XO, Kitty: I actually liked this show a lot??

Love triangles (or squares) that aren't annoying but very funny and entertaining? Teenage behavior that doesn't make me feel like throwing something at my screen? I didn't have a lot of expectations for this as the only Jenny Han media I've consumed before is The Summer I Turned Pretty and we all know how I…

Monthly wrap up | April 2023

Time isn't real because how is it May already? April is supposed to be the month of lightning strikes and thunderstorms. Half of the month was unbearably humid, sweltering heat and the rains only began as the month was ending. Nothing beats that cool feeling when you're indoors next to a window and it's raining…

March 2023 wrap up

Monthly wrap up | February 2023

Hello, friends! February started and went by in a flash. Time moves so quickly when you don't want it to. It was a languid, sweaty month where nothing interesting happened in my life. I did read a lot of books, though. You know that incredible satisfaction you get when every single one of the books…

The Tawny Man trilogy by Robin Hobb review // I am just rambling a lot

After finishing Liveship Traders, I almost immediately jumped on to reading the Tawny Man trilogy. I was missing Fitz and Buckkeep and I was so curious about what happens next in his life. I finished the books ridiculously fast (in probably 4 days), and then I went back and reread all three slowly, taking in…

Monthly wrap up // January 2023

The first month of 2023 is already over. I had a good January. Nothing much happened and I had a lot of free time on my hands, which meant that I had plenty of time to read books. I read 14 books this month, and most of them were big ones. What I read Lightlark…

Worst books of 2022

Hello there, friends! We are nearly two weeks away from the end of the year and I have decided that it is time for some negativity! I'm one book away from conquering my Goodreads challenge for 2022 and as luck would have it, I seem unable to finish any book that I start. I usually…

Hello there, friends! This tag was created by Becky in her book blog, and I knew I just had to do it when I saw it on Jordyn's blog. So here we go! bookish tropes SMASH - if, and only if, they are written well, and if they are tropes that I like. There are…
