Yesterday was Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon! With this readathon, I never know if I’m going to do well or end up hardly reading anything, lol. This time around, however, I’m happy to say that I actually got a ton of reading done! 🎉 First, I finally finished There’s Someone in Your House! This was such a fast-paced and spooky read. After that, I listened to (and finished) Slasher Girls and Monster Boys… Read More

Hello! Today I’m back with another extremely late wrap-up. Yup, that’s not a typo, it may be nearly May, but I’m finally sharing my March wrap-up. 🙈 For the past few months, I feel like I’ve been in this weird reading and blogging slump, where I want to read and blog and then I just do other things instead. I’m ready to push through that, though, so hopefully the rest of the… Read More
