Blood Like Magic // ARC Review

Fun fact: guzzling coffee at 10pm might result in one's brain going on hamster wheel of death mode. I can't tell if all my thoughts are now lightning speed, or if I'm wading though murky mind waters at -300 mph. But the coffee is most certainly buzzing. Like a gaggle of bees. Is it gaggle?…

How Likely Characters From My Recent Reads Are to Be Eaten by Lions

I've adopted a cat. Well. Actually. It's a lion. More like a picture of a lion?? On the internet. But still, I have adopted a cat. To some extent at least. His name is Sparky and he likes eating plums and main characters for breakfast. I was planning on posting an arc review today, but…

New Project in the Works // *drumroll please*

Oy! How are we feeling on this charmed Thursday?? Soo very exciting business in the works! Rachel @ A Bookworm's Paradise had this spark of brilliance to do a short series where we read popular books and determine whether or not they are worth the hype! We have already chosen four lovely (at least I…

Mid Year Freakout Tag!! // eh time

I know I'm a bit late to the whole mid-year thing (seeing how the actual midpoint of the year passed like a week and a half ago) but I wanted to do this tag, so here we are. We are just going to ignore the existence of time and say I was busy with summer…

Dear Rookie Bookstagrammer April // 9 things I Wish I Could Have Told Myself When I First Started Out

Oy! How are we feeling today?? Honestly not my best. I am so tired in every way possible and kind of feel like crying over the slightest of inconveniences. Even emotional support breakfast foods or wearing my cow print bucket hat all day hasn't lifted my spirits. But it's fine. Fingers crossed that I won't…

Dear Blogging, thank you // happy one year blog-o-versery to me!!

What do you think, would you classify pancakes as a sort of cake?? I don't know, I kind of see pancakes as cake adjacent. I mean, sure, pancake does have the word "cake" in it, but does that truly classify it as a cake?? If not, then what does classify something as a cake?? The…

July TBR

It has been about a month since thy glorious computer of mine has entered my world, but I am happy to announce that I have officially named them.  Thank you to all the lovely people who suggested names. Some of my favorites included Milo (we stan Milo in this house) and Kaz BrekkAIR (because it’s…

June Wrap Up // basking in five star glory

Fun fact: June does not in fact have 31 days. And apparently the 31st day didn't just disappear... it never existed!! Who woulda thunk *shrug.* I don't know how I made it this far in life without knowing that, but I'm blaming this mix up on my fuzzy summer brain. Soo reading! June was a…

Books as Weird Things I’ve Been Told in the Drive Thru

I am convinced that I do my best thinking at the drive thru. As you lovely folk may or may not know, I work at an ice cream shop during ice cream season. Primarily I work at the drive thru register, taking orders, serving ice cream, and enduring far to many crabby people. Of all…

Queer Coming-of-Age Stories // Recommendations

I love my local library. For one, books. But also the fact that I live so near to the library has helped my love of reading fester. During past summers especially, I would spent the whole day there. Smelling books, reading them, and finding new (and admittedly strange) positions to sit in those really big…
