  • Finally Fall Book Tag

    As the resident basic white girl of the book blogosphere, it should come as no surprise when I say my favorite season is fall. The changing leaves, the crisp smell in the air, the sweater weather– everything about the season appeals to me. Therefore, I knew I had to do this tag after I saw

  • 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

  • Today we’re taking a break from year-end lists for Top 5 Wednesday. It’s been a while since I did a T5W post, but this was a topic I just had to cover. 2019 is going to be filled with some super awesome releases. I really had to look inside my soul in order to narrow

  • 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

  • Top of the Wednesday to ya! Have I used that opening before? I don’t know. All I know is I’m using it today. Anyway, today’s topic is the top five best books we’ve read so far this year. Despite reading less content, I’ve read some great content. But what are the best books I’ve read?

  • 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
