Sadly, life has become a bit more complicated in the last couple months and so this hobby blog has taken a backseat to my everyday routine. But I've still been reading! Actually, I've already broken and ditched some of my 2020 goals (which you can see here) BUT I have been keeping up pretty well [...]

MIA Update
Hello friends! As you may (or may not) have noticed, this modern witch has been MIA since the holiday season. Between the end of the year craziness and moving cross country, I have barely turned on my computer in the last few weeks. I know that I am behind on blog-hopping, and am VERY aware [...]
2020 Bookish Goals
Happy New Year ya filthy animals! And it really is going to be an all new year for me this year. After living my entire life on the east coast, this witch will be starting the new decade over 2000 miles away in Arizona! My husband got a job there and so over the holidays [...]
Most Anticipated 2020 Releases
Ahhh, a new year, NEW BOOKS! I know we are all worried about getting through our backlist titles all the time, but some of us are just too easily swayed by a shiny new cover for a brand new story (at least I am). Here are some of the books I am MOST looking forward [...]
New Release Recap 2019 – Fall
Woof! We've made it this far and guys, I am TIRED. This is going to be the biggest post of them all so far and it is the last one, but man...it took some TIME to get through. Who knew that FALL was the biggest book release month? Certainly not me. As we come to [...]

Growing up, I always assumed people read more in the summertime too, especially students because they have that [...]
New Release Recap 2019 – Spring
For one reason or another, the spring always feels like a whirlwind that I can never remember. In college, the spring semester dragged on forever but since graduation, I feel like springtime is often forgettable for me. Do you feel like the seasons have changed in the last few years? Like winter takes longer to [...]
New Release Recap 2019 – Winter
One of the best parts of November is looking back on the past year and reflecting on everything that we have accomplished. Of course looking back will often bring up some bad memories too, but let's hold on to the idea of good things for now. While I personally may have felt underwhelmed at Book [...]
The Big Bad Hype Monster
I know we have all had a time where we avoided a certain book because it was so hyped in the community that it made us nervous. This is a known fact among our friends. In those instances, I like to say that the hype monster is chasing me away. Over the last two years [...]
Wishful Thinking – Buying Books for that “Dream” Library
I saw this post on Aurora's blog where she talks about being with a friend and seeing a lot of European history on his bookshelves. He leans over and explains that he hasn't read any of them yet, but definitely plans to. It was then that Aurora realized that she too has purchased books for [...]
