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! Long time, no chat. It seems like it might wind up being a little tradition of mine to become a little less active on this blog in the latter half of the year, just to come slinking back in the new year -- at least I'm hoping to post more again! Before I… Continue reading My 2024 Year in Books Ranked
Hello, everyone! Wow, it's been a while since I've last written on here. I hope everyone in the book blogging community (and beyond, of course) has been doing well! It's been a rather hectic past few months for me -- so much so that I haven't gotten much reading in (I've strangely found myself pivoting… Continue reading Summer ’24 Wrap-Up: Long Time, No Talk & Happy Fall!
Hello, everyone! I'm so glad to finally have finished this book after talking about it for so many months -- and I'm even happier to report that it was just what I've been craving all this time. That being said, I have a few things to comment on, hence this review! When I first heard… Continue reading Together We Rot by Skyla Arndt: Just What I’ve Been Looking For | Book Review
Hello, everyone! How's everyone's March going? So, I pretty much always consider myself on a "book-buying ban". In a way, I guess this could be good as it seems like I'd be fairly strict and/or principled about the whole thing. Instead, it makes my slip-ups all the more normalized. And, honestly, I'm not really complaining!… Continue reading All the Books I’ve Bought Since the New Year | Book Haul
Hello, everyone! Happy March. 🙂 I'm elated to see warmer days lately where I'm at. Spring is slowly springing! I've been waking every morning to birds chirping and singing (a bit like the ones on this cover, actually -- especially since cardinals are actually Virginia's state bird). How is March treating you so far? Whenever… Continue reading This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone: Red and Blue Make Purple (Prose) | Book Review
Hello, everyone! I just finished reading Greywaren (Dreamer Trilogy, #3), and was planning to sit with my feelings towards it for a while before trying to compose them into a review of sorts but it's all a muddled mess that I think can only be unraveled in writing. I'll be discussing both The Raven Cycle… Continue reading The Dreamer Trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater: How Much is a Spin-Off Permitted? | An In-Depth but Spoiler-Free Series Review
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
