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

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
Many books end up being turned into movies simply because of all the hype they generate in their book form, and let's face it, a lot of us love to see our favorite characters come to life. And when our favorite books aren't popular enough to get turned into movies, we cast the "would-be" movie … Continue reading Read or Watch First?
I hate saying that I didn't finish a book, but the thing is, life is just too short to waste time reading a book you're not enjoying. For some people, this is real easy to do.

Her first real relationship ended tragically, and she works for her mother's wedding planning company, which means she's seen wedding of … Continue reading Once and For All – Review
Friday again! Hope everyone had an enjoyable week after the holiday! This week's topic is Books That Made Me Cry, and when I say this, I mean that "ugly cry." Or in other words, the crying that leaves us a mess. I typically try to avoid these kinds of books because I hate crying that … Continue reading Five on Friday: Books That Left Me a Crying Mess

August was a pretty decent month for reading. Overall, I read 8 books, of which 2 were rereads.
