Horror Recommendations, Pt. I (& a read-along!)

If there’s one post that has been requested of me more than anything else during my entire time hosting this blog, it has to be… A horror recommendation list! Check out pt. II of the list here! But, first… Before we jump into the recommendations, I wanted to take a moment to announce a creepy October read-along! (photo credit to Kathy!) Kathy and I have been discussing an It read-along for ages, so we decided to finally host it in...

NEW SERIES: Seasonal TBR Jar — Autumn Creepies!

Autumn is almost upon us! Fall is my favorite time of year, and it always makes me crave books that are spooky, thrillers, or paranormal (even more so than usual, anyways)! I have so many unread horror/thriller/paranormal books on my shelves that I knew I wanted to try and work on my backlist as much as possible for the rest of the year, which gave me an idea: why not make a fall-themed TBR jar, just for the next few months?...

September TBR: No Theme?!

I know, I always have a “theme” for my TBR, but not this month! While I really wanted to join in on Kathy’s Sequel September in a big way and knock out some series, I’ve spread myself so thin with review copies that they’re almost all I can focus on this month! (That said, I’m still going to try to read at least a few sequels.) Instead of posting a strict TBR, I’m just going to list every single book I...

August Wrap

Another month is coming to a close, and it’s time to show you guys what I read this month! I’m changing up my haul layout a little: if I have a review for the book, you’ll be able to click the STARS for the review link! (Titles will still take you to Goodreads.) I think this may have been my worst reading month all year. I think doing back-to-back-to-back readathons at the end of July messed me up, plus I...

Assigned Reading Wrap-Up: Summer Semester!

My summer semester ended this week, which means it’s time to post my class wrap-up! There were 39 books on the list in total, but a few were optional, and I didn’t get around to all of those. Here’s a quick wrap-up of my thoughts on the ones I did read, though! Since I won’t be posting most of these reviews to the blog, if you click the title, it will take you to my mini review on Goodreads! UPDATE:...

August TBR: #ARCAugust & #BookTubeAThon 2018!

Busy busy busy… This month, while I am still participating in the Life & Lit Throwback Event (feel free to comment for more info or an invite!), I’m only really focusing on two things: Book-Tube-A-Thon 2018 #ARCAugust! If you’re not familiar with either of these… Book-Tube-A-Thon is an annual week-long readathon where you can check off optional challenges, but the primary goal is to read as much as you can in a week. It started on July 30th and will...

TBR ROUNDUP: Looking Back At Old TBRs

I was thinking recently that June marked one year that I’ve been writing TBR and wrap-up posts, when an idea struck me: What if we looked back at all of my former TBR lists, and came up with some figures for how many TBR choices I’ve actually read since then? I wasn’t sure if this would be a well-received post, but I polled Twitter recently and the results were overwhelmingly in favor, so here we go!...

July TBR: Nostalgia & Sci-Fi July!

As you already know, I love to have “themed” TBRs, and for July, I have THREE “themes”! And… this TBR got super out of hand. (Oops.) 1. Over in Life & Lit, the mods and I are hosting a huge bingo event that is going to span all of July and August: the THROWBACK event! It’s going to be focused on reading books you missed during their hype window, continuing series you started a long time ago, or rereading old favorites. 2. Kathy at...

June/Pride Wrap

I’m starting a new thing with my wrap-ups, where I’ll be adding an emoji key to notate if the book was an ARC (?), had POC rep (?), LGBTQ+ rep (?), or was related to the month’s challenges (varies)! NOTE: I’m not including any of my assigned reading for my class in this wrap, because that will go in a specific course wrap-up post when the class ends!...
