    November Wrap Up, Part Two

    I hope you all aren’t feeling overloaded by wrap ups this month. Or well, last month technically, I suppose, though November just ended. November wound up being a really great reading month even though it didn’t seem like it would quite as large as usual at the beginning. But between the readathons, two audiobooks, and…

    Tome Topple Wrap Up: Week Two

    Oh my goodness. I had such high hopes for managing to accomplish finishing The Diviners and The Conjuring of Light, but alas. I don’t want to spoil anything so let’s jump in. I left you on Thursday, which involved no reading, too much food and shopping, and not nearly enough sleep. I had finished Crazy…

    A Hope Divided: A Spoiler Free Review

    Y’all, I still can’t get over being lucky enough to get an ARC of this book from NetGalley, so super thanks to them for the opportunity to have read one of my most anticipated books of Fall in advance of it’s release date. This was especially valuable considering there are only two days left in…

    Spy Games: A Spoiler Free Review

    This was my first ever read from Sidney Bristol, but it definitely won’t be my last. I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did because lately I’ve been a scaredy cat, completely incapable of making it past the first episode of The Punisher or the first chapter of a thriller.…

    December TBR

    We’ve almost survived the entirety of 2017! Woo! This year has been really hard and emotionally exhausting, but it’s come with a lot of really awesome accomplishments for me in my personal life. Plus it came with Reputation by Taylor Swift, so like, not all bad. But mostly, I’m really ready to close the chapter…

    ContemporaryAThon Wrap Up

    If you read my mid-month wrap up, you know I got a job that started the same day ContemporaryAThon started, which meant things were a bit more of a struggle than I was expecting. This job is different than my last one, in that it’s not nearly as flexible and my commute is significantly further.…

    November Wrap Up, Pt. 1

    First of all, I got a job! That’s why my updating schedule has been off this week. I started on Monday and every evening when I’ve gotten home, I’ve been trying to cram in some reading for the ContemporaryAThon and desperately wanting to crawl into bed. I’m not good at mornings, honestly. Now, let’s talk…

    YA Fantasy for Running from Your Problems

    According to Goodreads, which is about half accurate, I’ve read 93 YA fantasy books so this should be easy enough. However, when I started to think about it, I realized that true escapist fantasy for me is kind of hard to come by–especially given that the majority of the books I’m mentioning here are parts…

    The TBR Tag

    Well, I’ve ruminated on how awful my TBR is on my own plenty and it’s sparked a myriad of Snapchats where I ruminate on how ridiculous I am and how desperately I need to get some self control. So, when I stumbled across The TBR Tag on leynes’s channel, created by Dana and Rachel, which…
