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 […]

Happy Friday, everyone! Today I thought I’d do a book tag since it has been quite a while. This one was originally created on BookTube and, no, no one tagged me. Tag yourself! I have a tendency to have unpopular book opinions, so this tag all about what I’m NOT going to read seemed right […]

Nearly three years ago I wrote my first post about the book trading hashtag on Twitter, also known as #booksfortrade.
