Book Review: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez

It feels like forever since I have done a book review! I should do more, I know, but I feel like most of the books I read I can condense my thoughts into a paragraph and just post it on Goodreads. But this one...I have a lot of thoughts about. This is a classic I've …

Boyfriend Booktube Tag

I saw this tag over on Youtube and so I decided to force my boyfriend (he did agree to do it) to try to do this tag with me. This is a tag created by Myonna Reads over on Youtube. Its whole point is to test a booktubers' boyfriend's (or significant other's) knowledge of reading …

First Book Unhaul of 2021

On Wednesday I did a book haul post, and this is an accompaniment post to that one, where I unhaul 20 books to match the 20 books I bought. Here's a link to the book haul, if you missed it. Now, even though I'm getting rid of a lot of books, that does not necessarily …

First Book Haul of 2021

Technically, most of these books were purchased at the end of 2020. If you read my Bookish Resolutions for 2021, you may remember I talked about being more conscious and selective about the books I bought. For every book I buy, I have to get rid of one of my books. In this way, I'll …

Books I’m Looking Forward to in 2021

I've mentioned before on my blog that I usually don't look forward to many new book releases, because I'm the type of reader who prefers reading books which stand the test of time. An overhyped book from 2021 may or may not be good, but a 2014 book which everyone still loves is probably at …

Failing? Winterween 2021

Last week, from Jan. 4 to Jan. 10, I participated in the Winterween readathon this year. It's a challenge created by Oliviareadsalatte and Gabbyreads over on Youtube. The overall idea of the readathon is that just because it's winter and not Halloween does not mean we can't read some scary reads. Honestly, part of the …

My Pre-Semester Checklist for College

I can't believe winter vacation (寒假-han jia in Chinese) is over and this Monday I'm going back to college. Like last semester, this one will be entirely online. I'm taking six classes, including a lab (which I have no idea how they'll do online), and this might be the first semester I'm genuinely not looking …

2021 New Year Bookish Resolutions

Happy New Year! It's a new year, which means new reading goals. So today I thought I would share my Bookish Resolutions for 2021. Also, my apologies for this post going up later on Wednesday as opposed to at 8:00 am Eastern time as it usually does. I wish I had an excuse like technology …

December 2020 Reading Wrap-up

Finally 2020 is over! I look forward to starting 2021 with a positive outlook and hope for the future. December was a good reading month for me, since I was off over school for most of the month and so I could dive a lot into reading. I read a total of 21 books last …
