February Reads

March 26, 2018March 25, 2018 / abbaxjane / Leave a comment

I managed to keep up an impressive clip in my reading challenge in February, reading seven books. That puts us at a healthy 15 books read towards 52, in only 9 weeks. I tried to keep up the diversity in my reading, but I unconsciously shifted back into Young Adult fiction this month, and part … Continue reading February Reads

January Reads

March 25, 2018March 29, 2018 / abbaxjane / 2 Comments

At risk of beating a dead horse here, I am so sorry for being so ridiculously irresponsible with this blog! We were doing so well and then I fell off the map and well, long story short, I'm back and I'm ready to talk books. Let's pick up where we left off shall we? In … Continue reading January Reads

There’s Someone Inside Your House

January 17, 2018 / abbaxjane / 2 Comments

I love true crime tv. When I'm in a funk, you can catch me on the couch watching Dateline reruns like my life depends on it. Certainly, it doesn't make much sense to spend days when I feel down watching super depressing and often disturbing shows about people killing each other, but it's just a … Continue reading There’s Someone Inside Your House

The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency: The Case of the Missing Moonstone

January 17, 2018 / abbaxjane / 2 Comments

I find all sorts of interesting things when I'm checking in books returned to the library. More than once, I've left my desk to hunt down the first book in a series when a book catches my eye, or check one in and then check it out to myself right away. Working at the library … Continue reading The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency: The Case of the Missing Moonstone

Annihilation

January 17, 2018 / abbaxjane / 1 Comment

Days before I instated my book buying ban, I went to see the new Star Wars film for the second time, and they played a preview for a movie that I did not know about at all. I was hooked when Natalie Portman appeared on screen, because I absolutely worship her and her work, and … Continue reading Annihilation

December Owl Crate

December 23, 2017January 9, 2018 / abbaxjane / Leave a comment

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! Today, I'm bringing you an OwlCrate unboxing, a safe week from the delivery date. This month's theme was SEIZE THE DAY and it was colorful and merry and a perfect pre-holiday gift. Let's check it out! SEIZE THE DAY was jam packed with brightness and optimism. I'm not usually so into … Continue reading December Owl Crate

A Monster Calls

December 20, 2017January 9, 2018 / abbaxjane / Leave a comment

This book has been on my must-read list for quite some time, but every time I went into the bookstore, I would end up finding another book that I wanted instead, so I never got around to reading it. Recently, I checked it out of the library, read over a couple of breaks, and promptly … Continue reading A Monster Calls

The Sleeper and the Spindle

December 18, 2017January 9, 2018 / abbaxjane / Leave a comment

I remember seeing this book when it was released at my favorite bookshop in my college town and my best friend bought it but I totally forgot about it until this weekend as I was checking in books at the library. I immediately grabbed the hardcopy off the shelf and took it home to read. … Continue reading The Sleeper and the Spindle

Phasma

December 15, 2017January 9, 2018 / abbaxjane / 2 Comments

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY! Today, the long awaited Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released! I haven't been in to see it yet, but I hope to go this weekend. In the build up to release, I have been collecting Phasma items like a mad woman, asking for them for Christmas, and watching Gwendoline Christie's social … Continue reading Phasma

Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares

December 11, 2017January 9, 2018 / abbaxjane / Leave a comment

This year, I wanted to read some Christmas inspired books. I picked up The Christmas Carol, a Jane Austen inspired Christmas novel, and Dash and Lily's Book of Dares. Part of it was an effort to get into the Christmas spirit, and part of it was a desire to finish up my reading challenge with … Continue reading Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares
