What I got this week From the publisher: The Hawkweed Prophecy by Irena Brignull Thank you so much Weinstein Books! <3 Made: Nevernight mask I’m pretty proud of this mask! I got the idea from @readwithmikee (IG). I had been wishing that the publisher had made masks to match, like ACOTAR’s promo, and when I saw Mikee’s beautiful photo of the mask she made, I decided to make my own as well. And I LOVE IT! It was a pain […]
This was my first Rainbow Rowell book! And I have to say I do see the appeal. This book was pretty adorable! It’s pure fluff, which isn’t something I would typically pick up, but I did enjoy it. It won’t make it to my favorites, and isn’t something that will necessarily stick with me, but it was a cute and fun read. The idea is kind of creepy, but somehow it worked. It was the book version of one of […]

Happy ship, happy happy ship. *makes heart eyes* I loved every single Blue/Gansey moment so much I thought my heart would explode. MORE BLUE […]
What I got this week Bought: Soldier by Julie Kagawa Cheshire Cat Funko Pop! Vinyl Gryffindor magnet Technically I didn’t really buy the first two. I used my Amazon Rewards points to get Soldier, and my Barnes & Noble settlement credit to get Chessie. Yay free stuff! I stumbled on the Gryffindor magnet at 5 Below.

Okay, let’s face it – I’ve been horrible about putting together these posts lately. The books that I haven’t finished have been a lack of interest, not outright distaste, so I just set the book aside as still being ‘currently reading’ and just never picked them back up again. But it’s time to face the fact that I’m probably not going to be finishing them.
