Books, Reading, and everything in between
Quick update: I'll be heading out on vacation this week and I won't be posting as often as I do. I'll be back later this month with stories and new books to share! I can't believe that another month has come and gone. I've always regarded March to be the longest month. This is probably [...]
Here's another addition to the #BadAssBookBabes interview series! In this series, I sit down with different book bloggers and bookstagrammers who are just bad ass book readers. Some of them are fighting for a cause. Others are just trying to escape the dole drums of the world. Recently, I emailed Morgan from @nycbookgirl and asked [...]

I was in one of those moods where it felt like ages since I read something magical. There’s a lot going on in real life that feels so different and messy. It’s like one of those montage scenes in movies about the Vietnam War where you just see one depressing headline after another followed by [...]
I honestly am so happy that a book like this exists. Shortly after being told I had OCD, I tried to search the book world for fiction stories featuring characters with similar traits. I was a little surprised to find out that the world's exposure to OCD was only As Good As It Gets with [...]
I know this review is a long time coming. I've been mulling over this book for the past couple of weeks. I don't know how to describe my feelings for this book, but I know they are good. I just don't know how to explain it the best way possible. I'm going to at least [...]
