Growing up I've always loved going to the library. I've had my card since I was a kid, and though there were periods when I didn't go to the town library, I was using the school libraries as well to get my books to read or other activities. Then of course I volunteered as a … Continue reading Reasons to Love the Library

I've done a few recommendation posts before, and I'll probably keep doing them. My past ones were Lighthearted Reads, Holiday Books, and YA Mystery books that I really love and recommend to, well, anyone.

Day fourteen of the challenge, though I have skipped a few due to not really having anything to talk about for some of them.

There were not too many new ones, since a lot of the books I … Continue reading Authors I Discovered in 2019

This is a topic I can't wait to read on the other blogs, mainly because, well, I have no blogger organization, so I'm curious to see how everyone else plans their posts and whatnot. When it comes to blogging, I'm not very organized at all. At least on the planning aspect. As of now, I … Continue reading Blogger Organization
Ah, the great debate of physical versus e-books. I did a post at some point last year about the preferred format of books after doing a twitter poll. Most people did prefer physical as opposed to digital, which wasn't surprising at all. That goes for me as well. I've always been more of a fan … Continue reading Physical Copies or E-Books?
I knew The Queen of Nothing was going to be my first book to read of the year because after finishing The Wicked King, I knew I needed to read the conclusion to this trilogy as soon as possible!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the weekend! I spent a good portion of it watching the NFL Wildcard weekend, filled with some disappointments, but the best thing that came out of it was that the New England Patriots lost and are out.

Hey everyone! I'm back for Day 3 of the 2020 Bookish New Year's Challenge! How is the start of everyone's year so far?

This year went by pretty fast, and I'm sure most of you will agree with that. The weird thing is that the first half and second half of the year feel like two completely different years! Though now that the year is wrapping up I've been preparing a bit for next year's reading plans and … Continue reading 2020 Reading Goals and Plans
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.
