    Queens of Geek is my Queen

    Look, idk why this title is the title I picked, but Wix tells me to pick an engaging title so HERE WE ARE. But for real, Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde is an amazing book and I adore it so much. Here’s a picture of Queens of Geek with lyrics from my real life…

  • Re-read, Re-write, or Burn

    Do I get all of my ideas for blog posts from BookTube? Yes. Yes, I do. But this game looked like so much fun and I don’t have camera equipment or the desire to learn to edit videos so we’re going to play Re-read, Re-write, or Burn. Now, I’m not sure whose video I saw…

    August Wrap Up Part 1

    I thought that I might not need a Part One and Part Two this month, but, well, here we are. It’s August 15th and I’ve read ten books, not including graphic novels. You can expect a post about those graphic novels later this month though! It should be noted that I have yet to read…

    7 in 7 Readathon TBR

    The 7 in 7 Readathon was created by saidthestory on YouTube and the goal of the Readathon is to read seven things in seven days. There aren’t specific challenges you have to meet and graphic novels count, so it’s an excellent readathon for me to participate in right now! I’m not good at sticking to…

  • Knitting, Beards, and Tennessee: What I Almost Missed by Not Reading Penny Reid

    Knitting, Beards, and Tennessee: What I Almost Missed by Not Reading Penny Reid

    I think the first time I came across Penny Reid’s name was in this Smart Bitches Trashy Books post in which Truth or Beard was on sale. I read the synopsis and looked at the cover and thought, “Cute cover. That could be good, but I don’t like facial hair.” SO I SKIPPED THE BOOK.…

    Book Talk: The Underground Railroad

    I really don’t even have words for this book. When I started the Pop Sugar Challenge at the beginning of the year and set out my TBR of what I was planning to read for each challenge, I was stumped on what to put down for the “read a book about a difficult topic” one…

  • Library Haul and Reading the First Chapter

    Library Haul and Reading the First Chapter

    I lost control at the library, who is surprised? And now I have eleven books out from the library not counting the audiobook and two ebooks I have checked out via Overdrive. Whoops. So, I decided I would try the Read the First Chapter challenge/tag thing that I’ve seen on YouTube. Specifically, I just watched…

    Book Talk: Hold Me by Courtney Milan

    The Ripped Bodice is the only all-romance bookstore in the United States and also a dream vacation location for me. They also happen to be having a Book Club discussing Hold Me by Courtney Milan, which happens to be one of my all-time favorite romance novels so I thought I would “participate” from afar by…

  • July Wrap Up, Pt. 2

    July Wrap Up, Pt. 2

    Despite struggling through the Bar Exam (fingers still crossed because I definitely don’t feel great about it), I was able to get through another ten books! Because I’m obsessed with BooksandLala on YouTube, I’m going to give you all a lot of statistics that you probably don’t care about. In total, I read nineteen books,…
