Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Happy (early) Valentine’s Day/Galentine’s Day/Singles Awareness Day! Today’s TTT is a love freebie, and anyone who knows me at all knows I don’t really care for romance in books. There are a few that I love, but they have to be done just a certain way for me to enjoy them. So, for those who are like me and would rather have plot over romance, I wanted to share some […]
Looking back at last year’s resolutions Here’s my post from last year! Reading/blogging resolutions Hit 100 books again. NAILED IT! I one upped myself and hit 150! Continue to read different genres. Nailed this one too. My sci-fi and fantasy wedges only accounted for about 70% on my pie chart, which is outstanding for me! Hit 100% ratio on both Netgalley and Edelweiss. I didn’t quite make it.

It’s always chaotic, but SO. FUN. This festival is non-negotiable in my schedule and I look […]

I recently re-read Fourth Wing after falling into a massive, hours-long black hole on TikTok looking at theories and small details that many people missed on the first read through. This post builds on some of the theories I saw before my re-read (which told me […]
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. I discovered that I love zucchini, and I’m eating onions and pork chops (which is HUGE for me, because I’ve always hated any pork that wasn’t bacon or sausage!). I tried […]
