I decided to dedicate my last few months of 2025 to getting some more titles off my Netgalley backlog, but imagine my surprise when I got home for the holidays and found a physical copy of this book on my shelf while cleaning up! There was a note inside from the publisher so I'd like... Continue Reading →
Final Sprint Before 2026
I've been on the fence about posting again this year. I was SO sure I would get back to blogging, I've been doing great with my reading since around September or October (I've even posted updates on Bluesky!), but things just didn't look great on the blog front. Now, I'm out of my tiny apartment,... Continue Reading →
Duologies, Trilogies, or Series?
This is a topic from the LTB Meme that I've been wanting to talk about for a while now (but never got around to doing...for some reason). I did try to format it in the same way that I would a typical LTB Meme post, but the more I started to answer the individual questions,... Continue Reading →

WWW Wednesday (9.24.25/#4)
A part of me can't believe I've ONLY written four of these, while another part is like, well, at least you wrote this many, LOL. I was thinking of writing this on Wednesday, but every time I do that, I forget to do it so I'm sitting down with this a little early! Did you... Continue Reading →
challenge: #HauntedShelf (my TBR, book recs, and signup info)
It's been a while since I was last part of a bookish challenge, and (somehow), I managed to find this one before the closing deadline. Actually, I should check out my Litsy account more often. I know there are bookish events happening throughout the year (but i'm usually too busy doomscrolling #rip) +10pts: Share the... Continue Reading →
Apr – Aug 2025: Recap, Resuming Posting, and What to Expect
Can't believe it's been 6 months since I last made one of these! Our checklist: Updates, Posting Schedule, April to August Posts, and (Rest of) September Plans Updates My hair has gotten longer, so I've updated my picrew, lol! I've been coming back to the blog semi-regularly these last few weeks, but every time I... Continue Reading →
