Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Today’s prompt was actually to pick a previous topic, but I chose to do a freebie! I recently finished Little Thieves, and knew from the very first chapter that it would be a 5 star book for me, so it made me want to post about this topic! It’s very rare that I find a book the hooks me helplessly from the very first page. Here’s a list of all the […]

I don’t normally make non-bookish posts, but this was something I really wanted to make a post about! Meal delivery service has been a GAME CHANGER for me. I enjoy cooking again, I love trying new recipes, I’ve experienced new foods, and I eat things I wouldn’t touch before.

This one took me by surprise! It’s enchanting, similar to the uncanny way of The Ten Thousand Doors of January and Strange the Dreamer (although I didn’t love it quite as much as those two). I think the vibe of this book was my favorite part! It’s very mysterious, and magical in that strange way that magical realism has, but without being nonsensical like most magical realism. It’s hard to talk about this without giving anything away – I went […]
