  • Google Translates My Favorite Books

    I’m a big fan of the YouTube Channel Translator Fails. Run by Malinda Kathleen Reese, each video is a song put through several layers of Google Translate and back into English. Then Reese performs the translated song. It’s pretty hilarious. I was pretty excited when I saw bloggers doing the same thing with their favorite

  • 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

  • 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

  • Dreams of Yesteryear: A Dual Review of “Vengeful” by V.E. Schwab and “Muse of Nightmares” by Laini Taylor

    When I went to edit this post, I realized I never wrote an introduction or conclusion. Since both mini-reviews contain their own introduction and conclusion, I’m just not going to bother with one for the whole post. Let’s just jump into this. Vengeful by V.E. Schwab Official Summary: Sydney once had Serena—beloved sister, betrayed enemy,

  • If You Like That, Try This!: The Young Elites Chain Reaction!

    Well, well, well. Yet another meme I started and then promptly abandoned. The meme I’m bringing back today is the classic recommendation meme. Basically, I recommend things (books, TV shows, movies, etc.) based on what you already like. I usually only recommend things based on one specific piece of media (for example, I recommended other

  • 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.

  • Four Word Summary Challenge

    I was browsing some new blogs today, when I came across a new tag I thought was just neat. This tag is, as you can tell by the title, the Four Word Summary Challenge. For this challenge, you have to summarize a book using only four words. Those words cannot include character names or any

  • 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

  • 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
