Top 5 series I will finish* in 2023
Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 series I will finish* in 2023!! * And by “finish”, I mean “at least get caught up on”. You get a pass if the author releases more books. Because last week we did books series we are going to START. And if you want to start new…

December 2022 TBR
Hello friends!! Well, it’s finally happened. For the first time since I joined Goodreads (in 2013), it’s looking like I won’t hit my Goodreads goal. So, I’m making a December 2022 TBR (or really end of year as I do still have 4 days of November). I need to get my game face on. And that’s not even thinking about…

Top 5 books with a holiday
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 books with a holiday. Huh… I feel like maybe the June topics are really starting to line up. Because I really want a holiday and this is a welcome distraction!! It’s proper winter here now, and it is COLD. And I know I technically went on a…

January 2022 book haul
Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the January 2022 book haul!! A monthly post where I talk about all the books that I hauled in the previous month. This year, we’re doing things slightly differently. The post itself won’t change a great deal (at this point in time) — but, by ‘differently’ I mean there won’t be any shaming for buying excess…

Top 5 books with disability
Hello bookworms!! Happy Tuesday!! This coming Thursday is International Day of People with Disability (aka IDPwD). And to celebrate, today’s Top 5 Tuesday is top 5 books with disability.

Top 5… m/m relationship books
Good morning bookworms! Top 5 Tuesday is on hiatus this month, but I wanted to do something special for Pride month. So, today’s list (of slightly more than 5 books) is my fave m/m relationship books. This list may include bisexual and pansexual characters, but will focus if they are in a m/m relationship. Warning now: the last two are…

Top 5… Authors: K-O
Good evening bookworms! Late again, but this week it’s my fault… Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is authors from K-O, which is a continuation from last week’s topic! As I mentioned before, I’m also going to try and not do the obvious choices for letters (there won’t be any Jay Kristoff’s or Holly Black’s on my list) so long as I…

Top 5… books that weren’t what I expected (+ bonus top 5)
Good morning bookworms! Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is top 5 books that weren’t what I expected (in a good way).

Top 5 Tuesday is hosted by the super lovely Shanah over…

January ’20 wrap up and February TBR
Good morning bookworms! It’s time for the monthly wrap-up for January! During January I read 9 books. Which was totally fine, unless you look at my reading pattern, which was kind of a joke!! (Week 1: nothing, week 2: 7 ebooks, week 3: 1 audiobook, week 4: nothing, last 4 days of month: 1 physical book.) I was kind of…

January ’20 book haul
Good morning bookworms, and thanks for still being here!! I am back from hiatus and have decided that I might just ease up on myself this year and post a couple of times per week instead of every day. That will likely make some of my goals from last month unachievable, but it’s about putting me first rather than my…

December ’19 wrap up and January TBR
Good morning bookworms! It’s time for the final monthly wrap-up for 2019, the December wrap-up! During December I read an excessive amount of books. For me. A grand total of 18 books, which is definitely my highest monthly total for the year!! This mostly had to do with Sam @ Fictionally Sam’s Mrs Claus’ Readathon, but also probably to do…

December ’19 book haul
Good morning bookworms, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I’m gonna be honest, it feels kind of weird being New Years at the moment. Our fireworks got canceled a week ago because of the total fire ban in place with all of our bushfires.* We’ve had friends be evacuated from their homes yesterday and a lot of people spent the night at…

Top 5 Tuesday 2019 wrap-up
Good morning bookworms! I know, I know… this isn’t actually a Tuesday. But it’s also not really a Top 5 Tuesday topic, so WE ARE FINE. So… what are we doing, you ask? Well, during 2019 Shanah asked us a lot of questions. Approximately 45. And some of them required us to predict things that would happen in the future.…

NCIS LA book tag
Good morning bookworms! Well, we’re less than a week from Christmas and this year has just FLOWN by.

However, today’s tag is brought to us by the amazing Clo @…

Book recommendations: Overwatch edition #3
Good morning bookworms! Welcome back to another edition of… books I would recommend to Overwatch characters! (Click here for edition 1, and edition 2!)

It’s still in development, but I’m looking forward to finding…

September '19 wrap up, Bookending Autumn, and finally doing my NEWTs!
Good morning bookworms! It’s time for the September wrap-up! During September I read 8 books, and finished some series, which, is basically unfathomable. I think I’m still in shock that the Nevernight Chronicle is truly over. However, they were all really great books!! Book Author Series Format Rating (/5) Cover Godsgrave Jay Kristoff The Nevernight Chronicle #2 Paperback 5 Darkdawn…

N.E.W.T.s read-a-thon TBR 2019
Good morning book wizards and witches! Today I am announcing my NEWTs read-a-thon TBR! (Which is actually mildly hilarious/ironic if you read my Off Tangent Thoughts post on me doing read-a-thons…) So, if you don’t know about O.W.L.s and/or N.E.W.T.s you can click on my post from last year HERE, or you can go watch G @ Book Roast’s videos (2019 OWLs and…
