Everything I Read in 2021

Everything I Read in 2021

It's been an entire year. I hope everyone had a good year. I thought I would wrap up the year by looking back at every single book I read in 2021. Honestly, I'm surprised by how many books I read. Not only that but I started reading new genres during the course of this year, though it still is related to fantasy/sci-fi (for the most part). We'll see if 2022 is similar in terms of how many books I read. I have a lot on my reading list still.…

Reflecting on November and Goals for December 2021

Reflecting on November and Goals for December 2021

How is there only one month left in 2021? This year both crawled and flew by at the same time. It was a stressful year for sure. I don't know if I would consider 2021 better or worse than 2020. But it was definitely something. From almost losing my job to frantically working on getting things transferred to a new company to prevent lights out... it's been a bit much the last two months. Not to mention there's been a lot of health issues going on in my family. I'm looking forward to putting this year behind me. Still got one more month to go, but I'm hoping the holidays help lift things up a little.…

My Thoughts on the Glass Sword (Red Queen, Book 2) by Victoria Aveyard

My Thoughts on the Glass Sword (Red Queen, Book 2) by Victoria Aveyard

The next book in the Red Queen series is Glass Sword, and this one kind of killed my groove when it came to reading. So, I don't know if I'm immediately going to jump into the third book after this. I might read a few other first then return to the Red Queen series. I do plan on finishing it, but it's not going to be any time soon. Maybe the series will get better now that the main things I was spoiled to are over, but as I go into in the review Mare's POV really made the book drag. She needs to have some serious character development in order for my opinion on the rest of the series to get better and right now I'm not in the mood to deal with it.…

My Thoughts on the Red Queen (Red Queen, Book 1) by Victoria Aveyard

My Thoughts on the Red Queen (Red Queen, Book 1) by Victoria Aveyard

While I'm not writing book reviews for the most part at the moment, as I just want to enjoy the books without worrying about how they will come across in a blog post. Or what things I'm going to talk about in them. If something calls out to me enough I will write about it. The Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard fits into that. This series has been sitting on my shelf for ages. I originally tried to avoid all spoilers, then months past and that went to the wayside. So, I thought I would share it on the blog. I was also going to write about the whole series in one post, but I'm going to separate it into each book instead.…

Books I’ve Purchased Recently that I Seriously Need to Read (aka Book Haul)

Books I’ve Purchased Recently that I Seriously Need to Read (aka Book Haul)

So, I got seriously into reading than after binging a lot of good series, I fell not really into a reading slump as I haven't stopped reading but I haven't really touched new books. I've just been re-reading all of my favorite series. And have way, way, way too many that I purchased but haven't read. Nor can get myself to read as I'm too nervous to reach for them for fear they won't live up to expectations. As a lot of these I learned through BookTok (TikTok) as being great books.…
