One year ago today, JeevesReads.com was born! While I’ve been reviewing ARCs for two years (and reading romance MUCH longer than that), it wasn’t until this time last year that I decided to start up my blog. There was a little bit of trial and error to the process, but things really kicked into high gear in 2020. I’ve reviewed 300 romance novels (so far!) in 2020, and have posted countless deals, recommendations, and best of the month lists.
While you might be most familiar with my weekly deals and steals list, reviews and recommendations take center stage on my website. I’m actually considered to be one of the top 250 reviewers on all of Amazon, with over 1,000 reviews to my name. I don’t sugarcoat, and I’m happy to tell you all the reasons why I personally loved (or didn’t love) a particular book. Reading romance is something I’ve done since I was probably too young to do so, and has only become a bigger hobby of mine since the world went a little crazy.
So in honor of JeevesReads.com’s special day, I’ve made sure that all of my archives are up-to-date and ready to offer recommendations! You can always find them in the tabs, but I’ve got lists of my Best of the Month, Themed Recommendations by trope or vibe, and an alphabetical list of all the reviews from each year. Don’t forget my weekly Deals and Steals list, which is updated on Sundays, or my monthly Release Calendar, which goes up at the end of each month.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my website! Hopefully it has helped you find a few new reads.
Books Reviewed in 2020
You can always find this list under the Reviews tab on this site, but I’ve freshly updated it to indicate which books are my favorites of 2020 so far. Just click on a title and it will take you to my review for the book. With 300 books reviewed in 2020 so far, there’s bound to be something for everyone!

Thank you! Yes, I definitely read entirely too many ARCs but I’m the type of reader who can’t help looking up spoilers if a book has already been released, lol. My reading experience is better this way.
