Kpop in YA Fiction Book Reviews

Every time I get back into Kpop it's like an addiction where it feeds into everything I as a consumer get. My art was the first thing hit as a number of the portraits I've been doing were definitely Kpop idols I currently follow, but my reading this time also had some Kpop influencing it...

Anticipated Reads of 2022

One way I like to start my year, and also get myself out of reading slumps is by picking up new releases. Sometimes there is hype with these, but the amazing thing about getting new releases is that you get to be a part of the excitement and also form in an opinion before the...

Books that Made Me Reassess My Rating Setup

There are a lot of books that I read in a year, and for the most part they are relatively simple to figure out the rating for when I reach the ending. Most books tend to leave you with little doubt on your overall feelings at the end. Occasionally though I come across books that...

St. Patrick’s Day Book Tag

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! In terms of beginning of the year holidays, I love the green of St. Patrick's Day perhaps more than Valentine's Day with the red and pink. To celebrate this holiday I figured I would do another book tag, this one by Embuhleeliest. This one is a lot shorter than the...

January TBR

We are finally in a new year, and I’m excited to start new reading challenges and work on new goals! There are also a number of books that I am looking forward to reading, so this month is the beginning of the fun for sure. How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by...

The Goodreads Challenge Closeout 2020

2020 has been an incredibly crazy year, both in terms of what we have all had to adapt to, and how it has impacted every bit of our lives. Some readers saw an amazing increase in their reading stats, and others saw a decrease. In the beginning, I don't think I saw a big difference...

December Wrap-Up

So, December wasn't as reading heavy as I had wanted it to be. Between prepping for Christmas and helping out my family I read really well in the first two weeks, but hit a snag when I started Shiver. This might just be the moment I say Stiefvater and I just don't gel well. Maybe...

The Lowdown On… Consumerism in the Book Community

We all love books, and the joy they bring in their many formats. As book lovers we, or at least I, already struggle with book buying. There's nothing like getting a highly anticipated new release, or a new book in general. I've spoken about this in an earlier post, click here for that one. This...

The Lowdown On… Reading Slumps

I would love to say I've never had to deal with a reading slump, or an utter lack of reading, but that would be a huge lie. Whether it's been thanks to a busy schedule, binge watching on Netflix, or just an absence in motivation we all eventually fall prey to a slump. Oddly enough,...

July Read

When I set off for this month, it was with the goal of meeting a reading challenge, which didn't really go to plan. I still read a lot more than I have been each month this year, but not quite the goal I had set back in June. Over the two months I ended up...
