    October Wrap-Up 2024!

    I wanted to be reading so much more than I did this month. The fall season is my favorite time of the year for books but life just kept getting in the way! Starting a new school year while narrowing down colleges/sorting out applications on top of my normal schedule made this period super hectic…

    Let’s Discuss: When Reading Tastes Change

    Is it a reading slump, or is a pattern emerging with books that you thought were your vibe but now seem like a chore to get through? I’ve found this recently when reading books, specifically those aimed at different age groups. Middle grade used to be my thing, and I prided myself in still being…

    ARC Review: Witty in Pink by Erica George

    Keep your friends close. Keep your nemesis closer.
