we're all mad here
Yes, there are only nine books on this list, it is what it is. There were a ton of series that I finished up this year, but not all of them stood out to me in a way that was WOW BEST SEQUEL material, so I didn’t want to stick a tenth one in there…

I can’t believe it’s already that time of the year! I was about to say that I read a lot less contemporary books this year than I normally do, but I think I read a normal amount, I just didn’t like a lot of them. In total, I read 26 contemporary books, and very few…

This was originally supposed to be my top five middle grades reads of the year, but I ended up reading mostly YA fantasy because I was feeling all sorts of feelings about books this year, and that was where I felt like I could safely linger without being angry at everything I was reading. Thus,…

Since we’re somehow about to embark on four weeks of top ten reads, this week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic feels really appropriate. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting this year, and while that hasn’t really shown up the actual books I’m reading, it’s definitely steered what I’ve been drawn to. These aren’t in…

Somehow, for this week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic, there ended up being four different Sam’s and two Nathaniel’s, which just seems strange, but they’re also great names, and I’m not at all surprised that each of the Sam’s made it on here. I also managed to solely pick couples, which makes sense given how…

Gonna be real with you, some of these tropes are definitely not bad, they’re just overused, and they’ve gotten a kind of oh here we go again connotation in my head, so that’s why I’m attributing bad to it. I also love this week’s topic on Meeghan Reads for the month of tropes, too, because…

Welcome back for another week of tropes! Meeghan Reads is hosting this week’s top ten topic, and it’s all about tropes this month, though this week is specifically ones that I don’t like, and I feel like these are all going to be expected? I’m pretty loud about what I don’t like in books, and…

This month, over at Meeghan Reads, the weekly top ten topic is all about tropes, and I’m so excited to dig into them! We’re kicking things off with tropes that I love, and because I did do favorite romance tropes earlier this year, I’m going to try not to just repeat that entire list, though…

This may shock you, but Halloween is not actually my favorite holiday. I am a huge fan of Christmas, but not because of the presents. I like how quiet the world gets around Christmas, how everything slows down until it’s just my family sprawled across the couch, not doing anything, not even really talking all…

I 100% thought that every book on this list was going to be a contemporary, but then my third one was a fantasy, and my fourth one was a horror, so this turned into a strange list. I wasn’t in a slump recently because I was consistently reading, but I’ve been pretty unhappy with the…
