I'm pretty sure I'm one of the last people to read this book, with how big this series has been over the last few years. It's especially gotten bigger this year with the announcement of it being adapted into a TV series on Netflix, coming in April. In said April I will be forced to … Continue reading Book Review: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Book Review: Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky
This book is an interesting one, and one that's been on my TBR for a long time. Not only is the book itself unique, but the story behind it's publication is even more interesting, if also a bit sad. Irène Némirovsky was a Jewish Ukrainian author who lived most of her life in France, converting … Continue reading Book Review: Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky

January 2021 Reading Wrap-up
I can't believe January is already over! This month I read 11 books, which isn't bad considering how busy I am in school currently. However, I was a little disappointed that the majority of books I read (8 of the 11) were three star reads. I suppose that's better than reading really bad books, but … Continue reading January 2021 Reading Wrap-up
Book Review: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
It feels like forever since I have done a book review! I should do more, I know, but I feel like most of the books I read I can condense my thoughts into a paragraph and just post it on Goodreads. But this one...I have a lot of thoughts about. This is a classic I've … Continue reading Book Review: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
Boyfriend Booktube Tag
I saw this tag over on Youtube and so I decided to force my boyfriend (he did agree to do it) to try to do this tag with me. This is a tag created by Myonna Reads over on Youtube. Its whole point is to test a booktubers' boyfriend's (or significant other's) knowledge of reading … Continue reading Boyfriend Booktube Tag

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
