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.

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...

4 Feels That All Bookworms Feel

There are some feelings that everyone can relate to. There just is. But there are also some feels that only bookworms can go: wow, you know me so completely ... are you trying to take over my identity? You know. The usual. (my apologies ... I am tired and it's only 5pm 😂) On a...
