It’s that time of year! My favorite readathon! At this point, the only reason I create monthly TBRs! This readathon is hosted by Kathy, with the goal being read queer books and support queer authors! This round lasts from June 1st – 30th. You can click here for more information and a breakdown of all 16 prompts!! I’m a little bit hesitant making this TBR because, as I type this, I’m in the…

WWW Wednesday was formerly hosted by Should be Reading and is now hosted by Taking on a World of Words. I’m in the midst of some big assignments, but I’m still reading! What are you currently reading? I got an eARC of The Duke by Anna Cowan and I’m enjoying it more than I expected! It’s a sapphic historical romance with a little bit of alternate history as women can hold titles. I’m usually…

WWW Wednesday was formerly hosted by Should be Reading and is now hosted by Taking on a World of Words. What are you currently reading? I’m slowly listening to Before the Ever After by Jacqueline Woodson, a middle grade, novel-in-verse, about ZJ, who’s dad was a prolific American football player, but is now suffering the effects of years of concussions. It is as gutting as you can imagine, both…

I received an eARC from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single noblewoman who has lost her fortune (no thanks to her father’s terrible business dealings) must be in need (not want) of a husband. It’s the end of the 1820 London season, King George III is dead, and there are no suitable suitors in sight. Beautiful, cunning,…

I didn’t track my reading in 2016. I’ll be honest, I didn’t get back into reading until late 2017/early 2018. So, I thought I was going to miss out on the 2016 nostalgia (some of which is misplaced in my opinion), but that wasn’t until Kayla from booksandlala talked about what books she loved that were published that year. So here are 8 books I really enjoyed that were published 10 years ago…

It’s always so much more fun making goals and looking back on them than it is working on them, huh? Anyway, let’s see how well I did at my goals then look at some charts! Reading Goals & Challanges Is it bad to start a post being defensive? Potentially, but as much as some of these challenges were in abject failure, I did make a major life move in the latter half of the year and much of my…

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s topic is “Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026” and if I might say, this being my first time making one of these posts since every…

WWW Wednesday was formerly hosted by Should be Reading and is now hosted by Taking on a World of Words. Kicking off 2026 with a reading update! I’m reading as much as I can while I have free time. What are you currently reading? After putting off my friend and I’d buddy read for a couple of months because of the holidays, I’m finally reading Tears of the Wolf by Elisabeth Wheatley, a historic…

I received an eARC from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.` A fan-favorite character returns in this action-packed instalment of the Hugo Award-winning Wayward Children series.After Nancy was cast out of the Halls of the Dead and forced to enroll at Eleanor West’s School for Wayward Children, she never believed she’d find her door again, and when she did, she didn’t look back.…

I told myself I would go easy on myself in 2026 and I’m fighting every instinct to add more goals and reading challenges here. As with previous years, I’ll go into the goals I’ve set for myself, then go into the reading challenges I’ve joined. Reading Goals Goal #1: Read 20 Books I always low-ball the number of books I want to read in a year because I want to focus on quality, not quantity,…

WWW Wednesday was formerly hosted by Should be Reading and is now hosted by Taking on a World of Words. I thought by the time I posted this, I’d be fully done with the semester, but due to the flu I had to get an extension on my assignment. I’m still slowly getting back into reading What are you currently reading? I wasn’t sure if I was in the mood for holiday romance, but then I picked up…

This tag was created by laceanddaggerbooks. The idea of this challenge is to put your 2025 playlist on shuffle, and for the first three to five songs, you need to pick a book you read in 2025 that fits that song! I’ll include my thought process and the summary of each book (except for one book, which is the finale of a series). Shake It Off by Florence + the Machine I’ll be honest, this is not…
