Hello, everyone! How is the new year treating you thus far? I've been very busy lately, so I'm finding it easy to get worn out quite quickly. My reading has been on the back burner a bit with this transition and many new developments in my personal life, but I do plan on making a… Continue reading Top 10 Most Anticipated 2024 Book Releases | TTT
Hello, everyone! After my last post--My 2023 Year in Books Ranked--I felt my next one should be a little less...verbose. As it's the start of the new year (happy new year!) and one of my 2024 goals is to get a handle on my physical TBR, I wanted to take some time to look at… Continue reading Tackling My Physical TBR and Creating TBRs as a Mood Reader
Hello, everyone, and happy new year! I hope everyone's end of year was lovely. Most times, I come into the new year with a bit of malaise/melancholy (foreseeing failed resolutions, the imminence of aging and passing of time, etc., etc., you understand) but I feel a little better about it this year! I'm hoping for… Continue reading My 2023 Year in Books Ranked
If you're looking for a book about girlhood, then The Virgin Suicides probably isn't the one for you. Disguised as a story about just that, it tells far more about the obsessive, voyeuristic boys-turned-men that tell the story of the Lisbon girls' tragedy. Everything told is through their distorted sense of reality, calling the mystery… Continue reading The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides: Girlhood Told Through a Voyeuristic Lens | Book Review
Hello, everyone! I hope you're enjoying your respective holiday seasons! As the end of the year is swiftly approaching, I've been trying (and sort of failing) to catch up on my year-end rituals. This involved changing my Goodreads goal of fifty to forty (because at thirty-eight, fifty just isn't going to happen) and slowly starting… Continue reading Top 10 Most Recent Additions to My Bookshelf / Physical TBR | TTT
Hello, everyone! I've been hoping to get book reviews out a little more frequently but I'm in the middle of so many books right now that it's taking me a while to finish any. My philosophy on Goodreads has typically been to mark any book I'm remotely interested in as "to-read" while reserving a separate… Continue reading Down the TBR Hole #3 | Poetry, YA Fantasy, & Anticipated Releases
Hello, everyone! I can't believe how swiftly the holidays are approaching (or are currently amidst us for some). The holiday season also marks the weeks leading up to my birthday (two days before Christmas!) so it's good times. It still has yet to snow where I'm at but I'm hopeful (despite all odds). Has it… Continue reading Top 10 Books On My Winter ’23-’24 To-Read List | TTT
Hello, everyone! I can't believe it's already coming up on the end of the year -- where have the months gone? Whatever the case, I'm glad for the impending reset. It feels about time for one of those. Since I think fresh starts are best primed with some time spent tying things up and getting… Continue reading The End of the Year Book Tag 2023
Hello, everyone! Happy December. 🙂 Up until very recently, it's been quite a while since I had enough to say about a book to formulate a whole review. In my most recent library run, I picked up three books: So far, I adored Before the Devil Knows You're Here, have yet to start Black Sheep,… Continue reading You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight: A Setting Wasted | Book Review
Hello, everyone! How have your autumnal months been of late? I know fall technically bleeds a good deal into December but I tend to peg the beginning of the season at the start of the month -- meaning I'm pretty much bidding farewell to fall. At the end of the summer, I'd hoped to read… Continue reading October-November ’23 Reading Wrap-Up: Middle-Grade Fantasy, A New Favorite, and Rare Books Uncovered
