I think book tags are a great way to get book recommendations and also to get to know the person behind the blog a little better! I’ve done several different ones by now, so I hope you can find one that suits your interests :) I also include my yearly favorites and least favorites in this category – they’re a popular thing to talk about in the new year, so that’s kind of like a tag, right?
Happy Saturday, everyone! After a truly horrendous week of dizzy spells, coughing blood, and jabbing COVID tests up my already super sore nose because I felt sure my symptoms must mean I had to test positive eventually - SPOILER ALERT: I didn't - I've decided that I need a bit of a break from writing … Continue reading Reacting To Five-Star Reviews of Horrible Books I’ve Read These Past Few Years
Happy Saturday, everyone! We've looked at my favorite books, we've looked at my least favorite books, but what we haven't looked at yet is how much I read, what I read, and how well I did at achieving the bookish goals I set for myself in 2022! (Sure, technically you could figure out most of … Continue reading 2022 Wrap-Up || Bookish Stats, Goal Check-In, 2023 Goals
Happy Saturday, everyone! Yes, we're breaking from tradition in more ways than one with this post... First of all, you may have noticed my creative new intro. Instead of greeting you with "Happy Friday!", I've come up with a totally original "Happy Saturday!" to spice things up a bit! With me working insane hours during … Continue reading The End of the Year Book Tag 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! I'm here!! A few hours later than usual, sure, but better late than never, right? (Of course, I would love to tell you there was a grand reason for my tardiness, but what it really boils down to is that I was too freaking lazy to get started on this post and … Continue reading The Functions Book Tag || ORIGINAL
Happy Friday, everyone! After a thoroughly chaotic work week, I'm not really on top of anything right now, so randomness it is! Who doesn't love a bit of chaos every once in a while? (Let's just quietly ignore that I said I would give you my final Realm of the Elderlings review today 🙃 That … Continue reading The Randomness Tag
Happy Friday, everyone! After the absolutely horrendous week I've had, I have decided bicycles are by far the most superior mode of transportation. Why? Imagine the following scenario: Even though you hate driving, you are forced to get your own car because you've been sent to teach in a very mountainous area and couldn't find … Continue reading The Tour de France Book Tag
Happy Friday, everyone! It's summer solstice week, so obviously, I'm doing the Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag! Tradition is tradition, after all. And speaking of tradition - after two years of not being allowed to have them because of COVID, I was so excited because we were supposed to get summer solstice bonfires back! One of … Continue reading Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! As I already announced in my wrap-up, you're getting a second post today! Did I intend to do this? Not really 😂 I mean, I'm kind of busy enough as it is without double posting... But, due to bad planning on my part, I did announce that I would give you guys … Continue reading Could You Guess the Books from the Emojis? – Round III || The Answers!
Happy Friday, everyone! As you can probably tell from the title, I've decided to return to my roots with an old favorite today! The emoji quizzes are back! (In other words, I have run out of inspiration for non-elaborate creative posts, so I've decided to exploit my past self's ideas instead 🙃) In case you … Continue reading Can You Guess the Book from the Emojis? (Round III)
Happy Friday, everyone! After an eventful week filled with school, lesson preparation, insanely hot weather, and me narrowly avoiding a kitchen inferno because I decided cooking and simultaneously catching up on Eurovision content was the ultimate time management hack, I've decided I'm too tired to be trusted with any creative ideas of my own and … Continue reading The Trope Tag
Happy Friday, everyone! Today, I'm here with a tag I got so excited about that putting it off longer was simply impossible! If you know me at all, you'll know that about 80% of my free time is poured into anything book- or music-related. (The remaining 20% are reserved for family, friends, pets, food, and … Continue reading The Chapters & Melodies Tag
Happy Friday, everyone! Thanks to an insanely busy week and a Tawny Man trilogy review that is still nowhere near finished despite continuously getting longer and longer and longer, I‘ve decided I get to take a bit of a break from word-vomiting! Today, I'm here with something a bit shorter, and doing Laura @ Laura's … Continue reading The Book Blogger Memory Challenge
Happy Friday, everyone! And welcome to a post that is positively ginormous even by my standards! I'm really going to have to try to keep this intro brief because, well, the rest of this most certainly isn't going to be... Seriously, when I asked for Q&A questions in celebration of A Book Owl's Corner hitting … Continue reading You Asked, I’m Answering || Welcome to a Monstrous 500-Follower-Thank-You-Q&A!
“Long before we discovered that he had fathered two children by two different women, one in Drimoleague and one in Clonakilty, Father James Monroe stood on the altar of the Church of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, in the parish of Goleen, West Cork, and denounced my mother as a whore.” First line in The … Continue reading The Know Your Buddy Tag || featuring Line @ First Line Reader
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Yep, I'm really sticking to that Friday schedule, aren't I? Don't get used to it, though 😜 Next week, we're back to normal; it's just that I didn't want to go on and on about 2021 until it's almost time to wrap up 2022... Which is why, today, you're getting the very … Continue reading 2021 Wrap-Up || Bookish Stats and Goals for 2022
Happy Friday, everyone! As promised, I'm following up on my favorite books of 2021 by giving you my least favorites! Evil as I undoubtedly am, this post is always one of my favorite yearly wrap-up posts to write. Because who doesn't love a good old rant? This time, however, we're going to do things a … Continue reading My Least Favorite and Most Disappointing Books of 2021

Happy Fourth of Advent, everyone! Yes, I realize it's not Friday, but I'm posting anyway 😁 Thanks to evil COVID, which is still very successfully destroying all of my travel plans, I've had a bit of spare time on my hands, and I thought, Why not channel that into getting caught up on my tag … Continue reading The Read-Write Contest
Happy Friday, everyone! As has become tradition on this blog, I'm doing The End of the Year Book Tag way later than it's meant to be done 😁 It just doesn't feel like the end of the year until it's December and properly cold outside. There needs to be snow! And a Christmassy atmosphere! Anyway, … Continue reading The End of the Year Book Tag 2021
