Here is my January Wrap Up: Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan This was our December book for the book club, but I actually only started reading it in January because we usually do our book discussion at the beginning of the next month.

Manic Music Mondays: 31 January 2022

Manic Music Mondays: 31 January 2022

This week for Manic Music Monday, I chose a song that is probably not that well known or released recently. The Joke by Brandi Carlile was released in 2018 on the album By the Way, I Forgive You. I specifically chose this song because I have been listening to it a lot this past week which probably says a lot more about my state of mind that I’m willing to reveal. My goal for Manic Music Monday…

Manic Music Mondays: 24 January 2022

Check out this Manic Music Monday post from last week

This week for Manic Music Monday, I chose a song that was recently released: Jigsaw by Conan Gray. This song, music-wise, really brought out a different kind of sound than what we’re used to from Conan. The song starts on an eerily tone and then it gets a rock-sound. The lyrics however tells the story of a friendship where the narrator was used by the other person in this relationship. It really…

I just felt that even though my blog (and other social media platforms are focused on books…

Book Review: The Lords of The Wind - C.J. Adrien

Book Review: The Lords of The Wind – C.J. Adrien

Review: I recently received a copy of this book, The Lords of The Wind by C.J. Adrien, from Mary Anne Yarde at The Coffee Pot Book Club. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank her for sending me this book so that I could review it. This book really grabbed my attention from the start. It was really different from the books I usually read. I don’t usually read books about Vikings or…

I don't understand the hype

I don’t understand the hype

Dear bookish friends, I don’t understand the hype. So what do I mean by that? I’m not talking about the hype of a specific book. Just the hype in general. I don’t understand it. I haven’t read a lot of hyped up books, but I have read some and the experience for each of them wasn’t so good. So my question is: why do people make such a huge deal of books that are according to me just…

Book Review: Shadow and Bone - Leigh Bardugo

Book Review: Shadow and Bone – Leigh Bardugo

Hey beautiful people! So I finally started reading the Shadow and Bone series. Mostly because I’ve never read anything by Leigh Bardugo and her work has been hyped up so much and everyone raves about it so I had to check it out and see if it lives up to the hype. But I also decided to read it, because the adaptation is coming to Netflix in April and I can’t wait for it especially after I’ve read…

2020's last thoughts

2020’s last thoughts

2021 is already here for a while now, but I still have some thoughts on 2020 that I wanted to share with you. A few days ago I saw someone post about how 2020 was the worst year ever, but I refuse to call 2020 the worst year ever. Because it wasn’t. Yes, I know. There was a pandemic, the economy took a knock, people lost their jobs and probably several other horrible things happened that I…

evermore - taylor swift

evermore – taylor swift

Taylor Swift decided to bless us once again with an album (a sister-album to be exact). Yay! folklore saved the first wave of the pandemic and now evermore is going to save the second wave. It’s a great ending to a bad year. There are lots of people who lost friends and family this year and Christmas is only going to make this difficult because this is the time you would usually spend with those…

Book Review: 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson

Book Review: 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson

Hey beautiful people, This was the November book for my book club. We voted on the genre of Contemporary Fiction and then this book was chosen. I was actually one of the people who voted for the book and I think it’s fair to say that I was disappointed. Don’t get me wrong this book wasn’t bad, but I just expected something better. Summary: After the death of her aunt, 17 year old Ginny receives…
