    July Wrap-Up 2024!

    Here’s why I love to read: I get to be entertained, escape into another world, and learn new things. This month encompassed all of those reasons and more! This month has been my best reading month of all time, and as someone who reads a lot of books, I do not use that statement lightly.…

    Guys, June was intense. I’ve had a lot of changes happen in my life but I’ve also been able to do some pretty cool things as well, so I’m just taking each day as it comes right now! I had a great reading month and now that the weather seems to be taking a turn…

    I can’t remember the last time I took part in a book tag but I thought this was a great opportunity to do a mid-year check-in to see how the reading year is going so far! Credits for these questions go to: Rachel Catherine on YouTube. I’ve had 7 five star books this year so…

    March Wrap-Up 2024!

    Welcome back to my favorite post of the month! I ended up getting to seven books this month and it was a pretty mixed bag but there were a few standouts! My 18th birthday is fast approaching on the 18th of this month which I’m both excited and daunted by and in other news I…

    Best Anti-Racism Books for Elementary/Middle Schoolers!

    Growing up home-schooled, there weren’t many books that I was given as required reading, but for as long as I can remember I’ve sought out books that gave me better insight and perspective into the experience of people different than me.

    Mini Reviews: Relit & Poemhood!

    My Thoughts: Thanks to Harper360YA for providing me with an ARC! Fantasy short stories are some of the hardest out there to write.
