HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! This has been a pretty productive week and I really can’t complain! I’m going to be even busier than normal over the next week or two as I finish up some huge candle orders and get them packed up, but I’m so thankful to be able to do it. […]

Happy Friday, bookworms! Welcome to some unpopular opinions that I sincerely hope don’t make any of you think less of me. Haha! Today I wanted to talk about sub-genres that I just can’t seem to get into. I’ve read several of the books I included in today’s lists and none of them have been winners, […]
Last week I went out of my comfort zone again and reread another book! This time I tackled one of my favorites. I was honestly kind of scared to read it again because I was really worried that I might not like it anymore. I read it a few years ago and fell in love, […]

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! It has been another busy week, but not a bad one! I even got a day off that was totally unexpected and used my afternoon to get Pad Thai (after debating whether to have that or ice cream for lunch). I also saw Captain Marvel AGAIN and it was […]

HURRAY! A book tag! This tag was created by Jami Shelves and perfectly embodies my TBR, which is full of books that I think I would like to read but don’t actually want to take the time to read… No one tagged me, but I thought it looked fun so here we are! The rules are […]

Today’s Topic: Books On My Spring 2019 TBR Hi everyone! I guess it’s that time of year again. These topics are always my favorite because they’re SO easy! There are always a million books on my TBR, so it’s not too terribly difficult to google the dates of Spring this year and pick out ten. […]
Happy Monday, book nerds! Today I want to do something a little different and discuss a book I’ve already reviewed. Why, you ask? Well, because the initial shock of the ending has worn off a bit and I’ve been thinking more and more about this book and whether I love it as much as I […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! This week has been incredibly busy and has made for a slow blogging week. My baby puppy is still doing well (hurray!) but my old girl has been sick for the past couple days, so I have been very occupied with her. She may or may not be making […]

So. I do not do rereads. I’ve reread are the first few in the Harry Potter series and a couple of the Chronicles of Narnia. I also reread Twilight a couple years ago and HATED it. There are just so many books that I want to read for the first time that it’s hard for […]
Today’s Topic: Standalone Books That Need a Sequel Hi everyone! So this week I learned that I hardly ever read standalone books and, when I do, they often end in a way that doesn’t leave any possibility of a book two. Because they all die. But here are five books that I’d love to see […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! This week has been (you guessed it!) busy! As you may know, I run a bookish candle business. It’s so challenging at times, but so much fun! This week I was busy getting boxes packed since I decided to bring monthly boxes back and it was SO much fun! […]
Happy Saturday, everyone! Over the past week I have found an amazing website called Just Watch! I have no idea if it’s brand new or if I just didn’t know it existed, but it’s amazing. If it could be merged with Letterboxd it would be perfect. This one allows you to look up a movie […]

Hi everyone! Welcome to another round of Down the TBR Hole, in which I attempt to delete some books from my poor, sad Goodreads TBR. The other day I looked and it had crept back up to 400. Whoops! I’m also including a giveaway today! The Down the TBR Hole meme was started by Lost In […]
Today’s Topic: Characters I Definitely Would NOT Like To Switch Places With Hi everyone! I know this week we’re supposed to be talking about characters we would like to trade places with, but… I read a lot of fantasy and horror, so pretty much everyone’s life sucks and I can’t think of many I’d want […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! It has been another crazy busy week in my house, but a super productive one! I dropped off a ridiculous amount of orders at the post office this week and forgot to print out the bulk order form (or whatever it’s called). I’m sure the mail lady hates me. […]

Recently a friend asked me to read his NaNoWriMo project from last year. It was an adult horror book, so right up my alley! It was totally creepy and I loved it, but the ending truly shocked me. It ended with the main character dying in a way that had been hinted at throughout the […]
