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

Book Review: My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier
This is the third book by Daphne Du Maurier I have read in the last few months, alongside Jamaica Inn and Rebecca. The former I loved, the latter...I didn't. So I went into this book with pretty average expectations. And I was pleasantly surprised by most of this book, until the very ending. Release: 1951 … Continue reading Book Review: My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier
Book Review: Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer
So this book...it...hmm... I fully acknowledge that part of the reason I didn't like this book was because I knew nothing about it before picking it up from the library. It was released about a month ago, and I had heard of Jeff VanderMeer being an interesting writer and I randomly read it. I did … Continue reading Book Review: Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer
Reading Wrap-up: December, 2019
The year is officially over, but before I completely move on to new and hopefully better books, I have to do one last reading wrap-up for December. I ended last month with 11 books read. Not exactly the best, but I felt like I was catching up on a lot of things I had put … Continue reading Reading Wrap-up: December, 2019
Wrapping Up 2019
Well, 2019 is finally finishing tomorrow. I was just looking back on my wrap up of last year and I had said that nothing seemed to go right in 2018. For this year, it was pretty much the opposite. Everything just seemed to go so right, for multiple reasons. Anyway, like last year, I'm used … Continue reading Wrapping Up 2019
End of Year Book Tag 2019
I cannot believe another year is gone already! It seems like just yesterday that it was 2018 and my family was attempting to sell our house. Oh, how many changes have occurred in a matter of 12 months. Anyway, I did this book tag at the end of last year (you can check it out … Continue reading End of Year Book Tag 2019
Christmas Cracker Book Tag
I mean, you know I have to do a Christmas book tag. I found this one and it looked fun and perfect for this time of year. As of when this post goes up, it's Christmas Eve Eve! For those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas! For those who don't, Happy Holidays! I discovered this book … Continue reading Christmas Cracker Book Tag
Book Challenges Wrap-Up 2019
This year I tried to do something new with my reading, and do a few year-long book challenges. I also attempted to set some of my own personal reading goals, some of which I succeeded and others I sadly failed. If you've been reading my wrap-ups for the last few months, you'll probably know what … Continue reading Book Challenges Wrap-Up 2019
Looking to 2020 and Blog Changes
I can't believe it's already the end of the year and 2020 is just around the corner. It seems like yesterday that I made the move from Minnesota to Ohio and then I last minute decided to go back to college...the last year has been honestly crazy for me. Crazy in many good ways. Anyway, … Continue reading Looking to 2020 and Blog Changes
Book Review: The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Volume 1)
When I read Les Miserables earlier that year, which sits at a whopping 1500 pages, I was pretty sure I probably would never read a book longer than that. Little did I know what I was getting into when I picked up this book, which sits at 700 pages...and it's the first of three volumes. … Continue reading Book Review: The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Volume 1)
