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
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
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
This was a pretty slow reading month. Partly due to the fact that most books I tried reading I couldn't get into, but also because I was a participant in NaNoWriMo this year for the first time. While I won that, I didn't exactly win at reading. I guess I was just more caught up … Continue reading November Wrap Up
Perfect Chemistry is a classic tale of girl meets boy from the wrong side of the tracks, as well as a classic tale of a bet that turns into more. Alex Fuentes makes a bet with another member of his gang involving the school "princess" Brittany Ellis, which ends up leading into the two falling … Continue reading Perfect Chemistry – Review
Theodore Boone is the son of two lawyers and go figure, he himself wants to be one. He spends more time at his parents' law office and the courtrooms than he does, well, anywhere else. For a thirteen year old, he knows just as much about the law as the many lawyers and judges in … Continue reading Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer – Review
A story of music and mental illness... this book portrays both themes well in my opinion and is quite captivating as you read the tale of Dominique and Ben. Dominique is in high school and is a dancer, or was, until about six months ago when she was no longer able to afford her lessons. … Continue reading Someday, Somewhere – Review
Listen to Your Heart follows Kate Bailey as she is forced out of her comfort zone when her best friend convinces her to take a podcasting class and by the teacher's choosing, is made one of the co-hosts of the show. Kate is fairly private and would rather spend the rest of her life being … Continue reading Listen to Your Heart – Review
For the most part, Fangirl was a book I enjoyed reading because I found a lot of myself in Cath. I'm very introverted, don't do well meeting new people, can't stand parties, and aspire to do well in school/work. Cath is much happier reading and writing her fanfiction for the Simon Snow series, which is … Continue reading Fangirl – Review
It's November already and that means that it's almost time to start getting into the holiday mood. While of course here in the U.S. we have Thanksgiving coming up, but meanwhile the rest of the world is preparing for Christmas (and other holidays). While I do love Thanksgiving myself, there aren't really any books I … Continue reading 10 Holiday Book Recommendations
