#TheReadingQuest ended this past Sunday, September 10th, and I thought I would share my wrap-up with you guys! All but 2 of these have had reviews posted by now, and you can find those by scrolling through my blog’s home page feed, or going to my Review Index. (Here‘s my original TRQ post, in case you missed it, and here‘s the original challenge post) character quests: one word title: MOXIE book w/ magic: AN ENCHANTMENT OF RAVENS book w/ mythology:...

It’s the start of a brand new month, and that means it’s time for a brand new TBR! This month, I’ll be working on finishing #TheReadingQuest, as well as participating in a graphic novel challenge in Life & Lit! My TBR for the month looks pretty ambitious, but I’m not terribly concerned, given that so many of the titles on the list are graphic novels, which I’m usually able to zip right through. the stack: # = #TheReadingQuest * =...

August ’17 Haul & Wrap-up

Another month has passed, and you know what that means… time for a haul and wrap-up post! I had a pretty decent reading month, and I stuck to my book ban fairly well! Though I did splurge on a few purchases, most of this month’s new additions to my shelves were given to me as ARCs. (Yay!) August Wrap-up Spellbook of the Lost and Found ★★★★★ (review) All the Crooked Saints ★★★★★ (review) The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue ★★★★★ (review) Flame...

#TheReadingQuest TBR

I have recently developed a bit of an obsession with reading challenges, but some challenges are similar enough that I can’t keep them separated! #TheReadingQuest doesn’t have that problem. It’s adorable and unique, and I have been so excited to share it with you guys! What makes this reading challenge unique is that it covers the span of a bingo board, but is modeled after an RPG-style game: you create a character, pick a class, and then base your reading...

#ARCAugust TBR

A few weeks ago, I was perusing Netgalley and lamenting my feedback percentage (I’ve only reviewed 64% of the titles I’ve been approved for, if you’re wondering), when something grand occurred to me: I should focus the entire month of August on ARCs! Then, an even better thought hit me… ARCgust! Get it? August, ARCgust… I’ll see myself out. After pumping myself up for this idea and thinking about how excited I was to announce it to you lovely folks,...

July ’17 Haul & Wrap-up

Since last month was such a heavy haul, I went easy on the bank this month and stuck pretty well to my “nothing but kindle sales” book ban. I only purchased one physical book, and a few ebooks; the rest were ARCs and giveaway prizes! My reading this month was awesome, though, so I’ll start with my wrap-up! July Wrap-up The Only Alien on the Planet – Kristen D. Randle (review) ★★★★★ Just Listen – Sarah Dessen (review) ★★★★★ Final Girls – Riley...

June Haul & Wrap-up

This month looks like a bit of a doozy, but I’m actually proud to announce that I set myself a goal of only purchasing ebooks that were on sale, and BOTM books… and I succeeded! Well, almost.

June ’17 TBR

I can't believe June is already here! This is a bittersweet month for me... my son's first birthday is on the 22nd, and I'm having a little bit of a mommy crisis. Where did the time go?! Sigh... Anyways, I've got some pretty high aspirations for this month's reading list, particularly because I want to knock out a few ARCs! My entire TBR isn't pictured above, because some of them are eBooks.
