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! As we move into the final quarter of the year, I thought it'd be a good time to reflect on some of my New Year's bookish resolutions to see what I've fulfilled and what I can still work on. My reading's been sort of rocky this year--I think in part due to all… Continue reading 2024 Reading Goals Review and Check-In
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! Long time, no talk. I seem to be saying that a lot, I'm sorry about that! Based on the way the rest of my life is balancing out at the moment, I think I'll be popping in and out on this blog for a little while before getting a more precise schedule going… Continue reading 2024 Mid-Year Freak Out Book Tag (+ Mid-Year Wrap-Up)
Hello, everyone! I've been fairly inconsistent on this blog the last month or so, but for good reason. With the redirected energy, I've been getting more reading in (finally!) and--for better or for worse--have been doing a fair bit of book shopping. I now have stacks of books laying around because I do not have… Continue reading A Cumulative Book Haul from Thrift Stores, Used Bookshops, & Yard Sales
Hello, everyone! How's your spring been going so far? It's a good balance of April showers and bright, sunny days here, so I'm quite pleased! I think it's going to be pretty hot next week, actually, so maybe I'll wind up lamenting that... I'm very slowly getting a handle on my reading but I've not… Continue reading Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag
Hello, everyone! I'm wishing you all the happiest spring. ❤ It hasn't been my favorite since I was a little kid, but I was enjoying the winter so minimally, that I'm elated to see the burgeoning blooms and suggestions of warmer air. Right now, the weather here has swung back into the seasonal gloomy rain,… Continue reading Springtime Books, Films, & Music – Renewal, Whimsy, and Flourish
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! The snow that I was so excited about a few weeks ago has gone and left a miserable chill in its wake (we did, though, have a surprisingly warm pocket which was much appreciated). January always feels like such a long month but I can't believe we're already a month into the year… Continue reading Top 10 New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2023 | TTT
