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 [...]
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 [...]
October 2018 Wrap-Up
Spooky season is, unfortunately, over. It always goes by too fast. Fortunately, this year I decided to read exclusively dark and spooky books. That way, not only did I stay in the spirit all month long, but I can then make spooky season live on through this post. At the beginning of the month, I [...]

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 [...]
The Meme Book Tag
Before I get into this post, I just wanted to point out that today is this blog’s one-year anniversary! I can’t believe it’s already been a full trip around the sun. I’ve loved creating and writing for this blog so much. I can’t wait to see what the next year has in store! And now [...]
Monthly Wrap-Up: March 2018
As far as reading months go, March was only slightly better than February. In February, I read one book. In March, I read two. The good news is, I thoroughly enjoyed the books I read. So, call it quality over quantity. While I’m still hoping to get my reading pace back on track, I’m not [...]
