Read Around the World Challenge: The "A" Countries
I heard about the “Read Around the World” challenge a while ago, but I forgot it until it popped up on TikTok. The challenge is to read a book from every country, and the story should be set in that country, as well as the author being born there. It’s not easy to find both pieces of criteria, so a few don’t really fit, but it’s the best I could find. Here is a link to the Read Around the World…

After a Two-Year Hiatus, Here's My 2024 Reading Plans
Well, well, well, this is a bit awkward. It’s been a few years since I’ve written anything on here. It’s been a social media roller coaster for me. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to have an online presence or not. I actually deleted my Bookstagram, personal Instagram, and my personal Facebook. However, here I am, resurrecting my Bookstagram. A fresh start from square one, perhaps a necessary…

Goodreads Choice Awards Predictions
Goodreads Choice Awards Predictions
I personally don’t vote in the GR Choice Awards because it’s typically the popular books that end up winning. I don’t really talk about it much, but I think it would be a fun blog post if I predicted which book I thought would win and which one I would choose. I think I saw a blogger post something like this recently…I’m sure many have. You can tag them below if you know other people who have.…

Guess Who's Back?
Guess Who’s Back?
Hello, friends! I know it’s been a while, but I finally feel up to the task of writing a blog post. Since I’ve left I haven’t read many books. To let you really know how it’s been going this year, I’ve only read 29 books. Unfortunately, at the end of April / beginning of May, I went through a pretty tough breakup just a week shy of our 5-year anniversary. I don’t want to go into much detail since…
