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
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
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
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
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

A Monster Calls
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
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
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
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
