I've seen this book around a lot, and was a bit curious to read it, but it wasn't until I read Diana's review from Ideas on Papyrus that I knew I had to read it. And, I will say, I wasn't disappointed at all. This book is absolute incredible, and one I could easily recommend … Continue reading Book Review: Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance

Book Review: 11/22/63 by Stephen King
I was hoping to get this book done in October, because I had assumed it was going to be more of a horror, but a part of me is glad I didn't get to it because it is more of a historical fantasy. I also had no idea how long it was until I got … Continue reading Book Review: 11/22/63 by Stephen King
Flip the Page Book Challenge
This is a slightly different type of book tag, but since Jesse the Reader created it over a Youtube a couple months ago, I've been wanting to do it. The whole point of this challenge is to create a new, fictional life for yourself by picking random books and pages from your bookshelves. As always, … Continue reading Flip the Page Book Challenge
The TBR Book Tag
It's mid-November, which means it's about time to get into another book tag. Here is the original post, created by two people, and the moment I saw it, I knew I had to do it. Especially considering how long my TBR is! How do you keep track of your TBR pile? I'm old-fashioned, I know, … Continue reading The TBR Book Tag
Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
It seems like a long time since I read a YA fantasy, and even longer since I actually liked one. Going into this book, I basically knew only two things about it: first, it is about a heist and, second, it's set in the same universe as Bardugo's other series Shadow and Bone, which I … Continue reading Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Reading Wrap-up: October, 2019
So, this month was a bit...hectic. I had midterms and a lot of things going on in my personal life, so I wasn't focused on reading at all. I still read 12 books, but not my usual short stories and exclusively read on audiobooks. Since it was October, I wanted to read some horror books, … Continue reading Reading Wrap-up: October, 2019
Book Review: The Institute by Stephen King
This is my second book by Stephen King that I read this month, and also his latest published. It is also a perfect book to review the day before Halloween. Which makes sense that I would read it next, because Pet Cemetery was one of his earlier ones. While I wouldn't categorize this book as … Continue reading Book Review: The Institute by Stephen King
The Monster Mash Book Tag
With Halloween just around the corner and me in a super fall mood, you know I have to do an October-themed book tag. When I found this tag, I knew it would be perfect for this spooky time of the year. I believe the original was created by Spine Breakers on their Youtube channel. Also, … Continue reading The Monster Mash Book Tag
How Technology Changed Reading
I'm a big reader. Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of stumbling across one of my blog posts will have guessed that. I am also that type of snobbish reader who still believes real books are better than digital or auditory ones. No, I'm not the type who will shame you for not reading … Continue reading How Technology Changed Reading
