Books & Mental Wellness
October has always been a comforting month for me. I've always been happiest in Autumn, although it's also the month when I feel the most homesick for the North Carolina mountains. This month, I wanted to choose books for my TBR that have a cozy autumnal theme to them or that remind me of home.… Continue reading October 2021 TBR
Books I'm currently reading, just finished, and am about to start.
Since it's been a long time since I've actually stuck to a TBR, I'm just going to share the books that I know I'll be getting to. I'm currently re-reading Cora Carmack's Roar so that I can read the sequel, Rage.While there are a lot of common YA tropes in Roar, I still really enjoy the storm magic… Continue reading My May 2020 TBR
It's finally March (my birthday month!!), and to celebrate I've put together an extra-long TBR! I tend to set very, very unrealistic goals for myself, as you can see with this TBR. Will I be able to finish 31 books in 31 days? Probably not, but it's a goal for me to strive towards! One of the… Continue reading My March 2020 TBR
I recently accepted that there's no way in hell that I'm getting to my Goodreads Reading Challenge goal this year (I'm at 149 of 225 currently), and as a result, I'm feeling a little more relaxed about my reading goals this last month of the year. There are three books that I'm currently in the… Continue reading December 2019 TBR
Contemporary fiction is a genre that I don't pick up often because I tend to choose a lot of science fiction, fantasy, or historical fiction when I'm looking for my next read. I found out this morning that today is the start of Round 5 of the Contemporary-a-Thon, so I figured it would be a… Continue reading Contemporary-a-thon TBR, Round 5
When I did the first iteration of this challenge I got rid of 2 out of ten books on my TBR. Currently, my TBR on Goodreads has 3,851 books on it. Which, distressingly, is even more than I had on my TBR at the end of part one of this challenge. In case you didn't… Continue reading Down the TBR Hole – #2
More than likely, June is going to be a very busy month for me. There's a chance I'm moving at the end of the month (we are possibly extending our lease, but we haven't decided yet). If we do end up moving, I'm fairly certain that I won't be getting much reading done. However, if… Continue reading June Plans & TBR
This challenge is something that I did a couple of times when I first started this blog. The idea behind it is to reduce the number of books on your TBR list. As far as I can tell, this challenge was created by the writer at the literary blog, Lost in a Story, but it… Continue reading Down the TBR Hole (Again) – #1
Book of the Month is one of my favorite book subscription boxes. Every month, they offer five new releases that you can pick from for just $14.99. If you want to add more than one book, you can add an additional two books per month for just $9.99 each. If you want to read budget new… Continue reading May Book of the Month Selections
I can't believe it's May already. 2019 is moving by at an extraordinary pace. This month, I want to focus on reading books I already own. I have a tendency to max out my library card constantly, which means I'm practically always reading a borrowed book while I have hundreds of books that sat unread… Continue reading May 2019 Plans & TBR
I have big reading plans for April. I want to finish thirty books this month, several of which are graphic novels or poetry collections that I want to get to. For funsies, I set myself a ridiculously high Goodreads yearly goal of 225 books, and I fully intend to reach it. I got a bit… Continue reading April TBR & Plans
I first heard about this readathon through Elliot Brooks' Youtube channel, and since I've been wanting to reread some old favorites, decided I am going to participate. (As a side note, if you aren't already subscribed to Elliot Brooks' youtube channel, I recommend you check it out. She's one of the best booktubers, in my opinion,… Continue reading Re-Read-A-Thon 2019
It's finally October! I love this month so much. Pumpkin everything, the leaves changing color, spooky stuff everywhere, cooler weather... there's just so much to love. The fall is a time when I always feel rejuvenated and at my happiest. Since it's the first day of the month, that means it's time to put together… Continue reading October TBR
