My Favourite Fantasy Standalones

February 9, 2020February 8, 202015 Comments

Hi all! You all know I love fantasy books -- it's my favourite genre. But I do understand why not a lot of people enjoy fantasy books: most of these genre books are in a series; the worldbuilding can be confusing (especially when it develops over multiple books); and sometimes people just don't like following … Continue reading My Favourite Fantasy Standalones

Weirdly Specific Things I Don’t Like In Books

November 13, 2019January 6, 202030 Comments

Hi all! A few months ago, I wrote up a post about weirdly specific things I love in books. This isn't a list of my favourite tropes -- you can find that post here -- but rather a list of things that I keep coming across in books, no matter the genre, that I seem … Continue reading Weirdly Specific Things I Don’t Like In Books

Special Editions of Books That I Own (That I Won’t Let Anyone Read)

October 5, 2019January 6, 202019 Comments

Hi all! Last week, I rearranged my bookshelves for perhaps the 27th time this year, as all bookworms do, and came across some of beautiful special editions of books that I own. As these books are so pretty and I adore them so much, I thought I'd show you all them! Some of these books … Continue reading Special Editions of Books That I Own (That I Won’t Let Anyone Read)

Books I Want To Reread

August 22, 2019January 6, 202014 Comments

Hi all! So I've been in a very nostalgic mood the past few months and I've slowly started to reread a bunch of my favourite romance novels. Books I've reread include Wolfsong and Ravensong by TJ Klune, the Tales from Verania series by TJ Klune and Captive Prince trilogy by C.S. Pacat. I've recently gotten into audiobooks so its very easy for me to … Continue reading Books I Want To Reread

LGBTQ+ Books I’ve Recently Added To My TBR

August 18, 2019January 6, 202013 Comments

Hi all! If you've been following my blog for any amount of time, you'd know that I tend to read a lot of queer fiction, any genre. And I recently added a whole bunch of queer books to my Goodreads TBR -- some of these books just recently came out, some came out years ago, … Continue reading LGBTQ+ Books I’ve Recently Added To My TBR

Series I Need To Finish

August 14, 2019January 6, 202011 Comments

Hi all! If you've been following my blog for any amount of time, you know that I am definitely a series reader. I love following a certain character or a group of characters for a good couple of books, and falling even more in love with them. That being said, there are quite a few … Continue reading Series I Need To Finish

Weirdly Specific Things I Love in Books

June 5, 2019January 6, 202034 Comments

Hi all! I'm bringing you a very strange book post today: weirdly specific things I love in books! This is not a list of tropes that I love, but more like things I've come across in multiple books that I seem to adore, whether that be certain character traits or plot points. I won't be … Continue reading Weirdly Specific Things I Love in Books

Thank U, Next: Books I Hate That Everyone Else Seems To Love

February 7, 2019January 6, 202036 Comments

I don't usually like talking about books I don't like, unless the book made me angry due to offensive content, but I thought I'd try something a little different today. There's only so much I can gush about my favourite books before you all get sick of me. I usually have a "thank u, next" … Continue reading Thank U, Next: Books I Hate That Everyone Else Seems To Love

Books I Still Need To Read Before the End of the Year

December 11, 2018December 11, 201815 Comments

Hi all! Well, the end of the year is upon us! Who can believe? I certainly can't -- it's gone by so fast, but also the beginning of the year dragged on forever? What an oxymoron. Anyway, I've read a lot of books this year, and I'm really happy with the ones I've read. BUT ... there's … Continue reading Books I Still Need To Read Before the End of the Year

My Ultimate Best Bookshelf a.k.a My Favourite Books of All Time

December 5, 2018November 19, 201819 Comments

Hi all! Let me just get this out of the way: I'm that type of weirdo who loves going through their Goodreads shelves because it's a calming experience / it makes me feel really good looking at how neat and ordered my shelves are. Please tell me this is something you also do?? Please? Anyway, … Continue reading My Ultimate Best Bookshelf a.k.a My Favourite Books of All Time
