Required reading was the bane of my existence in high school. My elementary and middle school years were a bit of a mess since I went to five different schools (and was homeschooled for two years) prior to ninth grade. That being said, I don’t recall being required to read any specific book before high […]
Hi, everyone! In the last several days I’ve seen SO many posts for ARC August and, since I made a trip to ALA this year, I thought maybe it was time I finally participate. I need to meet some goals for a few other reading challenges, so this seems like a great way to kill […]

Happy Saturday, everyone! I’m back today with another Saturday Screen Time and this time I’ve watched a lot more TV than movies. A couple of my favorites had new seasons come out and I loved every second of them! I also started something new and saw one of the weirdest films ever. Now I’m deciding […]
This Tuesday I focused my Top Ten post around fantastical locations I’d love to see more of in books. Today I decided to see if I could find any books in each setting. It was ridiculously hard to find anything for most of these and I’m insanely bummed about it. Someone write these! If you’ve […]

I will totally admit that I judge books based on their covers. When I’m browsing the shelves or looking through my library’s app, I definitely give priority to books that are eye catching. The chances of me picking up a book with an ugly cover are usually slim to none, so today I decided to […]

Today’s Topic: Auto-Buy Authors Happy Tuesday! This week we’re talking about auto-buy authors and I’m going to be super honest about the ones I will absolutely buy anything from. An author making my auto-buy list doesn’t mean that I love everything they’ve written and an author not being on my list doesn’t mean I won’t […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! This week was productive, so I guess it wasn’t too bad. I started reading The Starless Sea and got through the first part, which I loved! A friend recommended reading each part by itself, so I took a break to read The Grace Year. Now I’m debating whether to […]
