April ’20 Wrap Up | One Month Down… Potentially Another To Go…

Hello everyone! I hope you have all been safe and well and healthy (physically, mentally, emotionally, all the -llys). I've officially entered my 58th day of social distancing/quarantining. I haven't done any baking from scratch or made a Tik Tok account so I'd say everything's going pretty smoothly. Let's get into my reads! I set …

March ’20 Wrap Up | Isolation??? I Watched One Movie this Month??? Not Enough Lotion in the World???

Heeello fellow quarantinees. Quarantiners? Quarantees... I hope everyone has been safe indoors, being productive or not productive (totally up to you, not trying to dictate anyone's life), fulfilling creative expressions, catching up on Netflix or TBRs, and washing your hands and moisturizing them. I've decided that I'm going to use this blog as a way …

The Simultaneously Late and Early January/February ’20 Wrap Up

Hello friends!  Again, it’s been a while since I’ve said hello. I wanted to drop a quick wrap up from this past January and February before disappearing again for six months. (This is also my futile attempt at poking fun at my inconsistencies in the hopes you’ll laugh with me and not at me.) Let's …

She Speaks #04: Why I’m Pickier With What Books I Read

Hello everyone! I hope you’ve survived these 5,000 days in January so far. Just a few things really quickly:  I did not create a master post of all my 2019 reads, or any of my best reads of the decade, or anything similar to that. I am super impressed with every single blogger that had …

October update: in which I complain about school dictating my whole life

Hello everyone!!! Or no one, if no one reads this. This could very well just be an online tome of my poor reading upkeep. 🙄 Anyway, I'm back for a quick update on my reading + new school life! For those who don't know, which might actually be all of you, I have returned to college …

Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag!

Happy July everyone! Hopefully none of you are falling apart during this eclipse (the way that I am). I've never done this tag before, so it took me a while to get all these answers out, but I hope you enjoy my repetitive answers for this year, haha. 1. Best book you've read so far …

She Speaks #03: Why I Keep the Goodreads Reading Challenge Around

I’ve only been active on the book blogging community for a couple of years now but have noticed a loud divide on the Goodreads Reading Challenge since my humble (and unmotivated) beginnings. I’ve had my fair share of annoyance with Goodreads, probably the same ones that align with other book bloggers as well. As much …

She Speaks # 02: Now that I’m an e-reader…

When I was younger, maybe in the seventh or eighth grade, I had vowed with my then best friend, also an avid reader, that I would never give up reading physical copies of books. There's an empowering feeling to being able to flip a page, owning a yellowed over book, knowing every single piece of …

Three’s Company: Girl Made of Stars | In Her Skin | A Quiet Kind of Thunder

Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake 5/5 | An amazing and honest story of siblings Owen and Mara who learn to deal with tumultuous events in their lives. This is my first AHB book and she officially is on my list of instant-buy authors. This story she penned made me think, especially in …

Three’s Company: Mariam Sharma Hits the Road | The Movie Version | Done Dirt Cheap

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! As I've mentioned before, solo reviews didn't fascinate me at all. I've started reviewing most of my books in groups of three, with no real order to them aside from that they're the most current books I've read. Let's get started! *Every book title links to its Goodreads …
