Below are some reading challenges that will hopefully encourage me to get some more reading done!!

* I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, all thoughts and opinions are my own!* Title: Best Kept Secrets Author: Tracey S. Phillips Published: October 8th, 2019 Genre: Adult Fiction, Thriller AMAZON | GOODREADS   Synopsis: Best friends tell each other everything. Even their deepest, darkest secrets--pinky promise. Right? Morgan Jewell and Fay Ramsey are enjoying their last summer together before college. Fay is shy, with a controlling mother, and Morgan is the perfect, wild, loud-mouthed yang to Fay's ying. But when Fay is found dead, Morgan's entire world crumbles. Years later, Morgan is still haunted by the abrupt end to her best friend's life. She knew Fay held a secret in those final days, but Morgan, now a homicide detective, has failed to make a picture out of the crooked puzzle pieces she left behind. Nothing makes sense. The leads have run dry. Until she's called to the scene of a murder: a woman whose body is left ma...

Well, I am very sad to see October go, but now I can give you guys a monthly wrap-up! I hope you all had a wonderful month this autumn, and I can't wait to hear how yours went!

It's finally October, it's finally fall time- that lovely time of the year where the leaves change colors and I can wear sweaters like no tomorrow (not like I don't do that regularly though...) and where I can drink Dunkin' Donuts Pumpkin Spice coffee! It's not a secret that I'm coffee-obsessed, so you can imagine how crazily happy I am that I can get my favorite coffee at one of my favorite times of the year now :) So this post will be spreading that Pumpkin-October-Fever ~ I personally have a hate/love relationship with pumpkins. I hate pumpkin pie but love pumpkin spice coffee, I love carving pumpkins, but I hate eating them. Anyone else have this problem? No? Just me? Oh well then.... Let's spice it up this season~ Some Pumpkin Spice recipes for you guys that I tried this past month!

I know that some of you are probably wondering why in the world I put dramatics for the month of September, well...   I can be a very dramatic person when I want to be, and that happened to describe how I felt most of the month. To put it simply I had a lot of ''life things'' going on and let's just say that sometimes, we have every right to be dramatic about at least one thing if it matters to us.   Such as when writing a novel -cough, cough- one can become very dramatic and protective over her first draft when someone tries to read it. *Hint hint* So while we go over the usual topics for my wrap ups, think about something dramatic that you experienced this month and remember that we all have our moments when we go feral like a wild animal- in which I discovered myself this month. ANYWAYS- Onto the post!! ~ Oh, For The Love Of Baking ~ A baked treat for you, a baked treat for me!   I was so surprised in my first Wrap-Up how many of you lov...
