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! So far, 2024 hasn't been much of a year of reading for me but that's not to say I haven't been consuming media and analyzing it, at least to some degree.

Unfortunately, though, that was not entirely the case. It did start off… Continue reading September-November ’22 Wrap-Up: A Farewell to Youth, A Hello to Horror, and Overhyped Novels
If it weren't for lovely (tiny) middle-grade reads like some of the ones on this list, I absolutely would not have read as many books as I did this month (though the number may still be minuscule to some, which is fair). This month featured a slumpy few weeks for me, and I didn't finish… Continue reading March ’22 Wrap-Up: Unsettling Middle-Grade, Fun/Existential Magical Realism, and Dragging Fantasy
