And finally we are leaving the 20th century behind and traveling back into the 19th. It also happens to be my favorite century to learn about historically, especially with the Victorian Era in England and mass travel and exploration abroad. But if this is the first part of this series you read, here's a list … Continue reading My Favorite Book of the Year: 1899-1890

July 2020 Reading Wrap-up
I cannot believe I'm already wrapping up July and we're halfway through 2020. What a year it has been for everything. I hope you're all staying safe and healthy during this pretty scary time. Anyway, this month I really got into reading and ended up finishing twenty-three books, which is really impressive considering my average … Continue reading July 2020 Reading Wrap-up
Reading Rush Wrap-Up 2020
I have completed quite a few Reading Rushes, before it was even called the Reading Rush, but this year I kind of blew it out of the water. I finished all my seven books in nearly five days as opposed to seven, with no problem at all. I attribute this partially to the fact that … Continue reading Reading Rush Wrap-Up 2020
Mid Year Book Freakout Tag: 2020
This is a tag which goes around Booktube and reading blogs every year, and I did it last year. Check that one out if you feel like it. Anyways, this tag was created by two creators over on Youtube, but I can only find the co-creater Earl Grey Books's video. I like doing this tag … Continue reading Mid Year Book Freakout Tag: 2020
Book Haul #6
Before you all say it, yes, I did just do a book haul like two months ago and I definitely have a problem with buying books. The good news is that once summer is over and I'm back in college, I probably won't have time to think of buying books, so that's good. I recently … Continue reading Book Haul #6
Reading Rush 2020 Announcement
I'm so excited to be participating in another Reading Rush! I have been doing this read-a-thon for a few years now, and it's one of my favorites. It also helps that it's during summer, a time when I'm usually less busy. If you have no idea what the Reading Rush is, it's a week long … Continue reading Reading Rush 2020 Announcement
My Favorite Book of the Year: 1909-1900
We are finally to the turn of the century. It seems like we've been traveling back so fast, and yet I started this series nearly a year ago. Anyway, the first decade of the 1900's marked a shift from old traditional towards a new way of life. Queen Victoria died in 1901, the Wright Brothers … Continue reading My Favorite Book of the Year: 1909-1900
June 2020 Reading Wrap-up
I can't believe it's already the beginning of July. This year indeed has been insane. This month I read 13 books, and they mostly fell in the middle range of rating around three or four stars. There weren't many amazing books I read, but also not many bad books I read. It's getting to be … Continue reading June 2020 Reading Wrap-up
My Favorite Book of the Year: 1919-1910
Ah, the 1910's, perhaps most famous for WWI, but also marked with massive changes in society with the women's right to vote and famous incidents like the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and Alfred Wegener's theory of continental rift (which I learned about in my Geology this last semester). However, this is also the … Continue reading My Favorite Book of the Year: 1919-1910
May 2020 Reading Wrap-up
I feel like 2020 is just divulving into chaos...why can't we all not be idiots and replace violence with love? Anyways, I will avoid everything crazy going on and focus on my reading this month. I had a pretty good month, reading 12 books (including two rereads). I'm also starting a big reread for the … Continue reading May 2020 Reading Wrap-up
