  • May 2019 Wrap-Up

    May was a better reading month than I realized. I’d thought I didn’t read much, but I actually managed to read seven books. I’m happy for me. But how was the quality? Well, it was so-so. I read two amazing books, but most of the rest were just okay. One was really bad (and if

  • You know how on almost every BookTube video the BookTuber starts off with a disclaimer? That whole “This is just my opinion. You can like things I don’t. Blah, blah, blah” thing. I get why they do it, but it’s still annoying. It’s a given that anything you say is just your opinion. That’s why
