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'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.

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
