Hello! Today I’m going to share with you all how I did for the #ReadersCrossing readathon hosted by Aentee from Read at Midnight! This was a super cute readathon based off of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and it ran from December 10th – 31st. Unfortunately, just like during the Holiday Adventureathon, I didn’t complete all the challenges, nor did I keep track of my points like I had originally planned on doing. December… Read More

Hello! Can you even believe that it is the last day of 2017? I read so many amazing books this year, it was so hard to narrow it down just to 10. It was too hard for me to choose a top favorite, though, so I’ve decided to organize these books by read date! Also, fair warning, this post is basically going to be me saying “I loved this book!!” over and… Read More
Happy New Year’s Eve! Today, I wanted to share this quote from Rainbow Rowell’s short story, Midnights. While I read this quote, it reminded me of the new beginnings that a new year brings. Life is full of adventure and changes, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. “I’m not going anywhere, Noel’ ‘You are,’ he said, squeezing her.’And it’s okay. Just… I need you to take me with you.” …… Read More

Hello! Today, I’m doing the New Year’s Book Tag, which was created by Bookables, but I discovered on Jessie’s blog at Nerdy Book Life. With there only being a few days left in 2017, I thought it would be the perfect tag to do! Alright, let’s get started: 1. How many books are you planning to read in 2018? Like I said in my 2018 Reading and Blogging Goals post, I’m focusing… Read More
There’s only a few days left in 2017! It’s hard to believe that 2018 is almost here! This past year was filled with great books and exciting milestones for my blog. I discovered some new favorite books (which I’ll be talking about in another post soon), and my blog has almost doubled in views since last December. I’m really looking forward to seeing what next year brings! Today, I’m going to share… Read More
Hi everyone! I thought I’d share with you all my wrap-up of the The Holiday Adventure-A-Thon, which was hosted by Jasmine from Novel Thoughts! This wrap-up is going to be pretty short because, unfortunately, I did not get a lot of reading done. I admit, I didn’t even keep track of my points. 😦 I had such high hopes, because this readathon was so well thought out and organized, but with all my preparations… Read More
