Happy New Year! Not that it's really all that happy, but standard phrases and all that. I kind of took my time getting around to this update because of headaches and general feelings of meh. As to what I've been up to for the past month, mostly just a lot of reading. (Well, listening, but you get it.) No new games or podcasts or even movies/shows, I don't think. Didn't do anything for the...
It's the end of another year, and that means it's time to do all my bookish end of the year posts! Yay! I don't do a lot of posts about book covers anymore, but I do so love a pretty cover. Good artwork and/or good, cohesive design *chef's kiss* So anyway, here are all my favorite covers from the books I read in 2020! *I did my best to find cover artists, but I just couldn't find the...
I'm just gonna say it: I hate the new year. I don't hate the year itself, but I hate the holiday. There's all this pressure to make the new year better than the last, and you're supposed to be super positive, and you're supposed to make resolutions and goals, and everything is supposed to be...
I know I say this every year, but this really is one of my favorite posts of the year. What book blogger doesn't love talking about their favorite books??? I was afraid I might not find as many great books as usual this year since I wasn't able to read as many, but it turns out I went for quality over quantity because I still found so many amazing ones. So here are my top ten top eleven favorites...
Characters are the heart of books for me, so, as usual at this time every year, it's time for me to talk about my favorites! The way authors can create entirely new people and make them feel real is always incredible, but there are some characters that stand out more than others, whether it's because they're so relatable or unique or interesting or sweet, and these are my favorites (which may...
I haven't been able to put together book cover posts lately because of my headache problems, but nobody panic! I still managed to make this post to showcase some of my favorite covers from the books I read this year :-) Unfortunately I couldn't include ALL the covers I loved (there were so many!), and I couldn't make the collage, but I've still got some super gorgeous book covers here, and I...
Simon Snow was the chosen one, but now that he's done what he was supposed to do, he can't seem to get past the trauma or do anything with his life. Hoping to bring him out of his funk, Penny convinces Simon and Baz to take a road trip through the US, but the three of them seem to find magical trouble wherever they...
Simon is in his last year at Watford, a school for magicians, but he still doesn't feel like the chosen one since he still can't control his magic. When his roommate and enemy, Baz, gets a Visiting from his dead mother, the two form a truce as they work together to uncover the truth about her...
Technically, I'm not back from my hiatus yet, but, well, I'll explain. I've been having this problem with some of the muscles in my face, kinda like an RSI, but it gets worse and gives me bad headaches whenever I do anything that causes a lot of eye motion or anything that causes the muscles to move. So pretty much everything, but especially reading, using the computer (which includes...
Oh boy, the titles for the later months in the year are really a mouthful lol. Anyway, I can't believe there are only four months left in the year. But there are still a lot of great books to look forward to! Especially in September and October, for some reason. So here are some of the books that I'm excited for that you all should be...
