The “How Well Do I Know my Books?” Tag
Yes, this is another tag that I was not tagged for. I’m known to do that. A lot. But this one looked like way too much fun for me to not do it. This tag took me a long time to do, which is why I didn’t get a post out on Friday. But I was able to finish it yesterday. I found out about this from Amber @ The Literary Phoenix, who did it recently. It was originally created by Jesse the Reader. This tag is a bit complicated to explain, but I’ll try my best. There are 28 questions and each one has to be answered with a…

Review: Forging Silver into Stars by Brigid Kemmerer
Another review within a few weeks! Shocking, I tell you, shocking. I myself am quite surprised. Today I am reviewing Forging Silver into Stars, Brigid Kemmerer’s most recently published book.

2022 Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag
It is that time of the year again! How? I do not know. Can someone please explain to me how the passage of time is so weird? I am back with a book blogging community staple: the Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag. I did this last year and had a lot of fun with it. There’s a few variations of this tag out there, with a bunch of prompts, so I normally go with the ones that I have answers to. General Books read: 32Reading goal: 32/60Average rating: 4.2Most-read genre: Fantasy I am ahead on my reading goal! Just barely. Last year, I was severely behind, but I’m doing pretty…

The Marvel Avengers Book Tag
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I am a huge Marvel fan. I watched all the movies during quarantine (minus two of them which I still need to see and one that I didn’t watch because people say it’s bad) and have since become obsessed with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. So, when I found this tag, of course I wanted to do it! I don’t remember who I found it from and I haven’t been able to find the creator, but credit to whomever it is. Let’s get into it! *All GIFs link back to their sources. Iron Man: a book that made you laugh out loud All’s…

My Favorite Opening Lines in Books
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I am sharing some of my favorite opening lines from books I’ve read. Well, more like opening paragraphs. Most of the books I’m listing have the first two or so paragraphs. Still, they have the same role. First lines (and paragraphs) are one of the most important parts of writing a book. They’re the first things readers see and can influence a person’s interest. There are a lot of first lines that I’ve read but these stick out more than the rest. They’re very memorable. The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan Look, I didn’t want…

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.…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. This post is later than usual, I’ve been kind of swamped with schoolwork, and haven’t had a lot of time. It’s been a while since I’ve done a Top Ten Tuesday but I thought today’s topic looked fun.

Today’s topic is Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time. Percy Jackson by Rick RiordanThere’s nothing like reading Percy Jackson for the first time.

Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Can you believe it’s already mid-2021?! Cause I can’t. I swear 2021 only started a little while ago. I’ve seen a few variations of this tag and I couldn’t possibly answer all the prompts, so I did the ones that I wanted to talk about. General Books read: 28Reading goal: 28/75Average rating: 4.2Most read genre: Contemporary I am pretty behind on my reading goal, as you can see. I’ve never tracked my reading before, but now that I am, it’s actually a lot of fun. Making spreadsheets is very satisfying and it suits my liking of perfection. I’m kind of surprised that…

The 3 Bookish Things Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I haven’t posted in a few days because I’ve been pretty busy with this geometry class I’m taking. I’ve learned that geometry is a lot of memorization. There’s so much stuff you have to remember. But enough talk about math. As you can see from the title of this post, today I have another tag. Thank you to Riddhi @ Whispering Stories for tagging me! 3 Read Once and Loved Authors Brigid Kemmerer – A Curse So Dark and Lonely was an amazing retelling of Beauty and the Beast and her writing is so good. Laini Taylor – I recently finished Strange…
