June 2025 Reads
June was a successful reading month thanks to lots of garden time and long road trips for audiobooks. Without much more to say let’s jump into one of my all time favorite reads (probably every but definitely of this year!) GWEN AND ART ARE NOT IN LOVE by Lex Croucher is voicey, has high stakes,…

May 2025 Reads
May was a busy reading month. Thankfully I use audiobooks so I could give my eyes a break, because I read 4 author manuscripts, 2 of them at least 2 times! This is why I have to *love* the books I sign. Paying attention to details on a third or fourth read is easier when…

April 2025 Reads
Well this post comes right after (?), in the midst of (?), around the time of discourse about writers leaving reviews on books. I want to reiterate that the point of me sharing my reads is not to RATE books. I will never give a star, and I will never speak negatively about a book…

March 2025 Reads
March was a great reading month. Not only did I read a stellar manuscript that I offered on, I was on a high of reading banger after banger. A big part of the reason I read so much this month was because I utilized audio books more than ever AND I had extra time to…

January 2025 Reads
This month was a tough one. But thankfully I managed to find the time to read to escape some hardships. As you can tell, that mostly meant romances. Romance stories help me escape the world and calm my anxiety because there is a HEA (happily ever after) or HFN (happy for now). So it’s no…

December 2024 Reads
If you follow me on my author Instagram @christinekellywrites, you’ll have seen I already posted my recap, so sorry this is a bit behind. Generally, that’s the theme of the year so far for me– just a bit behind! I took the holiday break off mostly (I did do some *things* for upcoming news in…

November 2024 Reads
I think November may have brought to me two of my favorite reads of 2024! While I have read so many amazing books, two stuck out and hit me hard in my core. First, LIKE MOTHER, LIKE MOTHER, by Susan Rieger was astounding. There were SO MANY pause pebbles (as CeCe Lyra calls them). And…

July 2024 Reads
It’s funny, every month I’m like “another slow month of reading!” but this month was truly slow. First, my full time job went HARD along with some *small* life things, so I just was exhausted at the end of the day and my time was very limited outside of agenting. TBH I hardly even wrote…

June 2024 Reads
June was a great reading months. I could chalk it up to a few things, which sound like they wouldn’t be conducive to good reading….but it worked! First, I had covid. It sucked. 10/10 don’t recommend. BUT, my mind couldn’t focus on edits, or providing feedback sing my brain didn’t have gears that was clicking.…

April 2024 Reads
Happy May! To be honest, I’m a bit torn about this month because it signals school coming to a close soon (wahh less time for my work!), but also more consistent warm weather (yay!). I also worry that the coming months, with three jobs in full swing (my seasonal Vineyard job picking up), I’ll have…
