2020 Book Awards

January 19, 20214 Comments

Last year I did my own Book Awards after seeing a meme saying there should be an award show for books, and I wholeheartedly agreed. There should be.

Novel Nerds Group Chat!

January 9, 20216 Comments

One thing that I enjoy the most about the bookish community is just talking to other bookish people. While I'm pretty easygoing about chatting with people about books and whatnot, I haven't made many close friends. I have made one or two, and I'm very glad for them, though I would like to be chatty … Continue reading Novel Nerds Group Chat!
