    May Goals & An April Update | 2021

    Happy May! April was a crazy month and May is looking to be no different, but I’m ready to crush these goals.

    June TBR List

    Happy almost June! It feels like I’m jumping the gun since there are still 9 days until the end of the month, but I’m already excited about the books I’m going to be flipping through in the next month. The first time I made a TBR list for myself was last month, and I’ve got to say I was a lot more motivated to read knowing I wanted to finish certain books in the month. I haven’t finished them all yet, but it was the best month for reading I have had in a while. Let’s jump into my June TBR list! Image from Goodreads 1. “A Darker Shade of…

    Top 10 Tuesday: Books I Still Need to Read

    Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! This week I’m going to be slightly embarrassed to list some of the books on my shelf that I haven’t read from before my blogging days. I’ve only been blogging for a little over a year now, so this shouldn’t be too bad. Let’s get started! 1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Even though I’ve started it more times than I can count. 2. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams It’s been daringly…

    Top 10 Tuesday: Spring TBR

    Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! This week I’m talking about the books on my To Be Read list for the spring. Most of these are required reading for my YA literature class, but that doesn’t mean I’m any less excited to read them. Let’s get started! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell I’ve actually already started in on this one and it’s GREAT. 2. Midwinter Blood by Marcus Sedgewick 3. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz…

    Top 10 Tuesday: New TBR

    Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! Today I’m going to focus on the new releases I’ve added to my TBR read list for 2016. I probably won’t get through them all, but it’s always better to have too many books to read than not enough. 1. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr It takes place in World War II and features a blind French girl and a German boy. Their paths cross and they learn how important it is…
