Hello book friends! Do guys know how long it’s been since I did a book tag?? Literally so long. In fact, my last book tag was the end of year book tag… posted in 2021. Whoops. So much has changed for me since then, though! Anyway, I saw this little tag over at Novel Lives and I thought it would be fun to participate. The tag was originally created by Roison, whose video you can find here. So without further ado, let’s get into the questions! quarter year crisis quarter year crisis 1. How many books have you read so…
Hello book friends! I am ready to make an effort again to participate in weekly memes and challenges. Whether I’ll actually be consistent remains to be seen… But, what better way to pick up the slack than with a Top Ten Tuesday post? Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can find all past and future prompts on her blog! This week the prompt is: A non-bookish freebie! And since I’m doing a little bit of childhood healing, I thought it would be fun to list my favorite snacks that include many from the past.…
Hello book friends! As some of you may know, Brandon Sanderson is set to release a couple of secret projects. Tress of the Emerald Sea is the first one, and while I didn’t quite have the cash to fund the kickstarter, I did have the cash to buy the regular book a few months later. So by now I’ve read it, obviously. As a side note, if someone ever decides to sell their kickstarter edition, I will likely throw money at them real fast. With that said, the regular edition looks really good on my shelves, too.Tress of the Emerald…
Hello book friends! Long time no post, I know. I really need to figure out a way to work full time, read as much as I want to, and also blog regularly… Perhaps putting down my phone more often would help… Oh well, since I haven’t posted any reading wrap ups for February and March, I thought it would be fun to do a quarterly reading check in! I’ve been quite busy with life-stuff lately, so I’ll update on that too of course. quarterly reading check in January Yes I know I’m repeating January. But it’s not really a quarterly…
Happy Monday all! I hope this week will bring you many exciting things and that one of those things is this review.? Last year I read This Woven Kingdom and instantly became obsessed with the characters. Last month These Infinite Threads came out and I’m happy to report I’m still as obsessed. When I posted my review of This Woven Kingdom there was still zero info available on its sequel. I actually thought this was gonna be a duology but it isn’t, and guess what?? Zero info available on book three! I’m gonna cry. Anyway, if you haven’t read This…
Happy February peeps! Did January go by super fast for anyone else? Normally I feel like it’s the slowest month of the year, but this time it flew by for me. Probably because I actually had a busy schedule for a change… And because I was so busy, I unfortunately did not have time to read as much as I would’ve liked. I had set a tentative TBR for this month, which included The City of Dusk, Heart of the Sun Warrior, The Awakening, The Gilded Cage, Hell Bent, A Light in the Flame, and Ocean’s Echo. I managed to…
Hiya book friends! It’s my first review of the year already, I’m so proud of myself. Obviously as soon as Hell Bent came out I had to read it, because three and a half years between books is more than long enough. Best pray for a quick third book, because I will likely not survive another wait that long. I actually have a review for Ninth House on here as well, which you can find here! This review is so old that it’s still written in my old style and it doesn’t even come with content warnings… Hell Bent does,…
Hello my bookish friends! Is it too late for a 2023 most anticipated releases post? Yes? Well too darn bad. I didn’t do one for last year and I can’t recall why, so I’m picking up the slack and doing one now! Also because I want to see which of the books on this list I’ll actually manage to read before the end of the year… My goal this year is to read 50 books, and so far this list consists of 28 books. I could get more than 50% of my goal done just be reading new releases! I…
Happy 2023 everyone! Can I still say that even though we’re already in week 2? I hope everyone had an exciting year’s end, and that this year is already off to a good start. Mine could’ve gone better, but that’s mostly due to those pesky train cancellations that seem to target me specifically… Anyway, I thought it would be fun to make a little post about my goals for 2023! I have some reading goals, of course, but I also want to mention some personal, non-book-related goals I have. If you have any goals for 2023, do share! I’d love…
Happy Thursday book friends! I am excited because tonight I am going out for dinner (and I don’t have to pay!), and this weekend I have a gala!! Lots of exciting things are happening. But first, I have a review for you. I requested One Dark Window on NetGalley because it sounded super interesting, and I tend to enjoy anything that is published by Orbit. Thankfully, my Orbit enjoyment can continue as usual, as I loved this book! Check out the content warnings below, and let’s get started.

