Author Taste Test: Nora Roberts

Today I am starting a new series on my channel, and one to which I must give some credit to Chandler Ainsley, a Booktuber on Youtube, for giving me the idea for this series. She's done several taste tests where she'll read the favorite books of other Booktubers. I thought it was such an interesting …

Book Review: The Library of Legends by Janie Chang

This book is a mix between history and fantasy, and was released a little over a month ago. I am so happy I was able to read it because this book may be my new favorite book released this year that I've read--so far. This may simply because of my immense interest in learning about …

The Summer Book Tag

It's hot...and summer, so I feel like this is the perfect time to do another fun book tag. This one was created by Misskaelyn over on YouTube. I also have been feeling a lot of my book tags have been a bit repetitive recently, so I think I'll back off on doing so many. Usually …

Book Review: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

I finally did it. I finally read the book that the internet has been raving about for the last few years. This is the book that on YouTube I swear everyone was talking about a couple years ago, even those who don't read books. The minimalist movement really started to appeal to me a few …

May 2020 Reading Wrap-up

I had a pretty good month, reading 12 books (including two rereads). I'm also starting a big reread for the …
