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!  Let’s just take a moment to stop and internally freak out that November is over, and we are in the last month of 2017! 😳  Y’ALL! HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN?! WASN’T SUMMER JUST LAST MONTH?! *ahem* Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about what I read and blogged about in the month of November!  Plus, I have an exciting Blogmas announcement at the end of this wrap-up! In… Read More

Hello!  I hope everyone had a good week last week, and for my fellow Americans, a happy Thanksgiving!  Today I’m going to share with you all what I read during the Thanksgiving Readathon, which ran from Nov. 22nd – 26th.  You can also check out my TBR post for the readathon here! So, I didn’t get everything on my TBR read, but I had such a busy week, I still think I didn’t… Read More

Hey everyone! I may already have my Christmas tree up, but I still wanted to wrap-up what I read for the 2017 Halloween Readathon hosted by Lauren @ Wonderless Reviews! Sorry this is late, but I’ve been so busy the past few days, that I haven’t had a chance to share with y’all what I read, but I had so much fun participating that I still had to share. So, here we… Read More

Hello! So, on Saturday, I participated in Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-thon.  It was sort of a last minute decision, so I wasn’t as organized with this one as Dewey’s readathon in April, and I had a few things to do that evening.  That being said, I still read quite a bit, and I’m really happy with how the readathon went for me! Reading Update First, I read the last chapter in The Haunting… Read More

Hey everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you all what I read for this year’s Hedgeathon.  The Hedgeathon is an annual summer read-a-thon hosted by the lovely Natalie from The Hedgie Press.  I participated last year, and had such a blast, so I was really excited for The Hedgeathon this year.  Unfortunately, I didn’t complete the challenge this year, but that’s okay, because the books I did read, I ended up… Read More

Is anybody else freaking out just a little bit that it’s already AUGUST?!  Not only is summer flying by, but 2017 as a whole has been flying by faster than ever!  July is usually my best reading month, so I’m disappointed to say I only read 4 books.  However, 4 books isn’t terrible, by any means! BOOKS READ – Chasing Jupiter by Rachel Coker \\ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire \\ ⭐️⭐️⭐️… Read More

Hey everyone!  It’s a little late, but here is my wrap-up for this year’s Booktube-A-Thon.  I didn’t get as many of the challenges done as I had hoped, and even the challenges that I did do, I didn’t finish all the books completely, but I still had a good time, and actually read quite a bit more than the previous weeks, so yay for that! 1. Read a book with a person… Read More

It’s 11 days late, but here it is: my June wrap-up!  Honestly, I’m a little disappointed in the amount of reading I actually got done.  I finished three books in June, which is not terrible for me, but in the summer months I usually read more.  So, I had hoped to just finish a few more books, but oh well!  At least all the books I read were great ones! BOOKS READ… Read More

Hey everyone!  I’m finally here with May’s wrap-up.  The beginning of May was a bit slow, reading-wise, for me, with final assignments and end-of-the-school-year activities, but in the last week or so of May, I read a bit more. BOOKS READ – The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O’Connor McNees \\  – Angel Eyes by Shannon Dittemore \\  – Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs \\  – Broken Wings by Shannon Dittemore… Read More
