Unlike all my previous book hauls, this one is kind of an accumulation of new books I got in the last few months since October, when I posted my last book haul. Some of these books I purchased myself, and others I received for Christmas and my birthday (which is early in January). I've been … Continue reading Book Haul #4

Book Review: My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier
This is the third book by Daphne Du Maurier I have read in the last few months, alongside Jamaica Inn and Rebecca. The former I loved, the latter...I didn't. So I went into this book with pretty average expectations. And I was pleasantly surprised by most of this book, until the very ending. Release: 1951 … Continue reading Book Review: My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier
My Favorite Book of the Year: 1969-1960
I am really enjoying this series, though in a couple decades I'm going to have to be reading a lot of new books to fill in the years I haven't read a single book I liked in. Anyway, for those just coming to this post, this is a series where I share my favorite book … Continue reading My Favorite Book of the Year: 1969-1960
Book Review: Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer
So this book...it...hmm... I fully acknowledge that part of the reason I didn't like this book was because I knew nothing about it before picking it up from the library. It was released about a month ago, and I had heard of Jeff VanderMeer being an interesting writer and I randomly read it. I did … Continue reading Book Review: Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer
Book Review: Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
This is the second book in the last couple months I've read by Brandon Sanderson, the first one being Elantris. I absolutely loved that one, and went into this book with high expectations, because I heard that this series is one of his best. But, by the end of this book, I found my expectations … Continue reading Book Review: Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
Reading Wrap-up: December, 2019
The year is officially over, but before I completely move on to new and hopefully better books, I have to do one last reading wrap-up for December. I ended last month with 11 books read. Not exactly the best, but I felt like I was catching up on a lot of things I had put … Continue reading Reading Wrap-up: December, 2019
Wrapping Up 2019
Well, 2019 is finally finishing tomorrow. I was just looking back on my wrap up of last year and I had said that nothing seemed to go right in 2018. For this year, it was pretty much the opposite. Everything just seemed to go so right, for multiple reasons. Anyway, like last year, I'm used … Continue reading Wrapping Up 2019
End of Year Book Tag 2019
I cannot believe another year is gone already! It seems like just yesterday that it was 2018 and my family was attempting to sell our house. Oh, how many changes have occurred in a matter of 12 months. Anyway, I did this book tag at the end of last year (you can check it out … Continue reading End of Year Book Tag 2019
Book Review: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
This is probably not the most fitting book to be reviewing on Christmas day, but what can I say, I like to be rebellious. While I'm opening presents and stuffing my face with pot roast and cookies, I thought you all would enjoy this ranting book review. What is more fun on Christmas day than … Continue reading Book Review: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Christmas Cracker Book Tag
I mean, you know I have to do a Christmas book tag. I found this one and it looked fun and perfect for this time of year. As of when this post goes up, it's Christmas Eve Eve! For those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas! For those who don't, Happy Holidays! I discovered this book … Continue reading Christmas Cracker Book Tag
