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
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? It's always kind of weird to get back into the swing of things after a holiday, especially Christmas and New Year's since they're so close. Anyway, today's prompt is fairly simple since … Continue reading Must Have Reads of 2020
Day two of the Bookish New Year's Challenge! Today's prompt is the best and worst reads of 2019. I've been seeing everyone's top favorites and disappointments before the end of 2019, and I considered doing those posts myself until I saw it was one of the prompts for this challenge. How perfect! Thankfully I enjoyed … Continue reading Best and Worst Reads of 2019
Happy New Year everyone! I know everyone has probably said it, but I can't believe how fast 2019 went by! I actually had a pretty good year, so I'm looking forward to what 2020 will bring! Anyway, to kick off my blogging in this new year, I joined Tabatha's Bookish New Year Challenge to do … Continue reading 2020 Book Blogging Goals – BYNC
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

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.

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

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.

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
