December Wrap-Up | A Cold But Otherwise Okay End to the Year
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Happy New Year’s Eve! We are so close to 2022 and I can’t believe it. This is the last time I am going to say this: How did 2021 go by so fast? It’s like I blinked and the year was over. Are we ready for 2022? I don’t know. This is my last post of the year, which is kind of crazy, honestly. BOOKS READ I read 5 books which I’m happy about. I didn’t really stick to my TBR, but I read 2 out of 3 books that I planned to read this month, plus a couple others. The Nightingale…

My One Year Blogiversary! | Reflections and Gratitudes
Three hundred and sixty-nine days ago (yes, I know I’m late), I pressed ‘publish’ on my very first blog post. It wasn’t a lot–just an introduction to my blog and a little bit about myself. Hello everyone. Welcome to Pages of Starlight. I thought I’d take a quick opportunity to talk a little about myself and the blog. My name is Lotus and I love reading and the creative arts, specifically photography and writing. I’m a young teen with a love for fantasy, mystery, and historical fiction novels. I wanted a place to share my thoughts and adventures about them, so I created this blog. The name ‘Pages of Starlight’…

Bookish Pet Peeves
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well and that your holidays are being spent well. I had a different post planned for today, but I didn’t finish it in time so it will probably go up in the next few days. Instead, we have a post where I’m basically just ranting about things that annoy me about books. More specifically: bookish pet peeves. I’m sure there are more bookish things that annoy me that aren’t on this list, but these are what I came up with. Let’s get started! In no particular order Movie/TV Show Book Covers – I’m all for movie/TV show adaptations, but I really don’t like…

Review + Moodboard: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah | A Powerful Story of Two Sisters During WW2
Well, that was an emotional roller coaster. When I was finishing this, I was up until 11:00 pm, reading the last eighty pages of this, and when I was done, I just sat there, trying to comprehend what I had read. It was a lot to take in. I received this as a birthday present from my older sibling (thank you to him!) and was instantly intrigued when I read the synopsis for it. A historical fiction novel about WW2, told from the perspective of the women? Count me in. Title: The Nightingale Author: Kristin Hannah Genre: Historical Fiction, Adult Series: None Page Count: 564 “In love we find out…

Christmas Songs Book Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I apologize for disappearing for two weeks. Final exams were last week and they definitely took their toll this year. Luckily, my last day was Thursday and I’m on winter break now, so I’ll have more time for blogging! I know Monday isn’t normally a day I post, but I’ve been gone, so I figured that I would go ahead and post this. I’m not doing Blogmas this year, but I still wanted to do a seasonal post for the holidays. So today I am doing the Christmas Songs Book Tag! And also ignoring all the other tags I have to do.…

Get to Know Me From A to Z | 100 Followers Special!
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I have my 100 followers special post, an A to Z of me. I know I’ve already said this, but thank you so much for 100 followers! I truly appreciate each and every one of you. This idea is not original; I’ve seen this on various blogs, the first one being Asic’s, as well as Rachel’s blog and Riddhi’s blog. It looked like a lot of fun, so I added it in as a possible post idea and here it is now. A – Ambivert – I’m definitely more on the introverted side but I’m not completely an introvert. I’m shy…

Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I have one more week of school until finals, which is really surprising, since we only just got back from Thanksgiving break this week.
