On Wednesday I did a book haul post, and this is an accompaniment post to that one, where I unhaul 20 books to match the 20 books I bought. Here's a link to the book haul, if you missed it. Now, even though I'm getting rid of a lot of books, that does not necessarily … Continue reading First Book Unhaul of 2021

First Book Haul of 2021
Technically, most of these books were purchased at the end of 2020. If you read my Bookish Resolutions for 2021, you may remember I talked about being more conscious and selective about the books I bought. For every book I buy, I have to get rid of one of my books. In this way, I'll … Continue reading First Book Haul of 2021
Books I’m Looking Forward to in 2021
I've mentioned before on my blog that I usually don't look forward to many new book releases, because I'm the type of reader who prefers reading books which stand the test of time. An overhyped book from 2021 may or may not be good, but a 2014 book which everyone still loves is probably at … Continue reading Books I’m Looking Forward to in 2021
Failing? Winterween 2021
Last week, from Jan. 4 to Jan. 10, I participated in the Winterween readathon this year. It's a challenge created by Oliviareadsalatte and Gabbyreads over on Youtube. The overall idea of the readathon is that just because it's winter and not Halloween does not mean we can't read some scary reads. Honestly, part of the … Continue reading Failing? Winterween 2021
My Pre-Semester Checklist for College
I can't believe winter vacation (寒假-han jia in Chinese) is over and this Monday I'm going back to college. Like last semester, this one will be entirely online. I'm taking six classes, including a lab (which I have no idea how they'll do online), and this might be the first semester I'm genuinely not looking … Continue reading My Pre-Semester Checklist for College
2021 New Year Bookish Resolutions
Happy New Year! It's a new year, which means new reading goals. So today I thought I would share my Bookish Resolutions for 2021. Also, my apologies for this post going up later on Wednesday as opposed to at 8:00 am Eastern time as it usually does. I wish I had an excuse like technology … Continue reading 2021 New Year Bookish Resolutions
December 2020 Reading Wrap-up
Finally 2020 is over! I look forward to starting 2021 with a positive outlook and hope for the future. December was a good reading month for me, since I was off over school for most of the month and so I could dive a lot into reading. I read a total of 21 books last … Continue reading December 2020 Reading Wrap-up
Simply Christmas
I'm mostly taking this week off, from Christmas to New Years. It's been divine, though I will say I've mostly been just playing video games and reading all week. It's a divine life. I'll get back to work next week, but in order to give myself a week off, I don't have a full post … Continue reading Simply Christmas
Wrapping Up 2020 – My New Favorites
I've done a couple blog posts in the last few weeks talking about the books I really enjoyed in 2020, but this post will be a bit different. I'm going to share some of my favorites for things outside of books. I guess you could look at this post as a wrap up of things … Continue reading Wrapping Up 2020 – My New Favorites
2,000 Pages in 10 Hours Readathon
I'm currently free from school for the next few weeks, so last week I decided to attempt a 24-hour readathon, trying to read 6 books, equaling about 2,000 pages. I've seen a lot of videos on YouTube of this challenge and really wanted to try one myself. You can probably tell by my title that … Continue reading 2,000 Pages in 10 Hours Readathon
