    March Wrap-Up | In Which Time Went Slow and Fast

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. We are officially one-fourth of the way through the year! That is crazy to think about. And it has been over two years since the first COVID shutdown happened! That’s even crazier. It’s so weird to think that I started the pandemic as an eighth grader and now I’m in tenth grade, soon to be halfway done with high school. March was a super busy month for me, with a lot of stuff happening. I’ll talk about some of these later on, but for now, let’s get into what I read. BOOKS READ Counting Down with You by Tashie Bhuiyan|📱|★★★★.5|my reviewI have…

    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|📖|★★★★.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. The relationships were everything in this story. Rin and Kitay have my heart, the love they have for each other strengthening their…

    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|📖|★★★★.5I can’t believe I waited so long to read this. I absolutely loved this. The writing, the characters, the worldbuilding. The history and government was so…

    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…

    November Wrap-Up | Lots of Reading and Time With Family and Friends

    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…

    September & October Wrap-Up | Back From Hiatus, Blog Redesign, and New Blogging Schedule (maybe?)

    Hello, hello, everyone! I am back! It’s been over a month since my last post and I’m happy to say that the break I took was really good for me. I was gone for a lot longer than I expected but school was taking up most of my time and I wasn’t feeling ready to come back yet. But I have returned and am excited to resume blogging! I’m going to be doing two months in this wrap up, as well as give you some updates about the blog, so let’s get into it! Oh and by the way, where did this year go? I know I say this in…

    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|★★★★1/2I loved this book so much! All of my incredibly…

    My Experience with Camp NaNoWriMo | Looking Back on my Goals and What I Accomplished

    Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Camp NaNoWriMo ended a little while ago and I wanted to take a little time to see what I accomplished during the month. Although I didn’t reach my goal, I think I was still able to make a lot of progress on my WIP. How did writing go and did I reach my goal? Writing this draft went pretty well. I decided to handwrite it because I was spending so much time on a screen already, I needed to have something that didn’t involve an electronic device. I think handwriting forced me to slow down a little and really think about what…

    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. BOOKS READ The Weight of the Stars by K. Ancrum| ★★★★1/2I started out not loving this book, I didn’t get what the hype of it was. But then the ending came and I discovered that it is brilliant. The last 20ish percent of the book had so many emotions in it and…

    June Wrap-Up | An Uneventful but Productive(ish) Start to Summer Break

    This post is later than usual, I know. I kind of forgot that June was ending and I also procrastinated, so this wrap up comes almost a week late. Also, did I say another month could pass by? We’re already half way through 2021. Craziness. June was pretty uneventful, but it was still pretty good. BOOKS READ I managed to read 5(ish) books this months! It wasn’t great and I only made it through half my TBR for the month (which, evidently, I set way to high), but I think I did okay. I also really enjoyed all the books I read, which was great! Picture Us in the Light…
