Hey, there.

I go by many names, but the most important ones call me “Mommy”. You? You can call me Chelsea. I’m a full-time mom and copywriter by day and part-time “read-during-any-free-moment” reader 24/7. While breastfeeding, during those few precious minutes alone in the bathroom, and definitely as long as I can keep my eyes open in bed every evening.

Your time is precious. I won’t bother you with my biography, but know that if you’ve made it here, I see you. Like me, you probably enjoy finding those precious spare moments for reading, and you’re no-nonsense. You want to know what’s new, what’s worth reading, and maybe you’d like a few tips and tricks along the way. I got you, fam.

What You’ll Find Here

I started this blog to share real, honest reviews of my latest reads—because let’s be real, our reading time is limited, and we want the good stuff. Here’s what you’ll usually find on my nightstand (or propped up on the kitchen counter while I cook):

• Small-town romances – Bonus points if it’s a series I can sink into for a while.
• Romantasy – My go-to escape. If it has magic and swoon, I’m in.
• Psychological thrillers – For when I’m craving something twisty and intense (usually pulled from my ever-growing Book of the Month pile).

Join Me on My ARC Reading Journey

Because I’m fashionably late to every party, I may be the last one to dive into ARC reading—but I’m here now, and I brought snacks. I’ll take you along for the ride as I navigate everything from adding reviews to Goodreads to applying for my very first ARC with bated breath.

I Saved You a Cozy Seat to Unwind

I know how crazy life can get, and I want this space to feel like a cozy corner where you can sneak in a little you time—between naps, school drop-offs, and that truly never-ending to-do list. Whether you’re looking for book recs, reading hacks, or just want to commiserate over how hard it is to finish a chapter with toddlers around—you’re in the right place.

I’ll be posting weekly with honest reviews, bookish musings, and behind-the-scenes peeks at my ARC journey. If you love swoony small-town romances, escape-worthy romantasy, or want to follow along as a fellow mom navigates the wild world of early access reads—pull up a seat. Let’s do this together.
