Before I get into this, know that I’m not necessarily talking about disney-type villains who seem to be ambitious and evil for the sake of power. I’m talking about villains who don’t see themselves as the villain, who truly believe that what they’re doing is for the greater good. There’s a fine line between an […]
Expecto All the Feels: Rereading Harry Potter
Today’s post is positively bookish. And it’s all about one of the greatest series of all time about the struggle between good and evil, between doing what is right and what is easy. Harry Freakin’ Potter. I’ve re-read the first three Harry Potter books so far this year in between other books. As of writing […]
The Best & Worst Books I’ve Read This Year
It’s happening, y’all. We’re winding down on what seemed to be the longest freaking year ever. I mean, Black Panther came out THIS year! I don’t know about y’all, but it feels like it was released in 2017. Anyways, I know with the end of the year comes a flurry of best-books-of-the-year lists, so I […]
Queen of Air and Darkness Hangover Recovery Kit Review
Today’s post features a bookish one-time box from Fae Crate. I have never ordered a subscription box that featured a bookish theme. I’ve only ever ordered a one-time box from Nerdblock, but I was disappointed with that box. (I’ve heard they’re coming back, so maybe I’ll check them out!) Back in October, I saw a […]
Top 5 Favorite YA Book Covers (so far)
I love books. I know, what a shocker. You’re shocked. I love everything about reading and books in general. Especially the covers. Yeah, yeah, “don’t judge a book by its cover”, blah, blah, blah. Let’s be real. We all do it. If you are one of the rare unicorns who doesn’t, bravo. But I’m shallow […]
NaNoWriMo Mid-Month Update!
So, here’s the thing. I’ve tried to do Nanowrimo a few times in the past. I think it was two years ago that I spent all of October outlining in the hopes of hitting that golden 50,000 word count goal. However, this hasn’t happened yet. I know, I know. It should be about starting your […]
Am I finally going to read the Throne of Glass series?
With the release of the final installment in Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass series, it’s only appropriate that I dedicate an entire post to is what sure to be a classic YA Fantasy series. My first disclaimer: I have only read the first two books, Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight. However, I […]
Issues in the Bookish Community
Click-bait title aside, I didn’t want to write this post. I hate anything to do with “drama”, but I feel this needs to be addressed within the book community. Not that I’m some kind of authority on the matter, but I’m going to explode if I don’t get it out somehow. Throughout the last six […]
The Cruel Prince Book Review
Let me preface this by saying that I hadn’t read any of Holly Black’s work before. I’d heard of many who praise her books, but I simply hadn’t got around to reading any of them. Of course, when The Cruel Prince was released earlier this year, I was so intrigued by the premise that it […]
Geekerella by Ashley Poston Review
Marketed as a ‘love letter to fandom’, Geekerella plays with the well-known Cinderella story and strives to offer a fresh take. Our titular geek, Danielle (or Elle for short) is orphaned and living with a ‘stepmomster’ and two stepsisters. Poston writes Elle as a fan obsessed with the fictional science fiction show, Starfield. Starfield comes […]
