A Curse of Roses by Diana Pinguicha Summary: With just one touch, bread turns into roses. With just one bite, cheese

  • End of the Year Book Tag

    Was I tagged to do this tag? No, but I rarely am, and I do tags anyway because I am a free spirit. I see this tag go around every year, but I’ve never tried my own hand at this. This year, after seeing lots of BookTubers and book bloggers do this tag, I decided

  • Bookending Summer: Down and Acrostic

    Bookending Summer is an event hosted by Sam of Fictionally Sam and Clo of Book Dragons in which book bloggers from all over get together to discuss books using summer themes. There are lots of great prompts I’m excited to respond to. Today’s prompt is by Isabelle of Bookwyrm Bites. I’ve chosen “beach umbrella” as

  • The Fictional Family Book Tag

    Hey gang! I haven’t posted the past couple of days because I’ve been busy. Work’s been hectic and yesterday I went to see twenty one pilots with my friend Ciara. So yeah, no chance to write a post. Today I’ve been relaxing and thought I’d crank out a tag I’ve been meaning to do for

  • Google Translates Book Quotes

    The other day I did the Google Translates My Favorite Books meme. It was a lot of fun, so I thought I’d do it again— with a twist. This time I’ll be taking some book quotes and putting them through several layers of Google Translate and then back into English. For each book, I’ll provide

  • The Top 7 Best Books of 2018

    Recently, I was tagged on Twitter to post my four favorite books of 2018. I didn’t do it because, well, a couple problems. First of all, the lowest I am able to narrow my list down to is seven. Twitter only allows four pictures per Tweet. I suppose I could’ve added the other three in

  • The Book Bachelor

    Lately, BookTube and book blogs have been filled with videos and posts of people doing relationship-based tags, from RIP It or Ship It to The Love Triangle Book Tag (and Love Triangle Game Part 2!). This week a new tag joined their ranks, this one called the Book Bachelor Tag. Invented by Ashley from A

  • The Love Triangle Game: Part 2

    Remember when I said a part two of The Love Triangle Game was coming soon? Well, I decided I wanted to spread the two posts out a little bit. I wanted to wait a little longer, but I’ll be out of town next week and don’t have time to write a full, brand new post.

  • The Nintendo Book Tag

    It’s been a while since I’ve done a book tag, so I went through my stash of tags I haven’t done yet. The questions on this one caught my eye, so I decided to give it a shot. Obviously, it creates questions out of Nintendo-related things. I’m not a big gamer, but whatever. A tag

  • July 2018 Wrap-Up

    This month has easily been one of the best reading months I’ve had all year. I finally feel like I’m hitting my stride again. Not only did I read more than I have been, but the content was overall pretty good. It’s enough to remember why I was once such a big reader— it’s fun!
