Bookish Playlist: This Poison Heart

This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron was my first five star read of 2023, so I thought I’d give it its dues and create a playlist for it. I haven’t read the sequel so all the songs are purely inspired by the first book. Willow by Taylor Swift Once Upon a Dream by Emile Pandolfi…… Continue reading Bookish Playlist: This Poison Heart

Reading Habits Book Tag

Since I started a new job, I haven’t had much time to read–I’ll have to scale back my expectations for myself. So instead of a review, here’s a fun tag. I found this one on Nily Me, who found it on The Wordy Habitat. Bookmarks or a random piece of paper? I usually do bookmars.…… Continue reading Reading Habits Book Tag

Book Review: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Del Ray)

After saying for months I was going to read it, I finally read Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno Garcia, published by Del Ray books. This was a book of the month choice for me last year–so long ago I couldn’t even tell you which month! But I finally read it and I’m mad at myself…… Continue reading Book Review: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Del Ray)

Bookish Playlist: People We Meet on Vacation

Coffee Book Tag

Have I mentioned before how much I love book tags? Well, I love coffee more. In fact, I can’t survive without it. I found this tag on This Splendid Shambles, and it was created by BangadyBangz on YouTube. 1. Black: Name a series that’s tough to get into but has hardcore fans Lord of the…… Continue reading Coffee Book Tag

ACOTAR Dream Cast

I don’t think the casting has yet been announced for the A Court of Thorns and Roses tv show. I also know my choices are going to be unrealistic, but why not have a bit of fun? I’m also mostly going off of physical descriptions and not acting abilities here. Feyre: Teagen Croft. She’s 19,…… Continue reading ACOTAR Dream Cast

May TBR

Happy May! I’m starting a new full-time job which is super exciting but I may not be able to read as much. Still, that didn’t stop from creating an ambitious list of books to get through this month. I tried to line them up with challenges I’m working on. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia I…… Continue reading May TBR

April Wrap-Up

I know it’s still a few days before the end of the month, but I wanted to get ahead in the blog and talk about the books I have read this month! I started off the month with an ARC, Opprobrium by Wade Lewellyn Huges. This was a four star read, an excellent high fantasy…… Continue reading April Wrap-Up

Trope Battle: Forbidden Love vs Secret Identity

Welcome to the next installment of my series where I pit tropes against each other and try to decide which is better. Last time, I did enemies to lovers vs friends to lovers. That was an obvious choice of which to battle against each other. The rest of the tropes, not so obvious, so I…… Continue reading Trope Battle: Forbidden Love vs Secret Identity
