we're all mad here
On Thursday, I was hit by a sudden blast from the past and had a desire to do a weekend readathon. I talked about what books and why here, and it’s been a really long time since I last did one of these! It would probably have made more sense to do this next weekend […]

Wow, I truly cannot remember the last time that I did one of these posts. Like, at minimum, 2019. I used to do weekend readathons all the damn time. They were a lot of fun, and while last year should have been a good time for it, I worked from home a lot, so I […]

Today is my favorite day of the entire year. I don’t know what it is, but the day after Christmas is just the absolute best to me. I always take it off, my family always has it off, and we always just lounge and do absolutely nothing. No shopping, no leaving the house, nothing. We […]

I am going to try my very damndest not to let this be as long and as rambling as my O.W.L.s wrap-up, which you can find here. As for my N.E.W.T.s TBR, that can be found here, and it’s quite a motley crew. These are quite a few long books, and altogether, it’s about 2500 […]

Firstly, here is the TBR. My intention was to rush to complete the O.W.L.s that everyone else smartly completed in April so that I could participate in the N.E.W.T.s next month. Both exams are hosted by Book Roast on Youtube, and I am super excited to be trying for wandmaker! I could have gone with […]

Wow, I am still coming down off of my high of barely scraping through my O.W.L.s, but I only have one book left and three days to read it, so I’m officially embarking on my journey to become a wandmaker! In order to pass my N.E.W.T.s, I need an O in Herbology, an E in […]

I know what you’re thinking–um, weren’t the O.W.L.s three months ago in April? YES. But I missed sitting for them for whatever reason (I honestly can’t remember if I even had a good reason because I was so interested in everyone’s TBRs), and so I’ve decided to sit them in the last two weeks of […]

The last time I did a readathon was in November, so hey, back at it again! I truly do enjoy readathons, especially during spaces of time when I’m not stressing out about other things, and they’re a fun little way to make reading competitive? With myself? I don’t know. But I’m seriously falling behind on […]

A few weeks ago, Penguin Teen announced their readathon for the Thanksgiving break: 4 books in 8 days, and all of them high fantasy. All of those things are up my alley, so I’m definitely participating. Like my last readathon, I will be live-blogging while I read. And this is my TBR for this week: […]

Alright, it’s Wednesday. Yesterday, I kicked off my reading challenge (5 books in 7 days) with The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner, and for the last 200 pages, I’ve basically just been going UGH EUGENIDES. My friend, Alex, was the one to turn me onto these books after I kept picking up The Thief over and […]
