About Rita

I’m a book lover and coffee connoisseur dreamer helping you find books and authors to fall in love with. Romance books are my favorite genre to read but in truth if I am interested in it I will read just about anything. That doesn’t always mean the newest or most popular books either.

I learned at a very early age just how much I love romance and all of the hope, drama, and wickedness that can come along with it. While life can be nothing like a romance novel it is so much fun getting lost within the pages of one.

I write about that crazy household and the products we love over at Rita Reviews. I decided early on in 2018 that I needed an outlet to write more about the books I read (like 30 a month), the journey I was taking to get fit, and more. I discovered that my readers loved those posts but they were getting lost at Rita Reviews. So, I began toying with the idea of a new blog. I started that new blog and then felt like I was doing my love of books and reading an injustice. I needed to change things up so I decided to rebrand and focus solely on books and reading on the blog.

That led me to Wickedly Romance which was more than a little successful. The problem was I had boxed myself into romance and mystery only. There was no room for all of the other books I wanted to read and enjoy. That led me to Storied Conversation, the place where my love of books has room to grow. I will admit making the change was more than a little bittersweet but one that I know is the right one for us all.

Favorite Author

Lani Lynn Vale
Her books are the ones that I can’t wait for every month. She is also who I reread anytime I am in a slump.
⎯ ⎯
“I love you. I love your face. I love the way your beard makes me shiver. I love the pretty words that come out of your mouth when you’re trying to make me laugh. One day, we’re going to part, and the only thing I want you to remember when I’m no longer of this Earth is that not a day went by that I didn’t thank my lucky stars for you.”
― Lani Lynn Vale, Son of a Beard

Favorite Amateur Detective

Miss Marple
There is just something about her that is so calming and unexpected. She fostered my love of the cozy mystery.
⎯ ⎯
“Surely the whole crux of the matter is this: How often is tittle-tattle, as you call
it true! And I think if, as I say, they really examined the facts they would find that it was true nine times out of ten! That’s really what makes people so annoyed about it.” ― Agatha Christie, The Murder at the Vicarage

Favorite Dom

Ian Taggert
Ian is just great! He is powerful but also so funny. I love how he evolves over the series.
⎯ ⎯
“He stood up suddenly. “Kala, baby girl, let that little boy out of those ropes right now. Now. I don’t care if you’re playing superheroes and villains.” He stalked over and came back with a small length of rope in his hand. “I have no idea where she got that,” Tag said with a shake of his head. “And I always knew Jesse’s kid would end up being a sub. Never tell Charlie I said that.” ― Lexi Blake, Close Cover

Favorite Webtoon

Lore Olympus
I stumbled upon this one and discovered that I enjoyed it a lot. I never thought I would.
⎯ ⎯
“I will love you, even when all the mortals have forgotten about us and we are nothing but stardust.”

“You don’t need some amateur Goddess barging in on your Sunday morning.”

“I would pay you a salary to barge in on every single aspect of my life.”

I will read just about anything and my love of books knows few boundaries

Horror is the one genre that I will rarely, if ever read. There is something about it that turns me off. Although there are a few authors that I will read in that genre.

If you think I may like your book feel free to reach out. You never know until you ask.
