As you can tell from this post’s title, I come to you with some bad news!

Thank you so much to Katie @ Never Not Reading for tagging me to complete this tag! I’ve been using the library ever since my dad took me there for the first time when I was like 11 or 12! I used his library card to check out books and movies and CDs until I… Read More The Library Lover’s Book Tag
I absolutely loved Roshani Chokshi’s full novels The Star-Touched Queen (my review) and A Crown of Wishes (my review), so when the first short story in this collection, “Death and Night” came out as a novella last May, I was all over it.

It’s time for our third (and last book) discussion already! Where did the time go? I won’t lie, I finished this book one or two days after posting the second discussion post last week! I just had to find out how it ends. And now I’m even more excited to see the movie, and I hope… Read More To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Readalong (Discussion 3: Chapters 50-72)
For anyone who’d rather be reading than doing just about anything else, this book is the ultimate must-have. In this visual ode to all things bookish, readers will get lost in page after page of beautiful contemporary art, photography, and illustrations depicting the pleasures of books… Read More I’d Rather Be Reading: A Library of Art for Book Lovers by Guinevere de la Mare (Review)
Happy Monday everyone! And also happy #ARCstravaganza day! Today might be coming with some bad news, though. I’ve been thinking about this for some months now, and while I have a lot of fun making these posts, it’s not as much fun as it could be if more of you joined in as well! So,… Read More #ARCstravaganza #52: Shimmy Bang Sparkle by Nicola Rendell
