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: TOP TEN BOOKS I REALLY LIKED BUT CAN’T REMEMBER Shadowland (The Mediator #1) by Meg Cabot   I read this book several years ago, and while I remember the main premise, I really don’t remember much of the characters or the actual plot.  I really love… 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 I MEANT TO READ IN 2017 BUT DIDN’T GET TO Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo I totally mean to read Crooked Kingdom in the beginning of last year, but then I got distracted by other books, and kind of forgot what happened in Six of Crows, so I just kept putting it off.  Not this… Read More

Hello! 2017 is over! Can you even believe that?!  We’re a week into January now, and I still have to keep reminding myself that.  I hope all of you had a lovely Christmas, or any other holiday, and just all-around great December.  I had a fun and festive month filled with family, celebrations, and lots and lots of Christmas movies! When it comes to books and blogging, my December did pretty great!  While… Read More

Holly, over at Nut Free Nerd, did the What Cats Do book tag a while back, and it looked like so much fun!  For those of you that don’t know, I’m a huge animal lover, and actually own 4 cats.  So, I just had to do this tag!  I’ve included some pictures of my cats, too, because they’re too cute! Purr: As cats do this when they’re happy or relaxed, what is the book… Read More

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

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

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
