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

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.

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.

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

November 2020 Reading Wrap-up
I'm beginning to think I might stress-read. Despite being completely overwhelmed with school, I still managed to read 19 books this month. I mean...wow. That's not a massive amount for me in the summer, but in the school year when I'm working 8 hours a day on school? That seems like a lot. Anyway, I'm … Continue reading November 2020 Reading Wrap-up
Best Classic Books I Read in 2020
2020 has been a crazy year...to say the least. And it's really easy to just look at the negatives and fixate on those. But as 2020 is nearing to a close, I want to focus mostly on the good things from this year. Mainly books...because I'm addicted. I'm going to be doing a few posts … Continue reading Best Classic Books I Read in 2020
Anti TBR Book Tag
I saw this book tag on Jesse the Reader the other day and I knew I had to do it! It's a TBR Book Tag for the books you would never read. It was originally created by Nicole and her Books, so props to her for creating this great tag! Before getting into these questions, … Continue reading Anti TBR Book Tag
How Reading Over 1,500 Books Has Changed My Life

This doesn't count a lot of the books I read as a kid before I discovered Goodreads, but I thought it was an exciting benchmark. Now, … Continue reading How Reading Over 1,500 Books Has Changed My Life
