    Making a TBR Jar

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Happy late Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates. I hope you had a great holiday. Today I have a bit different post: I’m showing you how I made my TBR jar. I’ve been wanting to make one of these for a while. I started making it a few months ago, but then got busy. So I took advantage of some free time and was able to finish it! I didn’t have an actual jar and I didn’t want to go buy one, so I ended up using an empty ice cream container. Talenti is one of my favorite ice cream brands, especially because…

    Let’s Talk Bookish: Do You Get Overwhelmed by Your TBR Pile?

    Hey, everyone, happy Friday! I hope you’re all doing well. I am very glad that it is Friday because I get a three-day weekend for Labor Day.

This one is all about my TBR, which is in desperate need of shortening. Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits where we discuss various topics and share our opinions.

    2022 Pride Month TBR

    Happy almost Pride Month, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Like last year, I am planning on reading books with LGBTQ+ rep in June. As a person with a family member who is transgender, support for the LGBTQ+ community is important to me. I’m setting my TBR lower this year, so hopefully I can get through all of them. Heartstopper: Volume Three and Volume Four by Alice Oseman I finished the second volume a little while ago and I can’t wait to read the rest of them. Charlie and Nick are so perfect together. I am an adamant “book before movie/TV show” person, so I had to read the…

    February Wrap-Up | Mysteries, Confusing Weather, and a Lack of Free Time

    I considered talking about how fast time has gone by, like I usually do, but for now, I’m not going to. Instead, we’ll focus on something else. This month was full of mysteries! I read mystery novels and watched a mystery TV show; there’s just a whole lot of mystery. BOOKS READ The Burning God (The Poppy War #3) by R.F. Kuang|πŸ“–|β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜….5Wow, what a way to end a series. I can not believe how good this whole trilogy was. The Burning God was a thrilling and heartbreaking conclusion.

    January Wrap-Up | We’re Already a Month into 2022?

    January is already over?! How? It literally just started. I refuse to believe that we are already into the month of February. But, we are, so I guess I’ll just have to accept it. For those who celebrate it, happy Lunar New Year! Today marks the first day of the celebration, as well as the first day of the Year of the Tiger. Let’s hope this year is better than the last two. BOOKS READ The Poppy War (The Poppy War #1) by R.F. Kuang|πŸ“–|β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜….5I can’t believe I waited so long to read this. I absolutely loved this. The writing, the characters, the worldbuilding.

    December Wrap-Up | A Cold But Otherwise Okay End to the Year

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Happy New Year’s Eve! We are so close to 2022 and I can’t believe it. This is the last time I am going to say this: How did 2021 go by so fast? It’s like I blinked and the year was over. Are we ready for 2022? I don’t know. This is my last post of the year, which is kind of crazy, honestly. BOOKS READ I read 5 books which I’m happy about. I didn’t really stick to my TBR, but I read 2 out of 3 books that I planned to read this month, plus a couple others. The Nightingale…

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. We are on to the last month of the year, can you believe it? 2022 is right around the corner, which is really shocking. I say this a lot, I know–you probably get tired of listening to me talk about it, but whatever. We’ll still talk about it. But for now, I’ll spare you that and instead of talking about the future, I’ll talk about the past: my wrap-up for November! BOOKS READ I managed to read 5 books this month, which I’m really happy about! I did not think that I would get to this many, but two of them I…

    August Wrap-Up | School Started and I’m Exhausted

    This month was exhausting. It was pretty good overall but so many things happened. I’ll talk a but more about what’s going on later in this post, but for now, let’s go through the past month. BOOKS READ I only managed to read 2 books this month, which is my lowest yet. These Violent Delights told me a long time to get through and I didn’t have that much time to read, unfortunately. And also, I did not stick to my TBR I was planning to do at all this month. These Violent Delights (These Violent Delights #1) by Chloe Gong|β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…1/2I loved this book so much!

    July Wrap-Up | Very Busy, Not Exactly in a Good Way

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. These months keep flying by and it’s like I can’t keep up. This month kept me so busy, I didn’t have a lot of time to focus on the things I wanted to do like writing and being active on my blog and others. Nevertheless, this month still went okay.
