I didn't think I'd be doing a second volume of DNF'd books this year, but here I am! Thankfully this list is a bit shorter, but it's also only covering not even two months of reading. November was a "yuck" month for reading as nothing really caught my attention. December has made up for it … Continue reading Books I Have DNF’d, Vol. II
Who else feels like we're in a limbo between 2019 and 2020? Oh, good. It's not just me. This has been the weirdest work week because of it being shortened as well as it being ridiculously slow at work. Though I will say, I'm glad I don't work in retail anymore because dealing with returns … Continue reading Books I’m Looking Forward to in 2020
First off, I have to say that I'm so happy I started this series after the final book was published. Though I still have to wait for it to come back to the library (I'm on hold for it) at least I don't have to wait an entire year for it to be released. And … Continue reading The Wicked King – Review
This was a book I'd been wanting to read for a while and I can't believe I didn't read it sooner! I read it in one sitting over the course of a few hours. Though I will give a warning, the end of the book left me a mess, even though I knew already what … Continue reading Catching Christmas – Review
Hey everyone! I hope all of your Christmases (or other holidays) were good! I had a nice two days, spending time with family and just relaxing. Even so, I was still so tired yesterday. Who else thinks everything should stay closed the day after Christmas so people can recover? In any case, I was happy … Continue reading Christmas Bookish Haul
This is a small short story collection of two stories written by Rainbow Rowell. It features Midnights, which is also seen in My True Love Gave To Me, and then the later published, Kindred Spirits. Midnights follows Margaret (Mags) over the course of a few years at an annual New Year's Eve party. The first … Continue reading Almost Midnight – Review
We all have our Christmas traditions - decorating the tree as a family, baking cookies, exchanging on gift on Christmas Eve... the list goes on. I have a few myself with both my parents. Though one of my newer ones for the past few years has been reading a small book called Librarian's Night Before … Continue reading Book Highlight – Librarian’s Night Before Christmas
The Burn of Magic is the second in the Aliens From Arapholanx series - a science fiction series about a boy, Patrick, and his adventures after he accidentally stumbles upon an alien base in the woods. While I was highly anticipating this second novel, I didn't end up enjoying it quite as much as I … Continue reading Aliens From Arapholanx: The Burn of Magic – Review
This blog post is brought to you by a meme I've seen a few times that has some merit to it. The person asks why we don't have an awards show for books and lists some different categories... so I wanted to do my own awards "show" for my top books in these categories, plus … Continue reading 2019 Book Awards
I'm sure most of you know based on my profile bios across social media that I work as a librarian at my local library. This job was a blessing that came to me nearly four years ago and it's led me to meet some amazing people, including one of my best friends. It's hard to … Continue reading Perks of Working in a Library
Simon Connolly's world is turned upside-down when he gets a text saying that shots have been fired at the high school his children, Jake and Laney, attend. Laney returns to her parents, but Jake is nowhere to be found. Then the news breaks that Jake may have had something to do with the shooting. Simon … Continue reading Finding Jake – Review
There are some people out there who read more than 100 books a year, which seems pretty insane for some people. Even I sometimes think it's a bit much, but this year I'm actually up to 76 books myself, which would've been more if I hadn't had a few reading slumps over the summer and … Continue reading How to Read More Books In a Year
Going into this book I was wary because, and I'll be totally honest here, I'm not a fan of fantasy books that include Faeries and other creatures that are in these types of books. It's usually hard for me to get into and follow. However, for some reason, I was compelled to read this book … Continue reading The Cruel Prince – Review
With Christmas on the way, I'm sure we're all busy shopping for our loved ones and maybe even doing some bonus shopping for others. I personally love being able to gift books to others, especially when I know they'll most likely enjoy the book or have had their eye on it for some time. I … Continue reading Books I’d Give as a Gift
I was actually tagged by Krista at The Bookish HedgeMom to do the Bookish Naughty or Nice Tag, and it seems like fun, so I'll give it a go! You should also go check out Krista's blog as well and show her some love if you're not following her already. So before we even get … Continue reading Bookish Naughty or Nice Tag
