Pamela Anderson.

You know I’m all about the self-help, self-care, and woo-woo stuff these days, Tartlets. So, I was excited when author Robin Emtage offered me an ARC of her new book Keep On Glowing: Your Guide to Graceful Empowerment and Unstoppable Glow. It sounded right up my alley.

So many people have recommended that I read Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times.
Maybe it’s because I love hygge and cozy winter vibes so much. Maybe it’s because I speak frankly about dealing with seasonal depression. Or, maybe it’s because I essentially work three jobs and need to rest, goddammit.
Whatever the reason, I was very excited to get my hands on a copy of Wintering and glean what pearls of wisdom I...
Beth Kempton's Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year: A Little Book of Festive Joy is a delightful holiday read.
I’m always searching for Christmas books that are a little outside the box. Yes, I want something with more substance than a rom-com. However, I don't want someone dying or discovering they have cancer around the holidays, either. (Elin Hilderbrand's Winter Street Series, I'm looking at you.)
Even though I usually read fiction at...
Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout is a book that 20-Something CJ wouldn't have looked twice at.
Let's fast forward (quite) a few years to, well, now. CJ's in her early 40s (and apparently speaking in third person). She has a great career and several side hustles that she loves.
And she's exhausted from trying to fit everything in.
So, you better believe she/I clicked Order on bookshop.org and tracked the...

Truth time: Who here doesn’t like their day job? (Hiiiiiii.)
Who here wishes they could do something else for a living, but you don’t know what that “something else” is?
Who here does know what that “something else” is – but is afraid to venture down a new path since the one you’re...

How I discovered Decoding the Stars
I actually met author Allison Scott before I'd even heard of Decoding the Stars. We hit it off and soon started talking about ghosts...
