Thronebreakers – Spoiler Free Review

Happy Sunday book friends! And long time no see. In all honesty, I’ve been absent because I was too lazy to write anything. I haven’t even read a lot lately either. I did go on a city trip for like a week, but still. Maybe you noticed that I changed my blog theme to winter! These changes always make me excited to write again. I actually finished Thronebreakers on October 29th, and I’m only just now sitting down to review it. Good thing I’ve read exactly two books since then, because otherwise I would’ve never remembered the details. This book…

Books With Time Travel I Enjoyed

Happy Wednesday book friends! Do you read books with time travel? I tend to really like these, even though the science behind it often makes my head hurt. Mostly because like 50% of my brain tries to come up with reasons why it wouldn’t work, and the other 50% is telling me to shut up and enjoy the fiction. I haven’t read a whole lot of books with time travel, but the ones I have I’ve often enjoyed. They’re all quite different in setting, too! Time travel is something you’d mostly expect out of a science fiction novel, but some…

Happy Tuesday book friends! We’ve been having plenty of rain lately, though ironically enough, today is quite nice. Either way, the rain will always return, and sometimes it’ll ruin your plans. So here are some things to do on a rainy day when boredom threatens to strike! I tried to come up with things you can do by yourself or with someone else. Of course we can all read all day when it’s rainy out, but we all know that never works out. I myself always end up continuously scrolling through Twitter and get maybe two hours of reading done,…

Books I Want to Reread Some Day

Happy Sunday book friends! On the one hand, me making this post is very funny, because I’ve been rereading a ton this year. So, how many more books could I possibly want to reread?? Well, a lot, apparently. Really though, of the 70ish books I’ve read so far, 27 have been rereads. I’ve read the Hunger Games, all the Grishaverse books, all the ACOTAR books, and many more. I normally never reread this much, but apparently I was in the mood for it this year. And still there are so many books and series I want to read again! Rereading…

Books on my Birthday Wishlist

Hello book friends! It’s been a while since I posted. I was going to do Blogtober every day, I had even planned out the schedule, but my energy levels dipped so low. I didn’t the motivation to even open my laptop. But this is an easy enough post to write! My birthday is coming up super soon, and I want to ask my parents for a couple of books from my Wishlist. Or money, which I will then use to buy books from my wishlist myself. There have been a lot of great book releases lately, and I haven’t bought…
