I’ve posted tips several times over the years, but with YALLfest 2023 coming up in a couple of weeks, I wanted to repost them because I have things to add! This will be my ninth year attending the festival and the tenth anniversary of my very first YALLfest (HOW has it been an entire decade since I started attending?!?!) and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED! It’s always chaotic, but SO. FUN. This festival is non-negotiable in my schedule and I look […]
THIS POST CONTAINS EXPLICIT SPOILERS FOR FOURTH WING. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK, LOOK AWAY CHILD!! See my original review (I raised my rating to a full 5 stars after my re-read!)

I finished a whopping 103 books – I haven’t hit triple digits since 2013! I also […]
A few years ago I saw Cristina @ Girl in the Pages post about her 5 star reading drought (which was originally inspired by Lauren @ Bookmark Lit’s post here), and I thought it was such a great post, so I did one of my own! It was really interesting to see what me 5 star reads looked like for last year, so I’ve been doing it ever since! Past 5 star books posts 5 star books of 2018 5 […]
