Hey everyone! It’s time again for another monthly wrap-up! April just flew by for me, and I have a feeling that May will, too! I’ve only got about two weeks left in the semester, and then I’ll be on summer break and I am SO looking forward to it. This semester of college has been a killer for me, especially in the past month or so. Because of that, I didn’t get… Read More
Hey everyone! Well, Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon is now over, so it’s time I share with you all how it went. After my last update, I read about 10 more pages of Illuminae, and then I fell asleep. Then, I woke up about 20 minutes before the readathon ended, and read until it was over. So, I was able to get to page 118 of Illuminae plus the 20 pages of The… Read More
Hello! I thought I’d check in and share with you all how I’ve been doing today. I haven’t had a whole lot of time to read, but I already knew I wouldn’t. However, I have read a little bit, and given the circumstances of today, I’m not too disappointed with how much I’ve read at this point. So far, I’ve read 20 pages of The Ugly Teapot. I am enjoying this one,… Read More

This week’s TTT topic was a freebie, meaning we could go with anything we wanted. So, in keeping with The Rebellion, I’ve decided to… Read More
It’s April, so that means it’s time for my March wrap-up! For me, March was a pretty great month. It was my birthday on the 29th, and while I didn’t read quite as many books as I would have hoped, I still read a fairly good amount. My blog did really well in March, too! Altogether, I read five books in the month of March! BOOKS READ – The Choosing by… Read More
Title: Breakfast at Tiffany’s: A Short Novel and Three Stories by Truman Capote Pages: 162 Genres: Fiction, Classic, Short Stories Published by: Modern Library (Jan. 13th, 1994, originally 1958) Summary It’s New York in the 1940s, where the martinis flow from cocktail hour till breakfast at Tiffany’s.

It’s Top Ten Tuesday again! It’s a weekly bookish list hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week’s topic is: Characters I Liked in Books I Didn’t Like This week was a hard one for me, because of that, it’s only going to be a top five today. For one thing, usually if I don’t like the characters, it’s the biggest reason why I don’t like a book. For another thing, honestly, there are… Read More
