Summer is almost over! On one hand, it seems like this summer has gone on for a couple of hundred years and on the other hand, I’m not ready to go back to school just yet. But whatever the case, here we are! Currently, I have some time off from work, so I’ve been trying… Continue reading August Wrap-Up and September Plans

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted on The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is hidden gems, so I’ve opted to go with my favourite hidden gems when it comes to YA books. Perhaps this is less of a hidden gems list and more of a ‘Hilary grew up in a very different… Continue reading My Favourite Hidden Gems in Young Adult

Happy Saturday! As soon as I heard this song had been released, before I’d even listened to it myself, I knew that it was going to be this week’s Saturday Song.

Happy Saturday! Most of what I’ve been listened to lately has been playlists for the gym, which are great when you’re trying to run, but aren’t generally my taste when actually listening to the music.

The regression of knights from their historical roles as mounted heroes, nobles, and stewards of the king’s justice to common gutter trash riding in wrinkled, red uniforms is a symptom of a greater disease.
