April 2019 Wrap-Up
I had thought this was going to be a slow reading month (given how long it took me to read the first book) and then suddenly I went on a reading rampage at the end. I mean, I only read three books and they were fairly short, but I read them in less than a [...]

Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly book discussion with a new topic every Wednesday. It’s each blogger and BookTuber’s job to pick five book-related things (though you’re welcome to pick things from other media, if necessary) that fit the topic.

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. [...]

Days of the Week Book Tag
Well, today is going to be rough. My sister took the last of my iced coffee today, so I have no caffeine. And now I have to get through a whole day at work! I don’t know how I ever did it before. I could really use a nap. Instead, I’m going to write this [...]
The Four London Book Tag
On Halloween this year, the collector’s edition of A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab was released. Even though it’s over a week later, I thought I’d do this tag in honor of that release. It poses questions based on each of the Londons in that series: Gray London, Red London, White London, and [...]
August 2017 Wrap-Up
Despite spending the past two months two books behind schedule, I managed to have a pretty damn good reading month. Granted, most of the content was middle-of-the-road, but beggars can’t be choosers. This month I finished eight books and three graphic novels, adding up to a grand total of eleven things read this month. [...]
If You Like That, Try This: The Shadowhunter Chronicles Edition
Cassandra Clare’s magnum opus The Shadowhunter Chronicles is one of the most successful YA series to date. The characters are well-loved, the plots infamous, and the ships swoony as hell. But what do you do once you’ve exhausted every word of the overarching saga? Well, I’ve found a few other books and series that I [...]
