25 Bookish Facts About Me
Hey, bookworms! It feels like forever ago since I last talked to you. (I’ve been saying that a lot lately, haven’t I?) Of course, there was my workshop recap just a few days ago, but I haven’t been very active in the comment section. Since I’ve been seeing this list floating around both on the book blog community and booktube, …
The Dream Factory Workshop: My Recap
“Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world.

Stacking The Shelves #37
So, this whole “reading” thing isn’t going well for me. I read two books in June. Both re-reads. *shields eyes in shame* For the past month, everything has just looked so unappealing. But!

Review: The Winner’s Kiss by Marie Rutkoski
(Quick shout-out to the best friend ever Brooke who, upon my realization on FaceTime that I had yet to get a post up due to lack of bookish photography, stepped outside onto her little Japanese plot of land and took a photo of her copy of The Winner’s Kiss. *collective deep breath because that was a run-0n sentence* And isn’t …
Currently…
Well hello there bookworms! It’s been a while. I know. I’m sorry. Life has been crazy. We’re talking supreme cheese pizza with olives and pineapple and bacon and sausage and the whole nine yards crazy. Since my summer isn’t going to settle down anytime soon, I’ve decided to switch up my blogging schedule. Instead of three times a week, I will be …
