Opening Chapter 11: November 2020 To Read, To Watch, & To Do

Hey there, bookworms and dragons! I (finally) closed up last month so let’s have a look at what the rest of November will (hopefully) hold.

To Read

I am actually going to give myself a bit of a break and not list what I’m hoping to read this month. Between school and everything else, I just don’t want to stress over it. I’ll read what I read and that will be included in my wrap up at…

Hello there, bookworms and dragons! I know. I know! It’s near half into November. I’ve been excessively busy because Reasons but I’m here now. Let’s wrap up last month, shall we? 😉

Books I Read

I honestly don’t remember all that much reading wise from October because my brain has far too much occupying it but here’s what Goodreads says I read. 🙂

Hey there, bookworms and dragons! Happy October!!!! This is my favorite month of the year!

Same as with the other months, I’m…

Closing Chapter 9: September 2020 Wrap Up

Hello there, bookworms and dragons! Here we are in the season of scarves and pumpkin spice and spookiness. October is one of my favorite months so let’s wrap up September so I can jump into October with both feet! 🙂

Books I Read

Between work and school, I did not do very much reading. What I did read, I managed to write a full review for so… There’s at least that, right?

ARC Review: The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi

ARC Review: The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi

Hey there, bookworms and dragons! I loved The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi SO MUCH that when I heard the sequel, The Silvered Serpents, was available on NetGalley I knew I had to request it. When I was approved, I involuntarily screamed and flailed a bit. It was great. It did take me a bit of time to read the book though, simply because I had already started my semester so I read as much as…

Opening Chapter 9: September 2020 To Read, To Watch, & To Do

Hey there, bookworms and dragons! Welcome to September. Let’s just jump in because I’m already a little bit late anyway.

To Read

I’m going to stick with my 2020 theme and make this one modest, especially since both of my professors seem super keen to make sure I read nothing but scholarly articles and textbooks from now until December. Anyway, here goes…

Closing Chapter 8: August 2020 Wrap Up

Hello there, bookworms and dragons! The end of August has come (and gone–I know I’m just a bit late). Let’s go ahead and wrap this baby up properly so I can kick off September right!

Books I Read

August was a very light book month because it was chaotic and hectic and I just couldn’t find all that much time to read. Honestly, the fact that I read these books is a miracle, though I also…

Hey there, bookworms and dragons! It’s August now and I have no idea how we got here. Like… what happened to April? I don’t know but let’s dive into this post so we can start this month off right!

To Read

As seems to be my theme this year, I’m going to keep my to read list modest. I seem to be in a bit of a reading slump so until I can drag myself from it kicking and screaming, I’m not…

Closing Chapter 7: July 2020 Wrap Up

Hello there, bookworms and dragons! How is it the end of July already? No clue. But let’s wrap this baby up anyway, shall we?

I Read

July has been a bit book light and movie heavy for me so this list is a bit of a short one. This is partially because I’ve started listening to language learning recordings on the way to and from work instead of audiobooks. I’ve mostly been reading…

Challenge: 2020 A to Z Book Challenge

I decided since it's been a while that 2020 I'll complete the A to Z Book Challenge... Check out my progress so far! 😁

Hey there, bookworms and dragons! I was working through editing some small aspects of my blog this week and noticed it’s been almost two whole years since I participated in any book challenges? I figure the A to Z Challenge is basic enough that I can use the books I’ve already completed this year in an attempt to both catch up and actually participate in a book-related challenge for the first…

Movies: Back to the Future

Movies: Back to the Future

Recently, I’ve been rewatching a few of my old favorite films with my wee monsters. This started because I was talking to them about one of the movies I watched a lot growing up and they… hadn’t even seen it once? It had never occurred to me to sit down with them and watch any of my old favorites but at the same time I was somehow surprised that they had never seen any of them.

Yeah, I don’t…

Hello there, bookworms and dragons! I realized that we’re half into July and I never wrapped June up so… better late than never, I guess. 😅 Let’s jump in!

Books I Read

Surprisingly, I did manage to get some reading in during the month of June. Mostly audiobooks, though I’ve also gotten into reading digital books on my breaks at work so that’s helped. Here’s what I read last month.

Blog Tour: The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth

Hi there, bookworms and dragons! It’s been quite a while since I was able to participate in a blog tour, but when this one was sent out as an option I knew I had to make the time for it. Keep on reading for my full review, a bookish soundtrack, information on where you can go to get your hands on a copy of The Falling in Love Montage, and a tour-wide giveaway! But first, let’s have a look at the…

Hey there, bookworms and dragons! There has been so much going on in my life and in the world. I completely forgot to write and post a “To Do” for this month. Let’s dive right in!

To Read

This month is going to be a rough one reading-wise for me because of how heavy school is so I’m only adding two books. The first is one I’m already currently listening to the audiobook version of. The…

ARC Review: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab

Hey there, bookworms and dragons! Check out my ARC review of one of my most anticipated 2020 releases--The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab #IRememberAddie

Hey there, bookworms and dragons! This one has taken some time for me to be able to write, both because I just haven’t had much time and because this book was an emotional roller coaster. I was extremely lucky to have been able to read an advance digital galley of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab from NetGalley. As always, this does not affect my review one way or another. I am…

Movies: MCU Movie Challenge

Hi there, bookworms and dragons! I’ve been talking about making some changes to my blog for a few months now. Adding movie related content is one of the changes I’m considering making. (Is this something you’re interested in seeing here? Let me know in the comments! 😊)

I realized recently that I haven’t watched most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies, so I’m challenging myself to…
