The Me & Music Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I am doing a tag, but not one that’s book-related. It’s all about music! I saw Abby @ Beyond the Read do this and it looked way too fun to pass up the chance of doing it as well. I’m including a link to the music video (or lyric video) for each song. Rules: “8 Letters” by Why Don’t We If all it is is eight lettersWhy is it so hard to say?If all it is is eight lettersWhy am I in my own way? I love the message in this song. I think it’s something so many people can relate…

Let’s Talk Bookish: Do Book Titles Matter?
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I am very, very excited about some bookish things, mainly the fact that Rick Riordan is releasing two books in 2023! He’s writing a novel for Nico di Angelo, The Sun and the Star, and a novel for the original PJO trio that takes place after The Heroes of Olympus, called The Chalice of the Gods. I need to reread the PJO series and The Trials of Apollo, so I can remember everything. Maybe I’ll do a binge read over winter break. Moving on to today’s post! I am pretty sure this is the latest I have ever posted an LTB discussion.…

Review: The Words in my Hands by Asphyxia
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I am actually getting a post out on my usual posting days, which I’m very happy about. I’m hoping I can keep that up and be semi-normal at posting for the rest of the month. Today I have a review of The Words in my Hands. It’s one I found at the library (I actually went to the physical library, it’s shocking!) and it looked interesting. I’m happy to say this didn’t disappoint!

Let’s Talk Bookish: Can Bloggers Write Whatever They Want?
I am late again. My posting has been a bit all over the place so far this month. I’m hoping I can be more regular in the near future, but I can’t guarantee anything. We’ve had some unusual school weeks which has thrown me off my mental schedule. Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits where we discuss various topics and share our opinions. Today’s topic is Can Bloggers Write Whatever They Want? (suggested by Anna). Prompts: Can bloggers just write whatever they want? Or are there boundaries they should respect even on their own platform? If a blogger is called…

16 Books for my 16th Birthday
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I have a very exciting post today! At some point this week (I’m not revealing my actual birthday), I turned 16! That’s scary, to be honest 😨 I thought it would be fun to talk about some books that got me into reading and ones that are important to me. I’m going in chronological order, as best I can, to see how I’ve grown as a reader. I’ll also be talking a bit about how my favorite genres came to be what they are. This list is starting when I was in elementary school. I didn’t add books I read when I…

September Wrap-Up | School Has Taken Over my Life
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I don’t normally publish posts in the afternoon, but I was planning to have this up on Friday and that clearly didn’t happen. So I finished it up and am publishing it now. I can’t believe school has already been in session for almost two months. Things have been moving a lot quicker this year. Many events and projects have happened or been started much earlier than last year. It seems like we’re getting used to being in person again. Today I have my wrap-up for September. It was a busy month with school and I’ll be busy next month too since…
