The End of Year Book Tag 🥳 📖 2021

January 3, 2022January 7, 2022

🦕 Hai Beautiful 🌼 It’s not my last post of 2021, but the intention is there. I haven’t been very active on here at all this year, choosing mostly to focus on my BookTube channel and healing myself mentally. Throughout the year, my mental health was a huge focus for me and my creative hobbies were set on the back-burner – which in hindsight was not the best idea as their existence is vital for a healthy mind. This post […]

Hai Beautiful! Eh, I don’t know how I feel about this one… They Both Die At The End was the unanimously voted Book of the Month for @TheBookishTravellers book club for April.

Goodreads Summary On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and […]

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo | Spoiler(ish) Book Review

March 31, 2021March 31, 2021

Hai Beautiful! It’s about dang time I read this! What an amazing novel! I went into this novel with only the word of those who have raved about this book/ series/ universe on the internet since its release and subsequent conclusion. I’ve seen the special edition in my book store for months now, but with no real reason to purchase it, I always left the store with longing in my heart. Until… Eventually! There was a reason to buy it. […]

February 14, 2021

Hai Beautiful! Let’s Plan! I’ve made it no secret on here that I absolutely love to plan! I will plan anything out, from physically listing out my daily tasks down to the half-hour or even making sure I at least know a rough sequence of events for a holiday, I find comfort in having a plan. So when it comes to making goals, why do I always struggle? It truly took me so long to make this post (as you […]

TBR

The First TBR of 2021 aka A Hopefully Better Year Than 2020 (in every way)!

January 7, 2021

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 myself in another sticky situation. So you see… *cue flashback* I wanted to set a one-book TBR that would allow for any unpredictability in my schedule over […]
