a deadly education | naomi novik

Hey everyone! Such a long time no see! I hope you all have been having a wonderful holiday season ❤ For my house, my husband has been sick since the end of November (went to an urgent care, but couldn't find the reason) and then we both got sick right over Christmas. Not fun, especially...

wishtress | nadine brandes

Nadine Brandes, also known as one of the sweetest and most relatable authors ever, has marked herself as one of my favorite authors. Specifically, her book Romanov, which I have read, like, a lot of times. 😛 (This may have something to do with next week's post... 👀) Wishtress is her newest book coming out...

Pros and Cons to Being a Fast Reader

Now when I say I'm a fast reader, it doesn't mean that I read all the time. But, when I do get in a reading mood I read a lot. Just to set the stage and brag on my highschool self, junior year I read one of the Game of Thrones books in a single...

these violent delights | chloe gong

I started this book sometime last summer, but as always it became overdue and I had to return it before I could finish it. Such is the way of a bookworm's life. It was definitely a book that I wanted to get back to -- I found myself thinking about it constantly lol. Then came...

4 Middle Grade series that even adults will enjoy

aka middle grade books, which, honestly, are sometimes just the best. Hope everyone is doing well! I've gotten back into writing recently, which is pretty cool. It's also given me some more inspo to read and thus to write on here (or maybe the whole thing is vice versa lol). Regardless, I'm here! I just...

Hello everyone! Long time no see. 🙂 Just a quick little update on my life before we get into the bookish content. 😛 First off, I have finished my junior year of undergrad! One year left, and then on to my PhD. Eek. In even more exciting news, I GOT MARRIED!! Just over a week...

The seven husbands of evelyn hugo

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, by Taylor Jenkins Reid, was a book that I remember hearing massive hype about. It came out quite a few years ago now, in the world of our fast moving culture, but I've always been curious about it. It was one of those books that I didn't quite know...

Thoughts on recent reading

Hi friends! It's really been awhile, hasn't it? An embarrassingly long time. But a lot of things have happened since then... Mainly, I've been in a reading slump. A two+ years reading slump. I know, the worst kind. Over the past 2-3 years I've read only a couple of dozen books. When compared to all...
