Despite reading less books than years past, I would qualify 2019 as my best reading year. It was certainly better than 2018, when I only managed to read about 70 books. I read more books in 2019 by simply reading for quality over quantity. How? Well, good books are easier to finish. And so, I’ve [...]

Halloween Book Tag
In case I haven’t been obvious, Halloween is my favorite holiday. I wish spooky season lasted longer than a month. In fact, I’m considering doing a second spookathon in December inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas (in the sense that I will be mixing the two holidays together). In the spirit of Halloween, I thought [...]

Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag: 2019 Edition!
Welcome, friends and foes! It’s time for my third go at this tag. I did it back in 2017 and 2018 and now it’s time to recap my 2019 reading year so far. As you know, I’ve decided to read for quality over quantity this year. It’s really worked well for me so far (aside [...]
The Fictional Family Book Tag
Hey gang! I haven’t posted the past couple of days because I’ve been busy. Work’s been hectic and yesterday I went to see twenty one pilots with my friend Ciara. So yeah, no chance to write a post. Today I’ve been relaxing and thought I’d crank out a tag I’ve been meaning to do for [...]
Fall Out Boy Book Tag
Music and literature are my two great loves. As such, I love tags that combine the two. This tag takes Fall Out Boy songs and forms questions out of them. My emo heart loves Fall Out Boy, so I’ve been excited to do this tag since I found it. And today is the day I [...]
March 2019 Wrap-Up
I’ve got to say, even though I’m not reading as many books as I used to, 2019 has been a really good reading year for me so far. March is no exception. This month I read four novels and two graphic novels/memoirs. And I didn’t rate anything below three stars. I also DNF-ed a book. [...]
