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?…

A Vow So Bold and Deadly // a chaotic review

Do you ever start writing a review and then it sits in your draft folder for months and months and months like a forgotten sock under your bed?? Until one day, you are doing an electronic spring cleaning of sorts (but in summer) and you find the sock once again. Only now it is moldy,…

Solitaire // Review

Oy! Happy Tuesday! The National Speech tournament has officially started! In a typical year, we'd be traveling to compete in the tournament live, but this year it will be on Zoom. My first round was earlier today and watching all of the humorous duets made me laugh so hard I was quite literally snorting. After…

10 Second Book Reviews // featuring geese

Oy! Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a charmed weekend! My weekend has been pretty uneventful to be honest. I read some books. I went to work. I sat outside and basked in the sun and then complained about it being too hot. You know, same old same old. I don't know about you,…

Chronicles of a Bookworm // reading vlog May 22-28

Oy! Happy summer ☀️ I know, I know, it's not technically summer yet. At least not in correspondence with the almighty force that is whoever decides the first day of summer is June 20. But for me, school is out and I'm ready to embrace summer in a big ole bear hug. Ice cream, kayaks,…

33 Thoughts I Had While Reading King of Scars // Review

Hello world! It's me, April. It's been a hot second since I've posted, or interacted with the blogosphere for that matter. The end of the school year is coming to a close (one. more. week) and you know, life stuff happened. Tests, projects, nationals for speech, the musical, the whole shebang. I've been reading up…

Pride and Premeditation // Jane Austen, but make it murder-y

This just in: April was finally able to highlight quotes she wanted to save because she was reading on her Kindle. *gasp* I know, I know this is totally crazy. Normally when I find quotes I have to type them out in my notes so I don't end up with that many, because ugh, effort…

Eclipsed! // Mini Reviews of Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo, The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth, and I Love You So Mochi by Sarah Kuhn

Do y’all ever have a quote or line form a book that just kind of floats around in your mind? Kind of like getting a song stuck in your head… but with words. Everytime it happens the quote isn’t just floating there calmly relaxing, taking a vacation or anything. No, it reeks of attention seeking…

April Wrap Up // Time? What’s that? who’s she?

Oy! You know what time it is! April makes sassy remarks on the books she’s read and pretends it’s peak humor. I actually thought April had 31 days in it (it does not), which is why I'm sitting in the hallway at school between performances typing out this post on my phone. Luckily I had…

She Drives Me Crazy // *mind blown*

Oy! Happy Sunday! How has everyone's weeked been? This weekend was STACKED entertainment wise. The big one being the Shadow and Bone show release on Friday. I'm currently on episode 7, but hopefully I can watch the last two before the day is over. I just know I'm going to feel so much pain by…
