January 2023 Wrap Up

February 3, 2023February 1, 20232 Comments

What a rough first month of the year. If you remember, my mom and I both tested positive for Covid on the first of the year, so that was fun. It took a while, as we did end up with secondary issues of bronchitis (my mom) and bronchial spasms (me). Basically, the same thing as … Continue reading January 2023 Wrap Up

Most Anticipated Books of Early 2023

January 10, 202317 Comments

Good news today, I'm negative for Covid, finally! Still have a dumb cough though, and I heard it can last a while. Whatever, it's better than feeling like total trash. Now I just need to build up my stamina of moving around again, and exercise. I'm not even sure if I have ten books for … Continue reading Most Anticipated Books of Early 2023

Happy New Year everyone! We made it through another year... and what a year it was! Just as I did in 2021, I destroyed my Goodreads Challenge of reading 75 books and ended up reading 123 books!! What?! Never in my life have I read so much. Of course, I did hit a serious slump … Continue reading Top 10 Books of 2022

December 2022 Wrap Up

Happy New Year indeed... so both my mom and I started the year with a positive Covid test yesterday. Yay. Neither of us are severe with symptoms, but we're making sure to rest, stay hydrated, and take the medicines we can to manage the symptoms. Praying that we'll both be better soon, especially my mom … Continue reading December 2022 Wrap Up

My 2022 DNF List

December 31, 2022December 28, 20221 Comment

We made it y'all! Happy (almost) New Year! Who else is ready for 2023? I will say it again and again, I'm glad I started DNF-ing books when I can't get into them because life is way too short to read books I'm not enjoying. And there are way too many books that I want … Continue reading My 2022 DNF List

November 2022 Wrap Up

December 3, 2022November 29, 2022Leave a comment

November was the worst month I've had for reading this year. Which is fine, it's not like I need to read 11-16 books a month to be happy, but it was frustrating because I wanted to read something but at the same time nothing appealed to me. The only thing I wanted to do all … Continue reading November 2022 Wrap Up

‘Midnights’ Book Tag

November 15, 2022November 12, 2022Leave a comment

Let me start off with the fact that I'm not really a Swiftie. I've just never been a big Taylor Swift fan, but I've liked some of her songs here and there. But for some unknown reason, when Midnights was released last month, I decided to give it a listen all the way through and … Continue reading ‘Midnights’ Book Tag

October 2022 Wrap Up

November 3, 2022November 1, 20222 Comments

October started off strong, but like a couple of years ago, I've hit a slump. I think this time it's because some of the last few books I've read were just "meh." That, and I think a seasonal depression has hit, as I'm getting bored with pretty much anything I do. Even blogging. I was … Continue reading October 2022 Wrap Up

Books I Recently Added to My TBR (October 2022)

October 17, 2022October 11, 20226 Comments

As I usually say, every time I finish a book that's on my TBR, I end up adding three. I think there was some confusion on my last post like this where some people thought this was a book haul post. However, the books listed here are not necessarily ones that I've purchased; they're just … Continue reading Books I Recently Added to My TBR (October 2022)

Alternatives to Harry Potter

October 13, 2022September 16, 20222 Comments

Or, books to read if you love Harry Potter. Whether you're looking for an alternative to the Harry Potter books because you despise J.K. Rowling or you loved the Harry Potter series so much (like me), you want to try to experience those feelings again (but let's face it, nothing will beat reading HP for … Continue reading Alternatives to Harry Potter

Comfort in Fanfiction

October 8, 2022September 9, 2022Leave a comment

We all know fanfiction is a huge thing. It used to be that reading fanfiction made you weird, and maybe it still does, I’m not sure. What I do know is that it seems more mainstream now than when I was in high school (I graduated in 2009, if you’re wondering) so it doesn’t seem … Continue reading Comfort in Fanfiction

One of my favorite manga series. It’s so cute (and only 3 volumes!). I definitely recommend this one to anyone new to manga so they don’t get overwhelmed😅
A series I highly recommend. It’s 12 books long, but you wouldn’t know it with how fast it goes by. Eye opening and intense is the best way to describe it.
My review for Love on the Brain is up on my blog! Even though I have a bad relationship with science, I enjoyed reading about women in STEM.
#QOTD: Do you read graphic novels?
Already started a book for the #tbrtacklechallenge! Going with the shortest book since I do have to get it back to the library soon 😅
Happy February all! January was a rough month for me personally, so here’s hoping this month is filled with better news and blessings!
