It's only fitting that after binge-watching Glee for the 4th (maybe 5th?) time that I went ahead and picked up Naya Rivera's memoir. While celebrity memoirs are a hit or miss, this book was definitely a hit! Before she hit the big-time on Glee, Naya was on shows such as The Royal Family, Family Matters, … Continue reading Review: Sorry Not Sorry
I recently re-watched Glee, and somehow convinced one of my friends at work to watch it as well. I'm sort of coming off my high of reading Glee fanfiction (I'm still reading it, just not as much each day) and thought to myself, "I wonder if there's a Glee Book Tag?" And what do you … Continue reading Glee Book Tag

The first time I picked up this book, I was expecting a gut-wrenching story that would utterly destroy me. This didn't happen, though for some reason after reading it a second time, I did like the book a little more. Maybe because I picked up on some things that I might've missed the first time... … Continue reading Review: This Is Where It Ends

May was a much better month for reading. I found my groove again and I cannot be happier. I still didn't read as many books as I usually do in a month, but life has been happening... so I'm not too upset about it. In general, May was just a fantastic month, or at least … Continue reading May 2021 Wrap Up
We've all looked at our TBR piles (whether the actual pile or our Goodreads lists) and felt the dread of knowing that we might not ever read some of those books because there are just so many good books to read and not nearly enough time. I'm sure we've all felt the pressure to want … Continue reading Unloading My TBR Pile
Add on Goodreads | Buy on Bookshop A classic story being retold as a murder mystery? Um, yes please! While I haven't read Pride and Prejudice myself, I couldn't pass up the premise of this book taking Austen's well-known characters, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, and throwing them together to solve a murder case. In … Continue reading Review: Pride and Premeditation
Classics. The books we have either read or not read, and either love or hate. Stories so well-known that even if you haven't read them, you know at least what the story is about, or even a few quotes from them. For most of us, the classics that we have read were while we were … Continue reading Classics On My TBR

Based off of different Asian legends, these stories retell those legends with interesting spins to make them a little more modern. These are legends we don't see in the mainstream, and I can honestly … Continue reading Review: A Thousand Beginnings and Endings
April was very similar to March in that I didn't get much reading done, especially in the second half of the month. In fact, I think I went two straight weeks without reading a book. I was still reading though... only it was fanfiction. I somehow went from reading Descendants fanfiction to Glee. The Gleek … Continue reading April 2021 Wrap Up
