    Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2023

    I almost never do Top Ten Tuesdays expect for this prompt now. I love learning about new releases, even when it does expand my TBR. I haven’t been keeping up with new releases recently, so I went searching and found a bunch of soon-to-be-published books that sound super interesting. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl where there is a topic and you make a list that best fits it. Today’s topic is Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2023. Friday I’m in Love by Camryn Garrett|YA Contemporary|Release Date: January 10, 2023I love the concept behind this story!

    Let’s Talk Bookish: Do Book Titles Matter?

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I am very, very excited about some bookish things, mainly the fact that Rick Riordan is releasing two books in 2023! He’s writing a novel for Nico di Angelo, The Sun and the Star, and a novel for the original PJO trio that takes place after The Heroes of Olympus, called The Chalice of the Gods. I need to reread the PJO series and The Trials of Apollo, so I can remember everything. Maybe I’ll do a binge read over winter break. Moving on to today’s post! I am pretty sure this is the latest I have ever posted an LTB discussion.…

    2022 Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag

    It is that time of the year again! How? I do not know. Can someone please explain to me how the passage of time is so weird? I am back with a book blogging community staple: the Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag. I did this last year and had a lot of fun with it. There’s a few variations of this tag out there, with a bunch of prompts, so I normally go with the ones that I have answers to. General Books read: 32Reading goal: 32/60Average rating: 4.2Most-read genre: Fantasy I am ahead on my reading goal! Just barely. Last year, I was severely behind, but I’m doing pretty…

    My Favorite Quotes From Books | aka things characters said that pull at my heartstrings

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Sorry for not posting yesterday, none of my posts were close to being done because school got in the way of everything. But then I got a great idea for a different post and immediately started working on it. I was talking to a family friend the other day and she was looking for quotes on happiness. I will admit, the majority of quotes I note down aren’t exactly happy. They’re either very sad or very deep and emotional, often centering around a theme of the book. That conversation gave me the idea for this post! I will be listing some of…

    Mini Reviews: A Collection of LGBTQ+ Books in Honor of Pride Month

    Hello, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I haven’t done a book review in nearly a month, which is kind of surprising, but I wanted to do these reviews as a collection, so I’ve been working on them for a while. These are all from my Pride Month TBR which I set at the beginning of June. Quick disclaimer that there are going to be no unmarked spoilers in any of these reviews. If there are any, they will be marked and hidden.

    Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Can you believe it’s already mid-2021?! Cause I can’t. I swear 2021 only started a little while ago. I’ve seen a few variations of this tag and I couldn’t possibly answer all the prompts, so I did the ones that I wanted to talk about. General Books read: 28Reading goal: 28/75Average rating: 4.2Most read genre: Contemporary I am pretty behind on my reading goal, as you can see. I’ve never tracked my reading before, but now that I am, it’s actually a lot of fun. Making spreadsheets is very satisfying and it suits my liking of perfection. I’m kind of surprised that…

    Pride Month TBR

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re doing well. As I’m sure most of you know, June is Pride Month, so I have a list of some books with LGBTQ+ representation that I’m planning on reading this month. This is a very ambitious TBR, because I normally don’t read this many books per month, but hopefully I’ll get through some of them. All of these books are new to me, so I’m looking forward to reading them. I honestly don’t have a whole lot to say about these books, except for the fact that I’m really looking forward to reading them. I’ve heard a lot of good things about all of these…
