Book Review: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

This is perhaps one of the most anticipated books of 2019, and a few months ago I'm pretty sure most readers were talking about it. This is the first book of Bardugo's new series, and I believe her first adult book as well (though we'll get to my thoughts on that later). I usually don't …

Wrapping Up 2019

Well, 2019 is finally finishing tomorrow. I was just looking back on my wrap up of last year and I had said that nothing seemed to go right in 2018. For this year, it was pretty much the opposite. Everything just seemed to go so right, for multiple reasons. Anyway, like last year, I'm used …

End of Year Book Tag 2019

I cannot believe another year is gone already! It seems like just yesterday that it was 2018 and my family was attempting to sell our house. Oh, how many changes have occurred in a matter of 12 months. Anyway, I did this book tag at the end of last year (you can check it out …

Book Challenges Wrap-Up 2019

This year I tried to do something new with my reading, and do a few year-long book challenges. I also attempted to set some of my own personal reading goals, some of which I succeeded and others I sadly failed. If you've been reading my wrap-ups for the last few months, you'll probably know what …

Upcoming Finals, College Update, and Explanations

It is the week of Thanksgiving, which means I have most of the week off from school, giving me a chance to catch up with a lot of homework, as well as study for finals coming up in a couple weeks. I also have to worry about actually celebrating Thanksgiving and trying to catch up …

How Technology Changed Reading

I'm a big reader. Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of stumbling across one of my blog posts will have guessed that. I am also that type of snobbish reader who still believes real books are better than digital or auditory ones. No, I'm not the type who will shame you for not reading …

Midterms and Sanity: College/Life Updates

So, I am currently about halfway into my first semester back in college and I realize I haven't really given you any updates on my college and classes. This is mostly because I've been so busy. This week is especially tough, as midterms are here and I've been lacking sleep for the last couple weeks. …

The Classes I’m Taking in College Fall, 2019+Books

I know what you're thinking: "Stop talking about your college and get back to your reading blog." Well, I'm sorry, but with two days left before classes start, it's pretty much all I'm thinking of. I have even slowed down my reading a bit in preparation. However, don't worry, for the next few weeks I …

Things I’m Not Looking Forward To In College

A couple days ago, I did a post on Things I'm Looking Forward To In College, and this is the opposite post of that. As of this post going on, I have exactly one week until classes begin, and I'm excited (though also a little terrified). However, as I mentioned in my last post, there …

Things I’m Looking Forward To In College

Since I'm going to be starting college in a little over a week, you should probably expect to see many more college-themed blog posts. Probably because my mind will be on college, so it will make keeping up with my blog posts much easier if I don't have to think about two things at once. …
