If you noticed me changing the fonts of this blog a few dozen times, no you didn't. Turns out I found fiddling with my blog's design was more preferable to actually writing any post. Until I noticed that I've watched an unhealthy amount of movies and shows last month (I desperately needed escapism, because regular… Continue reading What I’ve been watching, April to May
The last ten books tag
Hello friends! I've got around 5 posts in my drafts and I can't bring myself to finish any of them, so I decided to do a tag and defeat this fiendish blogging slump I've fallen into. Mostly because it seemed too weird to have two monthly wrap ups next to each other with no posts… Continue reading The last ten books tag
March wrap up | the month I binged movies

June 2021 wrap up & hiatus announcement
June was...an okay month? A meh month? It was certainly very unproductive. On the upside, I read some great books I all rated four stars or higher (right now, that doesn't count as productivity). Anyways, on with the wrap up! Books read ★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar | young adult,… Continue reading June 2021 wrap up & hiatus announcement
