16 Books for my 16th Birthday
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I have a very exciting post today! At some point this week (I’m not revealing my actual birthday), I turned 16! That’s scary, to be honest 😨 I thought it would be fun to talk about some books that got me into reading and ones that are important to me. I’m going in chronological order, as best I can, to see how I’ve grown as a reader. I’ll also be talking a bit about how my favorite genres came to be what they are. This list is starting when I was in elementary school. I didn’t add books I read when I…

Reacting to Poor Reviews of Books I Love
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I have been trying to finish the incomplete posts that are sitting in my drafts folder and this is the one that I was able to write. Today’s post is a bit different than most, but I saw Riddhi @ Whispering Stories do this a while ago and it looked like a lot of fun, so I decided to do my own version. I will be reacting, or responding, to poor reviews of books I love. Disclaimers: I am not trying to spread hate–everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that. This is just for fun, I do not…

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…

My Favorite Reads of 2021
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I am talking about my favorite books that I read in 2021. Last year, I read a total of 53 books, which was nowhere near my goal, but I’m still okay with the amount I read. For this post, I have my top ten favorite reads. And to make it harder on myself, I ranked them; we’ll be going in reverse order, starting with number ten! #10: Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales “I was with them and they were with me and we were with each other.

Christmas Songs Book Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I apologize for disappearing for two weeks. Final exams were last week and they definitely took their toll this year. Luckily, my last day was Thursday and I’m on winter break now, so I’ll have more time for blogging! I know Monday isn’t normally a day I post, but I’ve been gone, so I figured that I would go ahead and post this. I’m not doing Blogmas this year, but I still wanted to do a seasonal post for the holidays. So today I am doing the Christmas Songs Book Tag! And also ignoring all the other tags I have to do.…

The Mysterious Benedict Society Book Tag (Original!)
When I found out that the Mysterious Benedict Society series was getting a TV show, I was very excited. I’m sad the first season only has eight episodes, but they’re all done very well, so I’m not complaining. So, in (very late) honor of the Mysterious Benedict Society book series TV show getting released on Disney+, I decided to make a tag surrounding it! I was honestly a little nervous to post this, because I’ve never made a tag before and I don’t want to mess anything up, but I figured that it would be really fun to share with you all, so I gave it a go. A few…

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…
