My Favorite Reads of 2022
With the start of a new year comes my favorite reads from the previous year. This has come to be one of my favorite annual post, where I get to gush about the books I loved. I read 57 books last year, which was so close to reaching my goal, but I didn’t quite make it. I’m listing my top 10 favorites, starting with ten and working my way to the book that gets the number one spot for the year. #10: The Ghosts We Keep by Mason Deaver “Grief is a complicated, ugly, messy thing. And it makes you do complicated, ugly, messy things.” I read this book as…

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.…

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…

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…

Review: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
I have found a favorite mystery book–series, to be exact. Thank you very much, Holly Jackson. Seriously though, this book was amazing. (I’m really running out of words to describe books I love.) The hype it has is truly deserved.

Five years ago, schoolgirl Andie Bell was murdered by Sal Singh. The police know he did it. Everyone in town knows he did it. But having grown up in the same small town that was consumed by the murder,…
