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

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?

The Functions Book Tag || ORIGINAL
Happy Friday, everyone! I'm here!! A few hours later than usual, sure, but better late than never, right?

The Tour de France Book 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?

The Trope Tag
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
