Top 5 books with shields
Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 books with shields!! Yes, we’re back on scavenger hunts ― and I’m happy to say these are the last lot until next year.

Top 5 illustrated books
Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 illustrated books!! The proviso being that ‘illustrations’ can include fancy chapter dividers, beautiful drop caps, multimedia written books, or pretty end pages.

November 2021 wrap up
Hello bookworms!! It’s time for the November 2021 wrap up. I don’t know about you, but when I started writing this back in early December, I felt stuck in this weird “How the hell is it almost 2022? I’m still writing 2020 on things”, but also being “Geez, can we just skip to 2022 already because I am so done…

November 2021 book haul
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the November 2021 book haul!! A monthly post where I usually shame myself for never achieving my goal of buying less than I read, or sticking to my buying goal. November is definitely the worth month on record for 2021. I *may* have gone slightly overboard with black Friday sales. But honestly, I don’t regret it.…

WWW Wednesday – 1 December 2021
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to this week’s WWW Wednesday — 1 December 2021!! Which, according to yesterday’s Top 5 Tuesday post… is about 9 months after my last one.

Top 5 books I haven’t read yet in 2021
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 books I haven’t read yet in 2021. I don’t know how I feel about the whole “end of 2021” fast approaching thing. Because, to me, 2021 has felt like it’s taken 16 years, but simultaneously 31 seconds. I’m still writing “2020” as the year on forms, and…

October 2021 book haul

November 2021 TBR
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the November 2021 TBR post. Now, I know that it’s unusual for me to write a TBR. You know, especially because I never stick to them… (Remember in March when I wrote a TBR for Middle Grade March and then only read smutty romance on Kindle Unlimited? No? Oh… me neither… 😳👀) Well, Gintare, who used…

September 2021 book haul
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the September 2021 book haul!! A monthly post where I usually shame myself for never achieving my goal of buying less than I read, or sticking to my buying goal.

August 2021 TBR and the MS Readathon
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the August 2021 TBR post, where I will also be talking about the MS Readathon. So… I admit that I get pretty shady when it comes to TBRs.

Top 5 books I would re-rate
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s Top 5 Tuesday is top 5 books I would re-rate. So, I used to be one of those people who would finish a book, and depending on how happy the ending of a book was, it would essentially determine my rating.

I’m also expecting this…
