As those of you who have been following this blog for some time will know, I don’t read and review a lot of middle-grade titles. The At the Heels of History books sounded and looked so cute, though, that I couldn’t resist! Add in the fact that I’m a dog lover, and these just seemed… Read More At the Heels of History, Books 1-3 (Multi-Book Review)

I was hoping to make this post in late December, or earlier in January, but as tends to happen…life got in the way. I’m still happy to share my top reads of 2020 with you though (and some of you might have already seen these in my Instagram Stories earlier in January)! So, without further… Read More My Top Reads of 2020
Welcome to my monthly wrap-up post for September 2020! It’s very very late…but better late than never, right? Work has been crazy busy still and the only thing helping me kind of stay afloat with my reading is audiobooks. I will say that I’m suuuuuuper behind on writing reviews. You’ll see later in this post… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (September 2020)
I have tried one of Schmidt’s deodorants, one of the more natural ones, before and remember it being a little coarse due to the baking soda in the formula. I loved the smell of it though! Anyway, I was happy to find that this new formula goes on smooth. When smelling the deodorant initially, I could only smell the rose. When I applied it, however, it seems that the heat of my skin activated the black pepper smell (which I thought was very cool!), and that was a bit more dominant… Read More Schmidt’s: Rose + Black Pepper & Charcoal + Magnesium Deodorants (Product Review)
Welcome to my monthly wrap-up post for August 2020! I had this post ready to go beyond this intro section way before the end of the month. Who knew that it would take this long to write my intro?! Haha. I’m gonna blame work because I spend almost every waking moment thinking about this one… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (August 2020)
I’m a bit late with my July monthly wrap-up post, but a few days late is still better than 3 months late right? Haha. It also looks like I posted quite a few book reviews! I’ve been catching up on my reading and writing reviews it seems. Yay! How’s your reading going? Are you on track?… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (July 2020)
Some people ARE illegal. Lobizonas do NOT exist. Both of these statements are false. Manuela Azul has been crammed into an existence that feels too small for her. As an undocumented immigrant who’s on the run from her father’s Argentine crime-family, Manu is confined to a small apartment and a small life in Miami, Florida. Until Manu’s protective bubble is shattered. Her surrogate grandmother is attacked, lifelong lies are exposed, and her mother is arrested by ICE. Without a home, without answers, and finally without shackles, Manu investigates the only clue she has about her past–a mysterious “Z” emblem… Read More Lobizona by Romina Garber (Blog Tour: Review)
Ulla Tulin was left abandoned in an isolated Kanin city as a baby, taken in by strangers and raised hidden away like many of the trolls of mixed blood. Even knowing this truth, she’s never stopped wondering about her family. When Ulla is offered an internship working alongside the handsome Pan Soriano at the Mimirin, a prestigious institution, she jumps at the chance to use this opportunity to hopefully find her parents. All she wants is to focus on her job and the search for her parents, but all of her attempts to find them are blocked when she learns her mother may be connected to the Omte royal family… Read More The Lost City by Amanda Hocking (Blog Tour: Excerpt)
Well, it looks like a third of 2020 got away from me. We’ve all been dealing with COVID-19 one way or another, and I suppose that for me personally…the whole thing decided to target my mental health. I fell behind on reading and on my blogging. My apartment got messier and messier. Luckily, though, I… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (2020 Update: April, May, June)
