  • Taming the TBR Update

    A few weeks ago, I put out a short-term project called #tamingtheTBR. This was basically a way for me to clear my bookish calendar for the summer and let me read whatever I want. It’s the summer after all and the summer deserves certain types of reads. For me, it’s going to be a lot…

  • Living a Wild Bookish Life

    Happy Friday everyone! I’m making a big announcement on my Instagram page today and I thought I’d write a little blog post about what I’m trying to do. I’ll probably end up oversharing because I’m just that kind of person! If you don’t already know, I’m a bookstagrammer. A bookstagrammer is a person who dedicates…

  • May 2018 Wrap Up

    I seriously can’t believe that May is over. Seriously! I wasn’t even prepared to write this post. So I took a look back at my month and finally ready to share my findings.

  • Speak No Evil by Uzodinma Iweala

    I haven’t read a book that made me mad in a really long time. I’m glad that this book was the break from that. When I get mad at a book that’s really good, it’s because of how it all played out and what the outcome of everyone’s actions led to. It’s been a really…

  • The Pisces by Melissa Broder

    TGFMB – Thank Goodness for Melissa Broder. Sometimes you come across a novel that completely entrances you, baffles you, and eventually guts you with surprises you just didn’t fathom possible.

  • My Most Anticipated Reads of May 2018

    And just like that, we’re in May. It feels like April kind of swept on by but that happens when you’re on vacation for two weeks straight.

  • Playing with Matches by Hannah Orenstein

    This is your classic book to take to the beach. While this one won’t be out until June, it’ll definitely be the book you take with you on those summer vacations.

  • Emergency Contact by Mary HK Choi

    I’ll admit, this is one of those books I picked up because the cover was gorgeous. I’d never heard of Mary HK Choi or the work she’s done, but I knew she wrote a YA for the current generation of kids and that it was epic. The cover seemed like a bonus.

  • Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko

    I kind of went into this book blindly. Because a friend was doing a challenge to read books by Native American authors. With very little knowledge of what this book is about, I read it. I could write a whole dissertation on the different themes of this novel. It was surprisingly short and compact for…

  • Wow. I sat down with this book over the past few days and I couldn’t put it down. Honestly, I would try and use the bathroom and hold it for an hour only succumbing to the excruciating pain of holding it for that long. I’m lucky it’s the beginning of the year and there wasn’t…
