Mid-Year Bookish Goals Update 2021

We're already halfway done with 2021, so I thought it fitting to take a look at how my reading has been going this year. Let's get to some general reading stats and then we'll get to updating how I'm doing with each of the five goals I had for 2021. 78 (Goodreads goal 100) books …

Book Review: The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren

I don't know why I've been in the mood to read romance (maybe it's the summer beachy feel, not sure). Just after Christmas, I read Lauren's other book, In a Holidaze. It's a Groundhog's Day type story with a Christmasy, romantic twist. While it wasn't a perfect book and I never felt a lot of …

10 Non-bookish facts about me

Recently, on my YouTube channel I've reached 150 subscribers. To celebrate, I decided to do a different type of post. On both my channel and my blog, I almost exclusively talk about books (though some of my longtime readers might remember some random movie/Asian drama posts). So today I want to share 10 non-bookish facts …

Tomorrow is Father's Day and in celebration of all the amazing fathers out there, I thought it would nice to celebrate fictional fathers on my little blog. Like in real life, fictional fathers can support …

May 2021 Reading Wrap-up

Another month is gone and I'm amazed that 2021 is already almost halfway over. Time is seriously flying by so quickly! This month I read 11 books, which wasn't great considering I'm on summer break with not that much to do. However, already in June I've read quite a few books, so I'm assuming I'll …

Is the book always better than the movie?

I hear this so often. Books are always better than the movie. Even those movie adaptations which are absolutely great still pale in comparison to their book counterparts. But is this sentiment really true? My answer (if you are absolutely too busy to read this post) is that yes, often books are better then the …

Books I read that I remember nothing about

For me, remembering books falls into three categories. The first are the books I remember well. Usually these are the books I either absolutely loved or I absolutely hated. The second category are the book that, maybe I don't remember everything about them, but I remember that basics of what its about and what I …
