Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag 2020

I’m running a little bit late with this tag but I absolutely had to do it! I’ve been having such a fantastic reading year and, while I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately, I’ve read so many wonderful books already. And for once I’m surprisingly still pretty on track for hitting my goal for the year! So here’s a little round up of the first half of 2020!

Hey everyone!

Despite the fact that we are leaving my favorite season behind, I’m still excited to be heading into Spring. There are so many great books coming out over the next few months that I’m really looking forward to! I’ve not only been doing a ton of reading this year already, but I’ve also really be keeping up with new releases/new purchases as well, so I’m hoping to get to a lot of…

Hey everyone!

I’m so incredibly excited that it’s O.W.L.s time again! This readathon was created by the incredible G over at Book Roast. For this readathon, you need to choose a profession, then complete the O.W.L.s prompts for the required subjects you will need to pass before taking your N.E.W.T.s. There are so many amazing careers to choose from and I actually ended up going with two because…

Hey guys!

I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA lately! I’ve been dealing with some health stuff and have been finding it difficult to sit down and focus enough to put my reviews together. But I wanted to pop in and let you guys know what’s been going on. I have been reading quite a lot though, so I have a bunch of books waiting to be reviewed and so much I need to talk about! I’ll still be on a little…

There’s a readathon coming up this week that sounds awesome: the Polarthon! This was created by Jade from jadeyraereads. Because of her, I’ve not only found a bunch of amazing books recently but I’ve also discovered the genre of polar fantasy. The Polarthon sounds absolutely perfect for getting started in this genre and I can’t wait to begin!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you and all your loved ones have had a wonderful time this holiday season! I’ve had a chance to spend a lot of quality time with my family and it definitely was a much needed boost to my mood. I sang my 19th(!!!) Christmas Eve service with my church choir (alongside my mom in the alto section, as always!) and spent the Christmas period binge watching house reno…

Hi Everyone!

O.W.L.s Magical Readathon 2019 TBR

Hey everyone!

So, I know I’m extremely late getting to this AND I’ve already taken (and passed!) my N.E.W.T.s, but I feel my Hogwarts studies are incomplete. Since I didn’t find out about the O.W.L.s until it was too late, I figured I would spend the next month taking them so I can officially call myself a Mind Medic! So from November 1st to November 30th, I will be participating in my own…
