You guys should know by now that I love me a good tag, especially when it’s filled with tea spilling. This tag was created a few days ago by Nicole & Her Books and I knew I needed to try it as soon as I saw it. I’ve never been shy about my unpopular and/or [...]

Top 5 Tuesday: Books I Didn’t Get to in 2019
Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly book discussion with a new topic every Tuesday hosted by Shanah of Bionic Book Worm. It’s each blogger’s job to pick five book-related things (though you’re welcome to pick things from other media, if necessary) that fit the topic. This week’s topic is books we didn’t get to in [...]
Most Anticipated Books: May 2019 Releases
So… I meant to post this a week and a half ago. Alas, the day I planned to write it I came down with a migraine. And then I had other scheduled posts I had to get to first. And now over half of my list is released as of today. But… now at least [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: 2018 Honorable Mentions
I know, I know. I said I’d be back to my regular posting schedule last week and then immediately went MIA again. All I want to do is *gun shot* *gun shot* *cash register noise* make it up to you. I will do that by giving you a few surprises. First, today’s T5W post is [...]
December 2018 Wrap-Up
New year, new content! But first, I have one more loose end I have to tie off before I leave 2018 behind for good. I’ve got to tell you about all the books I read in December. During the final month of 2018, I read four short stories, two short story anthologies, five novels, and [...]
If You Like That, Try This!: The Young Elites Chain Reaction!

I usually only recommend things based on one specific piece of media (for example, I recommended other [...]
The Love Triangle Game
So, it’s been a while since I’ve done a good old-fashioned game tag. This one was created by BookTuber Jesse the Reader. It’s not unlike the RIP It or Ship It Tag, in which you put a bunch or character names (from all walks of book) in a hat, jar, or some other kind of [...]
Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2018!
Well, June is almost over (wasn’t it just January?). What better way to celebrate than to take a look back at all the books I’ve read so far this year? I’ve been a bit disappointed in the quantity of books I’ve read, but the content has been pretty decent. Mostly, this just gives me a [...]

May 2018 Wrap-Up
This month, I felt really good about the amount I read. And then I checked Goodreads and realized I didn’t read nearly as much as I thought. The good news is the content of what I read was overall really good. In May, I read two novels, three graphic novels, and one short story. In [...]
