Happy Friday, everyone - and welcome back to A Book Owl's Corner! Honestly, guys, you have no idea how relieved I am to be able to say this, because in case you didn't notice, I spent the past week with a ludicrous blog name I couldn't wait to get rid of 🙈 But what can … Continue reading Discussion: Books That Have Made Me Cry and Why I Love Them

Anyway, now that 2021 is here, it's time for my obligatory "Favorite Books of the Year" post! I'm actually quite proud of myself for posting this on time for once - last year, it was … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2020
Hi everyone! I am slowly but surely chipping away at all the things I've been tagged at - there is still an enormous backlog, but I am getting there! I might actually write a couple of extra posts in the next few weeks to get caught up, but I'm not making any promises... After all, … Continue reading The Medieval Queens Book Tag

Hi everyone! I'm actually a bit shocked how quickly June went by - it seems like the month just started, and then it was already over. Maybe my dread of upcoming exams is accelerating time 😁 However, June actually turned out to be the best reading month I've had in a while. I read so … Continue reading What I Read in June 2020
Since the summer solstice was only a few days ago, I think that I can safely say that we're pretty much exactly at the mid-year mark. Which makes it the prefect time for the Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag! I feel like this is such a fun way to reflect on the books I read … Continue reading Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2020
Hi everybody! This week's post is coming to you from a severely sleep-deprived me, but that's because I just had a reading week so awesome that I feel like this week alone will be responsible for about half of my favorite books of the year. I'm not kidding! Among others, I read one four-star and … Continue reading Mini-Reviews: The Interestings, Allegedly, The Anti-Virginity Pact
With everything that's going on right now, what I read last month really pales in comparison. So I just wanted to start this post by saying: To all my Black readers - I'm with you and support you 100%. What is going on in the US right now, and has been going on there (and … Continue reading What I Read in May 2020
Hi guys! I hope you've had a good week! I actually started mine having to pay 7€ in library fees - something that came as a bit of a shock since I've never returned anything late in my life before now... But, in my defense, the university library originally said that it would let us … Continue reading If You Liked This Book, You Might Also Like…
Hi everyone - I hope quarantining is still going well! Personally, while I liked all the extra free time at first, I can't wait for things to return to normal now that the new semester has started. Online university just isn't my cup of tea... Still, I really like getting to spend more time with … Continue reading Stay At Home Book Tag
It's been ages since I did a tag, so this post is long overdue! And this tag, created by Jaded Reader, is actually quite fitting - with the quarantine going on, my family and I have been doing a lot of yard work, and we've been making bonfires in the evenings to burn all of … Continue reading The Campfire Book Tag
Better late than never, I guess 😉 In a way, you have the coronavirus to thank for finally getting this post, since I now have plenty of introvert time to dedicate to this blog. I hope you and your families are also healthy, safe, and not too bored! It took me forever to narrow this … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2019
I know, I know – I’m a bit late posting this, since it’s already the middle of February…. I’ve been so busy studying for psychology lately that I didn’t get around to writing anything, but better late than never, right? I read a lot of books I really liked in 2018, so narrowing this down … Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2018
We might be a little past the mid-year mark already, but we're still close enough to the middle of the year that I don't feel bad at all about posting this now 😉 The Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag was created by Chami at IsThatChami (original video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03gz6k0IB-Y) and Ely at Earl Grey Books … Continue reading Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2018
Ah, the good old school days... I guess there's nothing like university to make you nostalgic for when you were a kid and had tons of free time, even though you didn't realize it back then. And of course, part of those childhood memories have to do with reading. When I was in elementary school, … Continue reading Underrated Middle-Grade Books that I Loved in Elementary and Middle School
Although I haven't mentioned classics that often here yet, I do love reading them every once in a while, and I thought this tag was the perfect way to pay tribute to some of my favorites (or least favorites). This tag was originally created by It's a Books World, so here's a link to their … Continue reading The Classics Book Tag
