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…

March is Women’s History Month! And though my end-of-year data tells me I primarily read books by women anyway, I’m going to cut out all possibility of male authors for this month and just read a heck ton of ladies. Books by and about women. Margaret @ Weird Zeal is also hosting a readathon for…

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…

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…

Okay, I definitely have too many books scheduled to read this month, but when I saw Aurora post about this challenge, I knew I had to at least try to participate. Weird Zeal is hosting a reading challenge in honor of Women’s History Month, and the goal is to read lots of books written by…

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…
