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

Hey everyone! Today is Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon! Just in case you don’t know, the goal of the readathon is to read as much as you can in 24 hours. To get all the details, check it out here! I’ve actually got a pretty busy day planned, so unfortunately, I know I’m not going to be able to read as much as I would like. That being said, I’m going to try… Read More

The readathon was hosted by Cristina from cristinasjourney, it went from February 9-15, and the goal was to complete seven of the ten available challenges.

It’s finally February!!  I don’t know about you, but January felt about three months long.  Last month was also a very emotionally draining and a rather stress-filled month for me for a good chunk of it, too.  So, I’m really glad it’s behind us, and I’m looking forward to happier days in February! Despite all that, I think I still had a pretty good blogging month, and I also managed to read… Read More

It’s Top Ten Tuesday again!  It’s a weekly bookish list created by The Broke and the Bookish, but is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week’s topic is: BOOKISH RESOLUTIONS AND GOALS FOR 2018 So, I’ve already shared some of my bookish goals for 2018, because of that, I’ve decided to only list a top 5 today. Now that 2018 is actually here, I feel like I have a lot more clarity of… 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

Hello! Aentee from Read at Midnight is hosting the super cute, sure to be fun #ReadersCrossing readathon!  I absolutely adored her PokemonGo themed readathon last year, and so when I saw she was hosting one that was Animal Crossing themed, I just knew I had to participate. The readathon runs from today, December 10th, and goes until December 31st.  The challenges are set up like a bingo board. I’ve decided to base… 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 ON MY WINTER TBR Skipping Christmas I absolutely love Christmas with the Kranks, which is based off Skipping Christmas.  It’s one of my favorite Christmas movies, and I always have to watch it at least once every holiday season!  I’ve never read the book, though.  I wanted to read it last Christmas, but… Read More
