Top 5 Tuesday topics: August-September 2023
Hello friends!! Welcome to the Top 5 Tuesday topics post: August-September 2023!! August-September, you ask? Yes.

Top 5 Tuesday topics: Jan-Mar 2023
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the Top 5 Tuesday topics post: Jan-Mar 2023!! Annoyingly, I wrote this post in mid-December for 2022, but then just got completely distracted by life. So let’s pretend this was still two weeks ago: On one hand I cannot wait for 2022 to be over. On the other hand, HOW is it 2023 already? It still…

Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 anticipated reads for Oct-Dec 2022! Not sure about you all, but I am moderately terrified that we’re in the last quarter of 2022.

2022 mid year book tag
Hello friends!! Welcome to the 2022 edition of the mid year book tag. We sometimes call it the mid-year freak out… but that implies I only freak out at mid-year. Which is categorically untrue. So, I’m now calling it a book tag. The mid year book (freak out) tag was created by Ellie (EarlGreyBooks) and Chami (formerly at ReadLikeWildfire). The…

Top 5 Tuesday topics: Oct-Dec 2022
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the Top 5 Tuesday topics post: Oct-Dec 2022!! I know what you’re thinking… these are so VERY late. I really should have put them up a month ago. But life has been weird.

Top 5 magic systems
Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 magic systems!! Of course, if you don’t read fantasy books, then you are more than welcome to take a *freebie* this week.

Top 5 books set at school
Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 books set at school!! Hilariously, I don’t actually think anyone is at school at the moment.

Top 5 rainy day reads
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 rainy day reads. The summer sun was not meant for boys like me. Boys like me belonged to the rain.

Top 5 queer books I don’t scream about enough
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to this week’s Top 5 Tuesday!! My post for the freebie is top 5 queer books I don’t scream about enough. I haven’t put any ‘pride’ related topics on for June, because it’s my opinion that we should ALWAYS celebrate and promote LGBTQ+ (or queer) books. And as a bisexual person, I try and read queer books…

Top 5 books about a death
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 books about a death. Thankfully this topic is easier again than last week.
