March is usually one of my slower months of reading, but this year... I read a lot more. Granted, we've all been at home since about the middle of the month, which leaves a lot of extra time for reading. Oddly though, I feel like I got more reading done before I started working from … Continue reading March Haul and Wrap Up
Hey all! I hope you're all fairing well during this challenging time in the world. It's definitely not easy, but as long as we all work together and support those on the front lines (health care, first responders, etc) we'll beat this thing! Meanwhile, I've been looking forward to the Magical Readathon coming up because … Continue reading O.W.L.’s Readathon TBR
Much of our country has gone into quarantine, or lock-down, as a way to prevent this COVID-19 virus from spreading. I'm sure you all are just as sick of hearing about it as I am, but unfortunately, it's our reality. The best thing we can do is to do our part to help stop the … Continue reading 10 Books to Read While in Quarantine

Let's talk about the book series for a moment and how long is too long for a series? We all pretty much know and love the Harry Potter series, which consists of seven books (we do not count The Cursed Child, ever). Given the length of the later novels, it seems like a pretty large … Continue reading Length of a Book Series

As always, February flew by after the five years that was January, yet somehow I was still able to get through seven books for the month. It's surprising because I didn't read as fast as I usually do, nor did I pick up any mangas to up the numbers. One of the books though, I'd … Continue reading February Haul and Wrap Up
Since this an anthology, I will rate the stories individually. Overall though, I enjoyed most of the stories in this collection and I loved how they all connected in some way. Usually, it was by mentioning characters that appear in other stories or the restaurants. Not to mention the themes of each were either food … Continue reading Review: Hungry Hearts
January started off strong with reading, but kind of slowed down as I started going through some personal/spiritual things mid-month (which feels like a lot longer, honestly). I can't really explain it, but my fellow Christians will know that sometimes we go through rough patches in our walk with God. Mine happened right after I … Continue reading January Haul and Wrap Up
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
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
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
