Hello, everyone! It’s now 2022 – which is a super weird thing to say – and there are a lot of books coming out this year that sound really intriguing. I’ve narrowed down my list of “want to read” books to 22, so let’s talk about them! January The Maid by Nita Prose – January 4th This one comes out today, and it sounds like a really mysterious read. This book follows a maid who comes across a…

Let's talk about some 2021 reads!

Hello, everyone! As one of my first official posts back on the blog, I thought I’d take a stab at some survey questions about my 2021 reading year. I saw Kayla from booksandlala answer some of these questions which inspired me to do the same! The questions originally come from The Perpetual Page Turner, and she goes quite in-depth with some of them. I’m too lazy to answer them all, so here’s my…

Oh, hello! Guess who's back?

Hello, everyone. Yes, you read that correctly – I’m publishing a blog post. It has been a year to say the least. I changed jobs, I got out of touch with reading, I learned so much about myself and what I want out of life, I I got back into reading, and I decided to blog again. I wanted to start this new year out with a reintroduction of sorts because I definitely don’t feel like the same person…

Unboxings | Special Edition Boxes

Hello, everyone! I don’t know about you, but something about 2021 just screams “broke from book boxes” because I feel like I’ve spent so much money on special editions and/or dust jacket artwork this year. So without any further ado, let’s show off what I spent too much money on! Illumicrate sold a mini box featuring brand new dust jackets for the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J.…

Unboxing | March Owlcrate

Hello, everyone! Today I received my March Owlcrate box, so I decided to make this unboxing post to show off the contents! The theme for this month was “Of Witches and Wonder”, and they said the witchy items would be more of a forest witch or cottage-core witch, both of which (haha) I’m down for! Up first, there were a couple of Owlcrate boxes – which I always think look super cute. They were a…

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m trying something different. I was randomly scrolling through Instagram, as one typically does, and I came across an ad for a subscription box called “Literati”. I immediately thought it was like Illuminati but for book lovers, so I decided to test it out. I chose the young adult box, and here’s how that went down! To start, let me explain what Literati is all about.…

Unboxing | February Owlcrate

Hello, everyone! Today I decided to post an unboxing of Owlcrate’s February box! The theme for that month was “Magic Unleashed”, so let’s get to the items! Up first, there was a small jar of bath salts inspired by We Hunt the Flame and created by The Soap Librarian. There was also this month’s enamel pin designed by Icey Designs. The keychain was designed by Lively Ghosts and inspired by…

Top Five Friday | Book Series in 2021

Hello, everyone! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a Top Five Friday, so I thought it’d be fun to bring it back. This week, I want to talk about book series. I’ve been saying I’ll read the ones mentioned in this post for years, but I’m going to make 2021 be the year I actually read them! 1. The Lord of the Rings Series by J.R.R. Tolkien I know, I know. I’m ashamed I’ve lived 28 years and…

Unboxing | January Fairyloot

Hello, everyone! Today I’m coming at you with another unboxing – this time from Fairyloot! It’s been a little while since I’ve received a Fairyloot box, but I had a little extra to spare and thought I’d treat myself. The theme was “Greek Mythology” which I adore, so let’s get to the stuff! Up first, there was a book sleeve with a quote from Circe by Madeline Miller. It was designed by…

Media Mondays!

Hello, everyone! Today is Monday, so that means it’s time for another Media Monday! This week is going to be a mashup of shows, podcasts, and music that I’ve been consuming so far this year. Thankfully, 2020 is behind us, and 2021 has shown that it can improve – fingers crossed! evermore – Taylor Swift What can I say about Taylor Swift that hasn’t already been said? She’s a brilliant lyricist,…

Book Review | From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Hello, everyone! I actually read a book, and I’m on here today to review/talk about it. Who even am I?? My friend and I decided that if we’re going to spend a bunch of money on fancy special editions of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s From Blood and Ash series, we may as well try to read them and see if we like them! I was first introduced to From Blood and Ash when I saw it had won the Goodreads award…

Unboxing | January #Owlcrate

Hello, everyone! Today I’m coming at you with an unboxing. I haven’t subscribed to Owlcrate in a little while, but when they announced January’s theme (From Olympus with Love), I knew it was going to feature Lore by Alexandra Bracken – I needed an exclusive copy of that! Without any further ado, let’s get into the box! Up first, there was a little bag of loose leaf tea created by Riddle’s Tea…

Hello, 2021 | 2020 Reading Survey

Hello, everyone! The dreadful year of 2020 has finally come to an end, and 2021 is upon us. I know in the past I’ve said I was going to get back on track and regularly read/post on this blog and my Instagram, but this time I truly mean it. I have a reading planner and tons of notes on my phone with post ideas. I mean business this year, so hold me accountable! You’d think being a Capricorn I…

Let's talk about the Owlcrate Addie LaRue box. Thoughts?

Hello, everyone! Long time, no see. I’m fully blaming COVID for ruining my productivity, but let’s be honest here: my motivation to finish any project started dwindling well before the pandemic. Whoops.

I’ve put this post off for a little while because I wasn’t sure how to write it. My thoughts on this box have varied almost every time I bring it to mind, but my overall opinion isn’t great. I…

Unboxing | September 2020 Owlcrate

Hello, everyone! As soon as I found out that September’s Owlcrate was going to be their spooky box for the year, I immediately reactivated my account. I’m not sure if it’s because I have a house I can actually decorate this year or what, but I’m in an extra fall/Halloween decor mode. I also knew what the book was going to be because of the hints given, and I really wanted a copy of it!

The…

Review | One by One – Ruth Ware

Hello, everyone! Today I’m coming at you with a good old fashioned book review. Because I read and loved Ruth Ware’s last novel, The Turn of the Key, I knew I was going to instantly pick up her newest release. It was pitched to me as Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None meets avalanche-survival story, so I was definitely intrigued.

One by Oneis set in a luxury ski chalet and there is a…

It's the beginning of something new – Media Mondays!

Hello, everyone! I wanted to start something new on my blog. Most of my life revolves around books, but I do love other forms of media – music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, video games, etc. So I thought, why not make a weekly or monthly post about al my other media faves? Let’s do it!

For the first Media Monday, let’s talk about music. Here are some of the albums I’ve been really loving lately.
