Usually, I'm inclined not to have many New Year Goals, mostly because of the negative connotations around such resolutions and because they are difficult to follow. However, I wanted to share some general changes you will be seeing on my blog and my reading goals over the course of the coming year. So, this post … Continue reading Blog/Reading Goals 2019

Wrapping Up 2018
The year is coming to an end, and while I will miss it, it's always encouraging to start a new year. This year nothing seemed to go right.

Book Review: Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
I have seen this book (and its subsequent sequels) on bookstore shelves since I was a child. However, I never bothered to pick it up. I'm not sure why, since the cover is rather appealing. But, apparently the movie adaptation is being made, so I thought it was about time that I tried reading this … Continue reading Book Review: Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

Books I’m Looking Forward To in 2019
I was supposed to post a book review today (namely, Great Expectations), but unfortunately I'm still not done with it.

So, I used to anticipate books coming out more, but this year I really haven't cared that … Continue reading Books I’m Looking Forward To in 2019

Jane is one of my favorite protagonists in literature, mostly because she is such a strong character despite her horrible … Continue reading Book Review: Brightly Burning by Alexa Donne
