  • 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

  • April 2018 Wrap-Up

    Well, April has been the best reading month for me since January. Not only did I finish three whole books and one short story, but the content of most was excellent. This month I read two novels, one graphic novel, and one short story. And… well, that pretty much covers it. Let’s just get right

  • 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
