I'm not the type to read many YA fantasy novels, and when I do I rarely enjoy them. However, I made an exception to this one since it is a futuristic fantasy retelling of Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. I have read many retellings in my reading life, but I have never seen any author … Continue reading Book Review: Sky Without Stars by Jessica Brody

The Rainy Day by Henry Wadsworth Long Fellow The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;It rains, and the wind is never weary;The vine still clings to the moldering wall,But at every gust the dead leaves fall,And the day is dark and dreary.My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;It rains, and the wind is never … Continue reading Rainy Summer Day
Korean Movie Review: Innocent Witness
It seems like forever since I talked about a Korean drama or movie. I've just been so busy with planning for college and moving before that that I haven't had much time to watch much of anything. Saying that, I watched this movie recently and I was so impressed by it that I had to … Continue reading Korean Movie Review: Innocent Witness
Book Review: A Hobbit, A Wardrobe, and A Great War by Joseph Loconte
Perhaps two of my favorite authors of all time are J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. I read The Chronicles of Narnia when I was quite young, and I remember listening to an audio adaptation of The Lord of the Rings even before I was able to read. So when I saw this book, which discusses … Continue reading Book Review: A Hobbit, A Wardrobe, and A Great War by Joseph Loconte
The Quintessential Summer Book Tag
I know I just did a book tag last week, but since it's super hot where I am, I felt in the need to do a summer book tag to ignore the heat sweltering outside my window. Also, I'm rather busy getting ready for going back to college in about a month. Thus, here's another … Continue reading The Quintessential Summer Book Tag

Book Review: The Five The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold
I mentioned this book a while back in my I Love Spring Book Tag, where I mentioned I was anticipating its release. Well, it's now three months later, I finally got a chance to read the book.

Mid Year Book Freakout 2019
We are officially over halfway done with 2019, which seems strange because I feel as if it has only just begun. So I thought today would be the perfect time to go over some of my reading stats which I don't talk about during my monthly wrap-ups, as well as do a fun book tag, … Continue reading Mid Year Book Freakout 2019
Book Haul #1
I have never done a book haul before on my blog, mostly because I don't buy that many books. Most of the books I get are from the library, mostly because it is a rare book that I want to read multiple times. However, a couple weeks ago I took a trip to the Goodwill … Continue reading Book Haul #1
Book Review: A Duty to the Dead by Charles Todd
I've read a lot of historical mysteries, so much so in the last year I've cut back on how many I read, because they all start to blend together eventually. One of the main faults I see in many genres is that the authors play within the limits of certain tropes so much that the … Continue reading Book Review: A Duty to the Dead by Charles Todd
