January Wrap Up

2018 is off to a roaring start, n’est pas, mes chers? I’ve not been subtle about how much 2017 stunk for me, so I’m absolutely thrilled with the way January has unwound so far. I hope everyone else has had a good start, too! I ended up with quite a good haul this month – after a slow December on NetGalley, I ended up being granted 5 books. I timed my requests so that there’s nothing immediate, so reading them shouldn’t be a challenge (The Phantom Tree releases in August!). I believe there’s a lot of little ones in this set… Blood Will […]

September Wrap-Up

Well that month went by fast. Hi everyone, and welcome to my September Wrap Up… conveniently located in October! As I was trying to schedule out my month, I realized a bit too late that September was filled… oops! I ended up rearranging a lot of my scheduling but good news? I have a calendar for the rest of the year now! And that’s super important, because I’ve got reviews scheduled all the way out into November… oops? Warning: This post features NO GIFs. My computer is being super laggy and dumb and it kept crashing while I was trying […]

August Wrap Up! // Featuring: Lakes, Cakes, AND DOC BROWN!

Welcome Ladies & Gents, to the August Wrap Up! August has been a busy month! For me, there’s been vacations and birthdays and a trip to the dentist (BLECH), and a solar eclipse! I am so so proud of myself because I have posted every day this month! I know a lot of people are heading back to school within a week, if they haven’t already. Can you believe summer’s almost over? SHEESH. I think that we all have had a crazy month, so let’s get down to it! EXCITING THINGS ARE AFOOT, MY PHOENIX FRIENDS. No, not that kind […]

July Wrap Up

July is gone, and I’m posting this today so I can focus on Harry Potter’s birthday tomorrow. I swear, I’m not a Harry Potter nerd. LIES! #Ravenclaw4Life I’ve had mixed feelings about this month’s books. There’ve been a couple of DNFs, but on the other hand there were books that I really loved! It was a high/low month and nothing inbetween. THE JULY HAUL I had a good run at Barnes & Noble earlier in the month, and I’m beginning to clear out my audible credits as well. JULY READS WRITING LIFE In a touch of insanity, I decided to […]

So Many Classics! #MailboxMonday

Mailbox Mondays are hosted by the ladies over on the Mailbox Monday blog. What finds have you added to your collection this week? GUYS GUYS GUYS. I am so excited because it’s been an ETERNITY since I bought books for myself. Like, real books. Audible gives me two audiobooks a month, but those cannot grace my glorious bookshelves! AH SO EXCITED. But seriously, the reason I never buy books anymore is, frankly, I AM OUT OF ROOM. It’s tragic. I have 2.5 bookcases now in our small apartment, and the third is empty in the office that was supposed to be a […]

Mailbox Monday – 2/6/17

Mailbox Mondays are hosted by the ladies over on the Mailbox Monday blog. Hop on over to see the rest of today’s linkups and show them some love! Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had deliciously lovely weekends. Just one book in the mailbox this week – another one of the dystopias I felt the compelling need to add to my collection, but never did. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley was required reading my freshman year of high school (alongside 1984… it was a good year for dystopias). I remember very little of it, save the fact that genetic engineering was involved. I […]
