I’m moving halfway across the country, and although that means leaving behind my family and my bed, I don’tContinue reading “THE STRUGGLE: Deciding which books to take to Uni”
Top 5 Series I Need To Read In 2016
It’s only January, and I’ve already basically planned out my TBR shelf for the rest of the year. There are just so many good books out there that I’m desperate to read, and that’s excluding all the new releases that could potentially ruin what remains of my social life.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, where book bloggers can showcase their latest anticipated reads.

I once downloaded Miss Peregrine’s Home ForContinue reading “eBooks vs. Audio Books vs. Actual Books”

Is there anything better than a really well-written, thought-provoking, feels-generating sci-fi book? I think not. Of course, it’s pretty difficult to find a book that willContinue reading “Saturday Spotlight #6”
Saturday Spotlight #5
Saturday Spotlight is a weekly feature in which I honor a book, character, or author that has consumed my mind and may be the cause of future therapy sessions.

Why I’m not doing the 2016 Goodreads Reading Challenge
Yeah, you read that right. I know – it’s a total shocker. Some might call it a tragedy. I’ve been doing the Goodreads challenge since 2012, and every year I’ve somehow managed to achieve whatever goals I set. On top of that, 2015 was my best year for reading ever: I finished over 60 books,Continue reading “Why I’m not doing the 2016 Goodreads Reading Challenge”
