Hai Beautiful! It's that time of year again! Starting off the year with a new Goodreads goal and a half-finished book from the year before is starting to become the norm for me now. But alas, I have anticipated this! But once again I have sabotaged my own well-thought-out plan, and have landed…

Memento by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman | Novella Spoiler Chat

Hai Beautiful! I think we hyped it up too much... If you have read the Illuminae Files series (Illuminae, Gemina and Obsidio) in the past two or so years; a.k.a. since the release of Obsidio, you'd know about Memento, the companion novella that only a few readers were able to get their hands on.…

BWC Readathon Wrap-Up: Reading Progress + Creative Challenges!

Hai Beautiful! Success is a lie! Okay, so that intro line may be a little harsh. I consistently set super high standards for myself without learning each and every time and consistently failing, it's hard to believe in success. Let me backtrack...

It Sounded Better In My Head by Nina Kenwood | Spoiler Free Book Review

Hai Beautiful! I love a good coming-of-age novel! This was the most fun I've had reading a young adult contemporary in a long time. It was raw with feeling, emotion and youthful ignorance. Every young woman can learn from this novel and everyone who's lived this can laugh and enjoy the experience. Goodreads…
