AVENGERS! ASSEMBLE! – The Marvel Avengers Book Tag

Posted May 22, 2020 in Bookish Things, Tags // 0 Comments

For the longest time, it felt like there were SO MANY Avengers movies coming out. One every few months. I like the various avenger films, some more than others, but even I was starting to burn out. I think we’ve had about six months between the last Avengers film and Black Widow, and honestly… thank you, I needed that breather. I stole this tag from Hammock of Books, who posted it last fall. Thanks for sharing, Kay, this one looked super fun and I couldn’t resist! I believe the original was Super Space Chick on BookTube, but this one got tricky to […]

House-Hunting, ARC Reviews, & a SMALL HAUL WHO AM I EVEN? – The September Wrap Up

Posted September 30, 2019 in Checking In // 4 Comments

Good morning everyone! September is swinging to a close and here in Massachusetts… we are fully immersed in autumn. The leaves are beginning to go a little red-orange around the edges and the mornings have been crisp and cool. When I leave for work in the mornings, I can smell woodsmoke and for me? That’s the truest sign that fall have arrived. This is my favorite season – I thrive in fall. I feel more alive September – November than I do the rest of the year and I try to live these months to my fullest… which means getting out […]

A Match Made in Mehendi by Nandini Bajpai

Posted August 28, 2019 in Reviews // 0 Comments

A Match Made in Mehendi is such a delightful little contemporary romance, and I am here to SHOUT about it. First of all, as this is an #OwnVoices book, it’s important to mention that the cultural experiences Nandini Bajpai relays in this novel may not necessarily mirror the experience of an #OwnVoices reader. As I am a white girl, I’m really not equipped to talk about the rep with any real authority, but for myself I was so excited to see terms like “Desi” and “auntie” used regularly. Honestly? We need to normalize the inclusion of other cultures and books like A […]

The June Wrap Up: With Movies, MasterClass, & SO MANY BOOKS

Posted July 1, 2019 in Checking In // 5 Comments

Happy July everyone! This month reminds me of picnics and spending summers at the lake by my family. We didn’t have a lake house or anything, but there was a really nice beach in bicycling distance and there were some summers when we were there every day. Ah, life was so much simpler when I was twelve. Intense haul this month, mostly due to BookCon on June 1st, and a whole lot of ARCs? Seriously, y’all are going to be drowning in book reviews in September because most of these books are published in September/October. I’m both sorry for the […]

Books On My Summer 2019 TBR – #TopTenTuesday

Posted June 25, 2019 in Memes // 28 Comments

At the beginning of the year, I was really good about TBRs. I was using my Novel Companion and filling out the TBR page every month and coloring it in and everything. Then I began packing and I moved and now I don’t even know where the Novel Companion is and TBRs stopped happening and everything is fine, I swear. I generally do okay without a TBR because I have a TBR Jar and I have ARCs and everything, but it is sorta nice to have it all laid out? So while I don’t usually participate in the TBR posts… […]
