Hello!  Last week I participated in the Cram-A-Thon.  The goal of this readathon was to complete 7 books in a week.  I decided to join last minute (check out my TBR here), so I wasn’t sure how well I was going to do.  That being said, I actually did incredible!?!  While I didn’t manage to read 7 books, I’m still so proud of how much I accomplished! Here’s what I managed to… Read More

I feel like I said this every month, but can you even believe how fast this year is flying by?!  We’re already halfway through, and I’m kind of freaking out about that.  On the plus side, the summer months are finally here, and with them they bring more reading time, no school, and SUNSHINE!  Needless to say, I’m just a little excited. 😉  Overall, I had an okay reading and blogging month… 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

  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

Hey everyone! Wonder Week, hosted by Rimpy’s Reads, has come to a close! Last week, it was all about reading, and today, I’m going to share with you all how I did. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to complete the whole row, and make a bingo, but I finished three and a half of my challenges, so I think that was still pretty good for me. My plan was to complete the bottom,… Read More

Hello! Last week (and a bit of the week before that), I participated in the #InLoveAThon, which was a Valentine’s Day-themed readathon! 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. If you’re interested, click here to check out my intended TBR and all the details for it. Today, I’m going to share with you all… Read More

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

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

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
