Growing up, I was a massive fan of The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I have not only read the book multiple times, often around Christmas, but I've seen at least a dozen of the many adaptations of the book (some far better than others). So when I stumbled upon this book, which purported to … Continue reading Book Review: Marley by Jon Clinch

Out of My Comfort Zone Book Tag
I discovered this book tag and few months ago and since then I wanted to do it, I just never found the time. So I'm finally doing it. I am the type of reader who always tries to read out of my comfort zone. I will pretty much read any genre or book, unless I … Continue reading Out of My Comfort Zone Book Tag
Book Review: How the Other Half Lives by Jacob A. Riis
It's been a while since I've read a nonfiction book. This one I was assigned to read in my history class (which is also my favorite class this semester), so I didn't exactly read it by choice. I've also never heard of it, so I'm glad I had a chance to read it. Riis was … Continue reading Book Review: How the Other Half Lives by Jacob A. Riis
My Favorite Book of the Year: 1959-1950
Another month come and gone and my spring semester is in full swing. We are currently into the 1950's for my favorite book, and for this one I had to do a bit of reading before I had any for a few of these years, and I have a feeling it will only get harder … Continue reading My Favorite Book of the Year: 1959-1950
Book Review: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
This is perhaps one of the most anticipated books of 2019, and a few months ago I'm pretty sure most readers were talking about it. This is the first book of Bardugo's new series, and I believe her first adult book as well (though we'll get to my thoughts on that later). I usually don't … Continue reading Book Review: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
January 2020 Reading Wrap-up
I cannot believe a new year is here and January is already over. It's been kind of a crazy month with me starting my seven classes this semester and also trying to keep up with my blog. A lot of you who I follow may have noticed me taking like a week to actually read … Continue reading January 2020 Reading Wrap-up
Book Review: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
I feel guilty to say that this is the first time I have ever read the Lord of the Rings. So many people love this series, and I grew up with the film series. I can almost quote the movies word-for-word...which may be concerning. However, despite all that, I have never read the books. Until … Continue reading Book Review: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
Lunar New Year Book Tag
For those who aren't Chinese or aren't interested in Asia, today is the Lunar New Year! This year is also the Year of the Rat (according to the zodiac). For those who don't know, there are twelve animals in the zodiac according the Eastern astrology. Anyway, in honor of the Lunar New Year, I thought … Continue reading Lunar New Year Book Tag
Book Review: Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
I finally read the book everyone seems to be talking about recently, especially since the short TV series adaptation last year starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant came out. I have yet to see it, but I've seen a couple trailers and it looks pretty humorous. Anyways, I wanted to read the book before I … Continue reading Book Review: Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Book Haul #4
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
