One of my favorite times of summer is the Olympics. I love the summer Olympics. It’s the only time I ever watch sports, if I’m being honest. It’s the one time I want to get into fitness. Now we’re in the middle of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, in 2021 because of COVID. I’m obviously rooting…… Continue reading Books for the Olympics

I first found Legendborn by Tracy Deonn, published by Simon & Schuster, through Bookstagram and it looked brilliant. YA fantasy/king Arthur retelling? Sign me up.

5 Books that Should Become Classics
Books we consider classics today were once pop culture, books that the average person read.

Here is my prediction and opinion of what could become classics. Harry…… Continue reading 5 Books that Should Become Classics

Book Review: Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo (ORION Children’s Books)
I stayed up until two am last night to finish the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo, published by ORION Children’s Books. If you’ve read my Six of Crows review, you know I loved it.

I just finished the first book in the duology, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (published by ORION Children’s books), and let me…… Continue reading Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (ORION Children’s Books)
The Elements Book Cover Tag
I found this book tag on The Book Journal blog and decided I wanted to do it myself. The idea is you find books with covers that represent each of the elements. Typically, I would raid my bookshelves but as my books are somewhat limited while I’m in England (though, to be honest, I’ve bought…… Continue reading The Elements Book Cover Tag