Happy Tuesday all! Finally after so long I have finally made a Top Ten Tuesday post. But I want to write more things besides wrap up posts and reviews again. So hopefully I will get my mojo back this way! Anyway,Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can find all past and future prompts on her blog! This week the prompt is: Favorite Bookstores OR Bookstores I’d Love to Visit.favorite bookstores I’m not sure if I have ten favorite bookstores, so I will list my favorites and then also list a couple I’d love to…
Happy first of October book friends! Are you all ready for a month of spookiness? As always I am excited for Halloween, but as of yet I have no spooky plans… I do, however, have a list of books I want to read. But first, let’s talk about the books I read in September. I can be quite short about that, since I only read three. This is definitely the least amount of books I’ve read in one month, ever, and I am entirely blaming it on my new job. We shall ignore the fact that I’ve been slumpy this…
Hello book friends! It is review time again, and luckily for you all, this book comes out right in time for Fall (let’s all pretend that Fall starts on September 1st). Last year, I had the pleasure to read and review Lovely, Dark and Deep by Claudia Cain, and this year I got to read and review the sequel: Wicked Walking! Wicked Walking comes out August 30th, and I cannot recommend this series enough if you like atmospheric creepy reads and are still looking for that perfect Fall read. I read this book in one sitting, so that should also…
Happy Wednesday book friends! This is my third review within a week’s time, who am I?? Today’s review is of the final book in a series I only started last year. Nevertheless, I think it has become one of my favorite trilogies, even though it’s made me cry on multiple occasions… I am talking about Legacy of Light of course; the final book in Matthew Ward’s Legacy trilogy. You can also check out my reviews of Legacy of Ash and Legacy of Steel if you wish. I think this is also the biggest trilogy I’ve ever read, with all books…
Hello, hello! I’m back already with another review. This time of the Stardust Thief, which did not come on my radar until after its release for some reason. But I have zero regrets of picking this one up, as it was amazing! I finished the Stardust Thief at the beginning of this month, so not too long ago. If you enjoyed the Daevabad trilogy, or enjoy any type of mythology and folklore, do yourself a favor and pick this book up. You will not regret it.

Happy Saturday book friends! My, I have not posted a review in a long while. The last time was early May, whoops. Oh well, I have been reading more new books lately, and I’m excited to catch up with my reviews! First up is Book of Night by Holly Black. I actually finished this one over a month ago, but didn’t quite have the energy and time to sit down and write a review for it. But here it is now! At first, I was a little scared to read it because many of the first reactions I heard to…
Hello everyone, long time no see! Despite not being so active on here anymore, I do have lots of updates for you all. Many exciting things have been going on lately, and I’ll tell you about them later in this post. But first, it’s time for my June 2022 reading wrap up! Better late than never right? I read six books in June, most of which were around 300 pages for a change. I read some books that had never been on my radar before I picked them up, and some that had been on my TBR for a very…
Happy Tuesday everyone! Can you believe May is almost over already? Time goes by so fast sometimes, especially in these summer months. I did not read a whole lot this month, partially because I am on a near-three week vacation to the United States! Currently residing near Washington D.C., and I’m trying to fit reliving five years of living here in a couple of days. I read a mere four books this month, three fantasies and one non-fiction out of all things. I’m currently not exactly in a reading slump, but there are so many books I’m excited for that…
Happy May everyone! Well, it’s been May for a few days now, but you know how it is… I did only one reread last month, and everything else was new! Or well, new to me at least. So in total I read seven books in April. I was finally able to cross some books off my TBR that had been on it forever. I’m pretty happy with the amount I read and I mostly enjoyed all my reads. Let’s see which books I read! april 2022 reading april 2022 reading A Shadow in the Ember By Jennifer L. Armentrout This…
Happy Wednesday book friends! Recently I got a whole bunch of new books again, and I was so excited to read them that for once, I actually did. One of those books was This Woven Kingdom, which I am probably going to obsess over for some time… This Woven Kingdom actually came out way back in February, and like always I wish I had gotten it sooner. But on the other hand, I have found zero info on book 2 and I am already dying to get my hands on it. Anyway, it’s clear that I really enjoyed this book,…
