I bought way too many books this month and it's only day 9! At this rate I'll be building a fort and living in my books. Also I've been pretty lazy with reading and instead have been watching The Bachelorette. I'm still sore about the ending! In an effort to keep myself in check and [...]

June 2017 Book of the Month Club Haul
I love Book of the Month Club. Most of my hauls from the past few months consisted solely of novels I collect from this subscription service. Reason being is that I don't have a large budget per month, so I pay a subscription amount for at least one book to be delivered to me every [...]

It took me exactly one month to finish A Court of Wings and Ruin
Some of you may do this while others take a more traditional approach, but I love to track my books on Goodreads. Being as my day job consists of looking at numbers all the time, I wanted to look at the numbers for a book I was reading. How long does it take me to [...]
