Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature started by Breaking the Spine that puts the spotlight on upcoming releases! It’s been forever since I’ve posted one of these, but I’m super excited for this book, so I thought I’d start doing WoW again, occasionally! 🙂 Today’s pick is: The Midnight Dance Releasing October 17, 2017! Synopsis When the music stops, the dance begins. Seventeen-year-old Penny is a lead dancer at the Grande Teatro, a… Read More
Hello! It’s been almost a month since I’ve posted, and I honestly can’t believe it’s been that long. I hadn’t planned on taking a blogging break, but it just sort of happened, and I went with it. Lately, I haven’t been reading as much, and thus, I haven’t had as much to blog about, so I just decided not to push myself to post, and took a mini, unplanned, unexpected hiatus. The… Read More
Hey everyone! I know I just wrapped up a read-a-thon a few days ago, but I’m already ready to jump into another! I’m so excited to be participating in Wonder Week, a bingo read-a-thon, hosted by Rimpy from rimpysreads. The read-a-thon starts today, August 25th, and goes through September 1st. The goal is simple. Based off the bingo board below, read books that fit the descriptions and get a bingo! I’m going… Read More
Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share with you all what I read for this year’s Hedgeathon. The Hedgeathon is an annual summer read-a-thon hosted by the lovely Natalie from The Hedgie Press. I participated last year, and had such a blast, so I was really excited for The Hedgeathon this year. Unfortunately, I didn’t complete the challenge this year, but that’s okay, because the books I did read, I ended up… Read More
Is anybody else freaking out just a little bit that it’s already AUGUST?! Not only is summer flying by, but 2017 as a whole has been flying by faster than ever! July is usually my best reading month, so I’m disappointed to say I only read 4 books. However, 4 books isn’t terrible, by any means! BOOKS READ – Chasing Jupiter by Rachel Coker \\ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire \\ ⭐️⭐️⭐️… Read More
Hey everyone! So, this is really impromptu on my part, but I’ve decided to participate in the BookTube-A-Thon! I wasn’t going to, just for the fact that I didn’t really know when it was, and I’m not a booktuber, but after seeing so many other bloggers participating, and just the hype about it starting today in general, I decided “why not?!” I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump these past… Read More
It’s Top Ten Tuesday again! It’s a weekly bookish list created by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is: Top Ten Books of 2017 (So far!) In order of read date: The You I’ve Never Known by Ellen Hopkins This was the first book by Ellen Hopkins that I had ever read, and it was so good! It was so raw, emotional, and beautifully written.

Today is Top Ten Tuesday – A weekly bookish list created by The Broke and the Bookish! This week’s topic is: Cover Theme Freebie Everyone knows the old saying, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” However, we all know that’s not always the case…sometimes we do! Here are 10 books I read based off their covers (that I ended up loving)! I just really love this cover! It’s so simplistic, yet I… Read More
Welcome back! First of all, can we just agree that April was like, 2 days?! The beginning of April was a little slow for me reading and blogging-wise, but things really started to pick up for me the second half of the month. BOOKS READ – Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven \\ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – The Auctor Trilogy by T. R. Wolf \\ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Heart of Danger (Nancy Drew Files #11) by Carolyn Keene \\ ⭐️⭐️⭐️… Read More
