Hello, everyone! 2025 was an interesting year for me involving moving, starting a new job (at a library!), and a whole lot of life changes overall. Unfortunately, my reading pace suffered because of it. I spent much of the early year rereading childhood favorites, and the rest has been a little hodgepodge since. There aren't… Continue reading My 2025 Year in Books Ranked
Hello, everyone! It's been a hot minute since I've last done a Top Ten Tuesday -- I think it may actually have been for my summer '25 TBR (which, funnily enough, have some of the same books on this list)! As always, any TBR I set is very subject to change, so we'll see if… Continue reading Top 10 Books on My Winter ’25-’26 TBR | TTT
★★★★ This short story collection is a mixed bag. There are a lot of just okay stories, but also several that I really enjoyed. The book is divided into two parts: "Ghost Stories" and "Powers of Darkness and Light."Most of the ghost stories felt weaker, lacking thematic relevance and regional distinctness. "Fifty Cents", "The Death… Continue reading Spooky Appalachia by S. E. Schlosser: A Mixed Bag | Book Review
The Raven Boys: The Graphic Novel is, in my book, a nice adaptation of the source material. It definitely feels like the people who've worked on it (based on Maggie Stiefvater's novel, adapted by Stephanie Williams, and illustrated by Sas Milledge) understood the story they were working with. They've done a beautiful job translating it… Continue reading The Raven Boys: The Graphic Novel | The Strengths and Weaknesses of Adaptations | Book Review
Hello, everyone! I've had this post sitting in my drafts for quite some time, anticipating my typical mid-year interest in returning to blogging after an unannounced hiatus (I think I can officially call it a trend after 2023 and 2024). I haven't quite met my blogging/social media goals for the year so I'm looking to… Continue reading 2025 Mid-Year Freak Out Book Tag (+ Mid-Year Wrap-Up)
Hello, everyone! Major long time, no see... I'd planned to take a brief digital detox, but I've ended up being so into limited internet usage, that it's more or less become a lifestyle change. A big part of why I took a step back was so I could continue repairing my relationship with reading --… Continue reading Top 10 Books on My Summer ’25 TBR | TTT
Hello, everyone! How's your reading going for 2025 thus far? I've only finished reading a couple books but am really loving the books I'm in the middle of! On top of that, I'm so excited to read all of the books I've been looking forward to for quite a while. I thought I'd share a… Continue reading Top 10 2024 Releases I Haven’t Gotten to Yet | TTT
Hello, everyone! Over the years I've changed the way I organize my Goodreads shelves a fair bit, recently overhauling it for the first time in a while. Since I'm trying to get my head wrapped around the mess that is all the books I'd like to read, it seems apt to pick this series back… Continue reading Down the TBR Hole #9 | Rediscovering Lots and Lots of Horror Stories
Hello, everyone! Though this prompt is more targeted towards your book collection/physical TBR, I wanted to feature the books I most recently added to my "to-read list" on Goodreads (if you're at all interested in my physical TBR, I'm making it a project this year to track it here on my blog). Without further ado,… Continue reading Top 10 Most Recent Additions to My “To-Read” List | TTT
Hello, everyone! Since I didn't say this in my last post: happy new year! I hope you had a lovely 2024 and that you're going into 2025 starting on a good foot. Last year was quite busy for me, and it was the first time I've made a point to set goals. While I didn't… Continue reading Top 10 Bookish Goals for 2025 | TTT
