Christmas Eve is exactly two weeks away from today (Monday, Dec. 10), so I thought I'd do a few book tags this month. Unfortunately, I have searching for some good ones for weeks and had yet to find any I liked, mostly because the questions were pretty generic and ones I've answered multiple times (like … Continue reading Christmas Songs Book Tag

5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 3
So...this week didn't go so well with this challenge. I didn't finish any more books, and I ended up DNFing two I was going to read. Terrier by Tamora Pierce goes straight into my DNF pile. I got about fifty pages in and I realized I could not stand Beka, the protagonist. I used to … Continue reading 5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 3
5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 2
We (and as in we, I mean me) are two weeks into this challenge! And I'm still ridiculously behind schedule. I should have finished my second book last night, but I'm only a fifth of the way into the second book. However, I did get a bunch of reading done, which is nice. I finished … Continue reading 5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 2
Reading Wrap-Up: November, 2018
This month went...tolerably well. I'm still super behind with my 5 Week, 5 Tomes challenge, but I did read technically 8 books this months. I use the word 'technically' because three of them were crocheting books, which take only a fraction of the time to read. But they are still books, so I'm counting them. … Continue reading Reading Wrap-Up: November, 2018
Is Skimming Really Reading?
I read books in two ways. The first is what I usually think of as thoughtful reading. Where you take your time, read a paragraph thoroughly, and then muse about what you just read. The second is what I usually refer to as 'skim' reading. The best way I can describe skim reading is that … Continue reading Is Skimming Really Reading?
5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 1 Update
So, it's been one week since I started this challenge (one I created myself on impulse). And things have been...rocky. I blame Thanksgiving and sickness. I started Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky first, probably because I thought it would be the most challenging. And I'm currently only 170 pages out of 521. That's pretty … Continue reading 5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 1 Update
Bookish Thanksgiving Tag
I know, I know, I'm two days late, but I really wanted to do a post devoted to Thanksgiving. I think it's a super important holiday which, like every other holiday in America, has kind of been turned into shopping and eating. In America, we associate Thanksgiving with the first Thanksgiving where the pilgrims and … Continue reading Bookish Thanksgiving Tag
Authors I Really Want to Read More
I have a massive TBR, which seems to be a common problem with a lot of readers. Usually, it's the case of not having enough time to keep up with all the great books. But with me, I'm the type of reader who is, well, a bit flighty. I jump from genre to genre, author … Continue reading Authors I Really Want to Read More
5 Weeks, 5 Tomes Challenge
So, apparently there is a thing on Booktube (YouTube for books) called Tome Topple. It takes place from Nov. 16th to Nov. 29th. For more information, here's a link to the original video. Now, I love the idea of this challenge of reading only books over 500 pages. However, I didn't like the time limit … Continue reading 5 Weeks, 5 Tomes Challenge
End of Year Book Tag 2018
I saw this tag yesterday on Lucy and A Cup Full of Tea. If you don’t know about her blog, I recommend you check it out! I have a lot of fun to read. Anyway, she did this tag and it looked like fun. So here I am doing it, both because it looked interesting … Continue reading End of Year Book Tag 2018
