The Books I Haven’t Read

A while ago a thing went around on Twitter asking you which popular book series you’ve read. Out of the list of 23 books, I only read 10… Now I’m not stressing about this, but it did make me think about why I haven’t read these books, because some of them are pretty popular. So this is a post dedicated to the books I haven’t read, but maybe should, and the books I will honestly probably never read. There are some series on this Twitter list that I hadn’t even heard of, and some that I think are entirely missing…

My Favorite Fall Scents

I went to Bath & Body Work yesterday, which is always a great day for me, but a horrible day for my wallet. I might have a slight addiction, since I own 29 body mists alone… And 22 of those are full size! But for some reason I didn’t have any big candles from them yet, so when I went yesterday it was my goal to buy a nice fall candle. While sniffing literally everything in the store, I decided I should make a post about my favorite candle scents! First off, shopping for candles during the holiday seasons is…

Tag: Are you ready for sweater weather?

I have never done a tag before, and I thought that now would be a good time to start! I decided to do Jenn’s Sweater Weather tag, because, in case you haven’t noticed, I am super hyped for fall! Hot Chocolate: what is your comfort book? I feel like such a cliche saying this, but for me it’s definitely Harry Potter. I can with 100% confidence say that it’s the only series from my childhood that I still revisit from time to time. I love everything about the Harry Potter world, and some 14 years later I’m still not sick…

A Non-Spoiler-Free Collection of my Thoughts on Darkdawn

Sooo… I recently finished Darkdawn, which was one of my most anticipated releases of September, and… I loved it! I have some thoughts about the book, and I thought I’d share them here. This post will contain spoilers, so if you haven’t read Darkdawn/The Nevernight Chronical yet, and you plan on doing so, pleasepleaseplease don’t continue reading. I haven’t mastered the ability to write spoiler-free reviews yet, oops. I’m on Twitter and I noticed a lot of people positively sobbing near the end of Darkdawn. I even knew which chapters would produce the most tears, so when I got there…

Why I Love Fall

I’ve said it before, but I truly do not have a single favorite season. That said, there is definitely something special about fall. I decided to put together a little list of the reasons why I love fall so much! My birthday! For now I am not yet sick of celebrating my birthday. I turn 25 (!!) on Halloween, and I just love throwing Halloween parties every year. I really enjoy organizing parties and get-togethers, so this is the perfect excuse to do just that. It’s especially great because over the last years, all my friends have put a lot…
