The end of the month is upon us, which means that it is time for my August Wrap Up! I always find it harder to read and get things done in the summer. My schedule gets all thrown off, I’m busy with summertime adventures, and I don’t read nearly as much as I would want… Continue reading August Wrap Up
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over on The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is a back to school freebee, so I opted to keep it simple and just make a list of the best books I read while in school and in university. For some reason, my schools tended to choose… Continue reading Best Books I Read in School
Happy Saturday! How have we gotten this close to the end of August already? My work schedule revolves a bit around the school year schedule, so the end of August means that I’m a couple weeks away from going back to full time work. Which will be nice, after a relatively easy summer. Closer by… Continue reading Saturday Song: Closer by The Chainsmokers

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Today’s theme is books that have been on your shelf/TBR since before you started blogging.

And as I was slowly dying while hiking up a mountain and… Continue reading Saturday Song… On Sunday: Fake It by Bastille
I finally finished this book! I know, I know, I was supposed to wait and read the end of it this coming week, but there were only 30ish pages and a few chapters, and I couldn’t just leave it. We’d basically figured out what was going to happen, and I didn’t see the point of… Continue reading The Light Between Oceans Read-Along: Ch. 31 to End
Don’t call them heroes. But these six Californian teens have powers that set them apart. They can do stuff ordinary people can’t. Take Ethan, a.k.a. Scam. He’s got a voice inside him that’ll say whatever you want to hear, whether it’s true or not. Which is handy, except when it isn’t—like when the voice starts… Continue reading Zeroes by Westerfield, Lanagan, & Biancotti
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted over on The Broke and the Bookish. Today’s theme is: Books with X Setting. I have decided to go with books that are set in an original universe or world.

When it comes to most books, I am content just writing my review and being done with it. But when it comes to Harry Potter, and a book I never expected, I felt the need to look a little deeper into it and talk more about what actually happened and what I thought, and then… Continue reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Discussion (Spoilers)
