Hello friends!
I’m finally back with my long overdue recent books post! Between March and June, I did a terrible job at doing any sort of reading, and I’m currently very behind in my book goals. Still, life has been super exciting and so I can’t be mad about missing out a little on reading! However, I’m going to make it a bigger priority moving forward because I love to do it and I have so many books to read still and move off of my shelf.
Hello friends!
I’ve decided that instead of doing a monthly wrap up or TBR, I would rather just share my thoughts on the books I’ve read as I finish them, especially because I have spurts of reading a lot and then not reading at all, and so some months may have 1 book read while others have 5. This will just help balance everything a little better!
The books for this post are from the beginning of the year until the end of February.
Hello friends!
Every year I make it a point to pick out some things I want to do, books I want to read, shows I want to watch, etc. Today, I wanted to share the 19 books that I plan on reading this year!
A few of them are rereads that I’ve been wanting to do for a while, while some are from authors that I enjoyed and want to check more out from. A lot of them are books that I’ve heard so much about in the book community that I want to finally read! I’ve been on GoodReads for almost 5 years now, and some books on this list have been on my TBR for just as long – that’s wild.
Hello friends!
Today I wanted to share all of my five star reads from 2018! This year, I read almost 50 books, which is more than any other year that I can remember. This was largely because I graduated college, meaning I had more time to read in general. Plus, I wanted to make it a point this year since I’ve always loved books!
The list isn’t in the order of my favorites, just by the dates that I read them.
Hello, friends! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’ve been working on trying to find balance in my life with a new full time job and what I want to do now that I’m done with school, but I’m ready to dive headfirst back into this!
This is going to be a spoiler-FREE review of The Safe Word by Karen Long, which is the first novel in the DI Eleanor Raven series. I’m trying to read my MASSIVE backlog of books from when I first got on Netgalley and requested pretty much everything, and this is one of the lucky winners that was on my Spookathon TBR.
Am I the only person who has a massive TBR pile that only seems to get bigger? It feels that way sometimes! This month I wanted to share with you all my TBR, or To-Be-Read, for the month of July.
Since I have so many books (over 900!), I wanted to come up with a fun way to pick the books to read for each month instead of just trying to randomly guess what sounds good at the time.
I chose 10 books that I would try to read this month! They’re sorted into different categories based on how they were picked for the month and where they come from!
In the spirit of combining my love of reading and watching YouTube videos, I wanted to share with you all my favorite BookTubers to watch!
BookTube is the affectionate name for the corner of YouTube that houses people who talk about books. This may include wrap-ups (similar to my own blog post!), reviews, hauls, TBRs, tags, and more! Anything that has to do with reading and books is considered a part of BookTube.
The list today is the five BookTubers that I felt had either content that interested me or a great personality! Each of them are a little bit different, so hopefully if you’re looking to get into BookTube, one of these five will catch your attention.
Happy Monday, y’all!
Today I wanted to share with you 8 different ways that I get my books either for free or for really cheap. If you’re a book lover, you know how hard it is to fund your love of books; they’re expensive! Any easy way to get a book for less than full price is a win in my book.
Some of them may be more or less relevant to you, depending on how well you fit into the criteria, but I can almost guarantee that you’ll find yourself able to do at least one of these!
April is over, and with it goes the snow (finally!) and my last month as an undergraduate student. It’s a little crazy to me how quickly time has gone; what do I do with myself once I graduate?!
Crisis questions aside, I’m here to bring you my reading wrap-up for this month!
Books marked with an asterisk were received free for review but do not change my opinion in any way.
