Check-In: Bookish Pet Peeves

I'm not sure this counts as a "check in"-- it's more of a discussion post, but I was too lazy to make another graphic. Oh well! Today I am feeling grumpy, so I will be giving you guys a list of my biggest bookish pet peeves. Hooray! 1. Books where the author name is bigger …

Book Review: Scythe

I think I’m going to have to change my name to “the unpopular opinions book blog” The first quality a scythe needs is to not want to be a scythe. When Rowan and Citra are selected to be scythe apprentices, they immediately know they don't want the job. But, there is something alluring about being …

February Wrap-Up/TBR

In addition being very late with this post, it will also be shorter than my other wrap-ups. School, unfortunately, is still taking over my life, and I did not get to read as much as I hoped in comparison to January. Also unfortunately, I did not really like anything that I finished (or I found …

Tips & Tricks: How to Get Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs)

Welcome to my first official Tips and Tricks post! Today I'm going to be talking about requesting e-ARCs (I will try to do one on physical ARCs in the future, once I have a bit more experience with them). If you have a book blog, you probably have been wondering about, or trying to get …

Favorite Friday: A Book that Made You Cry

Sigh. Once again, I'm going to break my own rule, and not actually talk about a book that made me cry. But, the reason for that is because recently I have found out that most of the books that made me cry are either problematic, or have problematic authors. And while I don’t want to …

Favorite Friday: Favorite Trope

Hello friends, I'm so excited to start up favorite Fridays again, and with a very intriguing topic. I've found that most tropes I either don’t feel strongly about (like enemies-to-lovers), or I am beginning to tire of (heroine in a medieval fantasy world rises against the patriarchy). However, there is one, above all others that …

Monthly Wrap-Up: January

Last month felt like a year in itself, but it's finally over! Hooray! Although I wasn't very productive in the general category of "life" I did manage to read a decent amount. To keep the post readable, I'm going to give quick reviews of my top 4 reads of the month. 1. A Dark and …

Blog Journey: Why I started and what I’ve learned

My wonderful friends, it has been a whole six months since I started this blog (which I was only active for like three of, but besides the point). To celebrate I wanted to tell you more about why I made this blog, as well as give some tips for new, or old, bloggers out there! …

Welcome Back

SO, it's safe to say that I took an unexpected hiatus, reading slump, what have you. School absolutely caught me off guard, as did my bookmark business picking up. I haven't had much time to read lately, but I am going to make a big effort to be active here again because I MISS YOU …

Favorite Friday: Favorite Place/Time to Read

Welcome back to the fourth (or fifth depending on how you look at it) favorite Friday! This week I'm going to talk about when and where I like to do my reading. Feel free to join in and post your responses too, and be sure to tag me so I can read them(: If it …
