This is an event hosted by Sam of Fictionally Sam and Clo of Book Dragons in which book bloggers from all over get together to discuss books using summer themes. There are lots of great prompts I’m excited to respond to. [...]
May 2019 Wrap-Up
May was a better reading month than I realized. I’d thought I didn’t read much, but I actually managed to read seven books. I’m happy for me. But how was the quality? Well, it was so-so. I read two amazing books, but most of the rest were just okay. One was really bad (and if [...]
The Vampire Diaries Reread: “The Struggle” Book Talk
Hello Vampire Diarists, and welcome to the second installment of my Vampire Diaries reread and book talk. In the first one, I discussed the first book in the series The Awakening. Today, obviously, I’m discussing the sequel. Last time I posed the question of whether The Awakening holds up and found that it does not. [...]
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 [...]
The Vampire Diaries Reread: “The Awakening” Book Talk
After months of promising, I’m finally doing it. I’m rereading and discussing The Vampire Diaries. I had initially planned on doing the first three books in one fell swoop, but I have a lot to say about the first book alone. And, seeing as I don’t have a copy of The Fury yet, it makes [...]
Blog Updates: Discontinued Memes, TVD Reread, and My Blogiversary!
Happy Saturday, everyone! I thought I’d take today to talk about some changes to my blog and future projects I’ve teased.

Top 5 Wednesday: Nostalgic Ships
I realize that when I do these posts, I never explain the meme. It’s fairly self-explanatory, but perhaps I’m doing newcomers a disservice. 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 [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Books I Want to Read Before 2019
It seems like every time I make a TBR for the year (however large or small), I fall short of that goal. After all, I made one of these posts in January and failed miserably in following through. I’ve read a total of one (1) book on that list. Whoops. Hopefully I can do better [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Favorite Vampires
I vant to get your views! Okay, so vampires are considered passé now. But that doesn’t mean we don’t all still love them, at least a little bit. Plus, there’s so much lore around them! There’s no one right way to do the vampire story. Their manifestations vary so much from culture to culture. I’ve [...]
