  • Zodiac Book Tag

    Another day, another tag post because these are fun. In 2016, HardbackHoarder created the Zodiac Tag and I just discovered it so… We’re doing it, obviously. The Astrology Book Tag is also a thing, which I did a few days ago and you can find it linked over on the side! While The Astrology Book…

  • Astrology Book Tag

    I’m supposed to be telling you about the Scalia book today, but uh… The world has been a rough place so it was either a book tag or me squealing about the Scorpius Syndrome books 3 and 4, which would have been spoiler filled so… Now we’re going to do a book tag! On September…

  • September Wrap Up, Pt. 2

    September Wrap Up, Pt. 2

    Toward the beginning of the month, I was in a bit of a reading slump and just wasn’t in the mood to finish anything. Fortunately, that mood mostly abated in the second half so there are eleven books for you in this post. I know, I’m ridiculous. Also, I didn’t wind up reading any graphic…

    October TBR

    How is it already time to be talking about my October TBR? I’m overwhelmed by how quickly time goes when you’re an adult. It’s baffling. Anyway, let’s dive in! I mostly succeeded at my September TBR, so I’m going to give you a list in the same sort of order! 1. Dear Martin by Nic…

    Moxie: Spoiler Free Review

    I’m so excited to bring you all my book of the month review for Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu! I really enjoyed this book, but more importantly, I really wish it had existed for me in high school. I’m going to try so hard to not wander off on tangents about the importance of Title IX…

  • Autumn Book Tag!

    Autumn Book Tag!

    I love Fall, like so many of us do, and since North Carolina and global warming mean I can’t pull out my sweaters already, I’m just going to inundate you with book tags related to Fall over the next three months. I hope you don’t mind! The Autumn Book tag was created (kind of?) by…

    The Windfall: A Spoiler Free Review

    First of all, I’m so proud of this picture so I really need you all to fawn over my photography skills for me (even though it’s not at all technically great). Secondly, this book was fascinating. Essentially, it’s a book about Mr. and Mrs. Jha who are moving from their solidly middle class neighborhood to…

    Landslide: True Stories Spoiler Free Review

    I’m just going to provide you with the Goodreads blurb for Landslide, because I honestly have no idea how to blurb essay collections. Minna Proctor’s LANDSLIDE is a charismatic, darkly funny collection of linked essays which primarily explore the author’s complicated relationship with her mother, who was diagnosed with cancer at age 57 and died…

  • Contemporary Romance for when you want to run from your problems…

    Contemporary Romance for when you want to run from your problems…

    Sometimes running from my problems does not involve completely escaping the current world, but instead involves escaping into a contemporary romance so I can give myself hope that even though the world seems awful, it will not stay that way. I am, once again, providing you with a mixed list of authors and books because,…

    September Wrap Up, Pt. 1

    I’ve entered into a bit of a reading slump, I think, although I suppose that could just be that I was sick for several days. It could also be though that I’ve made myself read books outside of my favorite genres this month, which take me longer and make me less excited to pick up…
