Bubbling with Excitement; Pre-order List & September 2020 New Releases

Finally, we are starting to head into my favorite time of year! I know that the fall is going to look VERY different than what I am used to [this will be my first fall in Arizona, and you know, Covid] but I am excited nonetheless. Aside from all the spooky feels, pumpkins, crisp air, [...]

the folklore book tag

Like the original creator of this tag (ilsa @ Whisper of Ink), I have been listening to Folklore on repeat since it came out. I have been personally waiting for this sound, this vibe from Taylor since Red. It's everything I ever wanted from her. But these two tweets really hit the mark for me. [...]

Let’s Talk About Non-Fiction; TBR & why I struggle with prioritizing it

For goodness sake, I studied History as my undergraduate degree! You would think that I have a preference for nonfiction vs. fiction, but that just never seems to be the case for me. I've even committed to collecting non-fiction books to round out my personal library and I STILL can't pick any up. Why do [...]

#Blackoutbestsellerlist Book Haul

This past month has seen more than what anyone could have dreamed up. During a worldwide pandemic, the senseless murder of a black man named George Floyd erupted the country (and several others across the world) into protest. Though the Black Lives Matter (#blacklivesmatter) movement has been around since 2013, in the past it has [...]

Graphic Novel Read-a-thon Update

As some of you may know, I participated in an impromptu, personal read-a-thon two weeks ago where I was trying to read one graphic novel a day for an entire week. Things happened, books were read, but alas, it didn't go exactly as planned.   Monday June 22nd Off to a good start! This was [...]

Quarter Quell {2020}: A Quarterly Reading Wrap-Up

It's not nearly as dramatic as it sounds. Yes, in our beloved dystopian series, The Hunger Games, the Quarter Quell was a nightmare for our heroine Katniss and her compatriots, but obviously my version is not nearly as bad (we aren't gathering up a bunch of beloved celebs and pitting them against each other to [...]

Graphic Novel Read-a-thon?

Anyone who knows me knows, I don't do read-a-thons. Unfortunately, I am much too busy, and read WAY too slowly to actually read during a designated time period. Pair that with the pressure of reading a lot in a little amount of time, and you have a recipe for disaster. However, I will say that [...]

I’m Back Baby! (Maybe)

I haven't posted since... woof.. APRIL! and I quite honestly haven't been on this website in weeks prior to that. 2020 is kicking my ass to be perfectly honest, but I am trying to find a little light in this dark room. I have so much to share with you! AND for those who may [...]

April 2020 New Releases On My Radar

Hello lovlies! We are gearing up for a new month of reading and with that comes brand new shiny releases! With the weight of the world on our shoulders, many people have turned (back) to reading and so it felt worthwhile to compile some new books that are coming out this month as a way [...]

February 2020 – A Month in Review

February man. For being the shortest month of the year, it sure does take a toll on you! I got a lot of reading done this month which is super surprising but considering that I am still in the interviewing processes on getting a job, it also makes sense. In the very near future (we [...]
