Before I get into the post, a (quick) announcement: I'm leaving this blog! But don't worry, I'll still be blogging over at Daydreaming Ink, my new blog. Basically, I just wanted a fresh start, and I'll go into it in more detail on my first post there, on January 1. Hope to see you there!  EDIT EDIT EDIT I FINISHED THE A-Z CHALLENGE!!!!!!! It seems only fair that this would be the last post here. After all, I have to include any last minute reads I squeeze in to make myself feel better about the reading slump this year was (I feel so old, not reading heaps of books as I used to ..read more

Looking Back // 2018 goals, highlights, and what's to come...

Okay well this year has FLOWN by?! I can't believe we're already at the end of 2018. I have barely any school left (a few years but still in the long scheme of things),... Having 'proper' exams has certainly kept me busier than I would've liked but this is also partly my own fault due to my (now cured) binge watching obsession and desire to procrastination (because it's cool but my bad, I no longer believe this).  This is one of a series of 2018 wind down posts; you can view reasons why I am grateful for this blog here. The other posts, Looking Ahead and December Wrap-up aren't live ..read more

Looking Ahead // My most anticipated 2019 releases
Lovely Paranormal Books
by Cas @ daydreamingink
3y ago
I won't be here much longer but why would I miss out on an opportunity to be excited about 2019 releases? I'm thinking of doing the monthly "books I'm excited for" again, so let me know what you think because I'm a bit on the fence. My top picks of 2019How can I decide? There are so many books out there, but for this section I just picked books (mostly from series) I'd heard of prior to researching for this post that I'm super hyped for. So I kinda doubt there will be any debuts here, but more on that below! Quick note: different editions may have different release dates. Defy Me (Shatter Me ..read more

Well, it was thanksgiving *fairly* recently, and although I don’t celebrate, I’ve felt a need to be grateful so here, have this post! I’ve been thinking a lot about this recently especially as I prepare to reboot this blog and move to Wordpress. I’ve tried similar projects in the past, moving from one place to the other; it’s never really worked out, but I’m hoping it does this time, and I think it will because I’ve realised how much the blog means to me. There are a few key reasons, and I’m sharing them below: 1. It’s my own personal corner of the internetThis is a really big one, and I proba ..read more

Issues With High School in New Zealand // NZ Education Issues Part Two

{This post has been in the works since forever (the publication of part one, to be more specific), and now that I've finished my second last exam of this year I've decided to go ahead and spend more time on it. It's such a massive rant, and I even go as far as to suggest some "solutions" to the issues of this system (I'm so extra I know, don't come @ me because I'm not an education system expert okay I just know what works and doesn't work for me as a student). If you don't mind that, read on!} Hey, I'm back with another post totally unrelated to books! Due to the popularity of my last post a ..read more

December TBR // summer, relaxation, reading? I hope
Lovely Paranormal Books
by Cas @ daydreamingink
3y ago
I feel like I haven't posted a TBR in ages, but now that I'm free for the summer, why not? I'm gonna try and actually read unlike most of this year (perhaps by avoiding YouTube/the TV/Netflix) as well as extra courses online, so let's see how it goes. I'm hopelessly behind in my reading goal for 2018, a measly 40% so I guess I'm never gonna get there. But I'm still hoping to complete the A-Z Challenge, with nine books to go... - The Towering Sky by Katherine McGee - The President is Missing by James Patterson and Bill Clinton (- The Triple Package/Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua ..read more

November Wrap-up 2018 // exam season, hype for 2019...
Lovely Paranormal Books
by Cas @ daydreamingink

This month started off with the arrival of Kingdom of Ash at my doorstep, which then induced a six day sprint of finishing the book in my last week of school before exams. After that however, with exam prep and general school recovery (procrastination), I didn't get much of a chance to read until the last week of November where I finished Get Remarkably Organised, an inspirational book :) I'm really looking forward to totally relaxing in December, but I'm going to try and actually get more done each day so you never know; I might be on here more often than I have been all year! I hope so ..read more

Unrelatable Feelings/Problems // what is this post?...

So I seem to be posting a lot more recently, even though the posts have sort of gravitated to just being quite random in nature and topic wise. Here's the latest one, inspired by my lovely friend Adair @ Discussions With Myself when she wrote a similar post in geography class and suggested I do so :) I tried to make these as unrelatable as possible? - exams are in four weeks and I'm more stressed about my piano recital/scholarship competition the Saturday before than the actual exams, I should really care more about thing... - I don't ever know what to say in reply to a compliment, I've alwa ..read more

Pet Peeves About Teenager Stereotypes // yes this post comes from a teen

What's up, guys? Here I am, back with ANOTHER post not related to books (I promise book posts are coming, I'm just lazy). The idea to write this post came to me when for what felt like the umpteenth time I walked down the street staring down at my phone, daring strangers to judge me. I try and avoid doing this as a general rule because firstly it's dangerous and also older strangers seem to always be in a mood to judge. But sometimes I just can't be bothered caring, and after checking the way is clear I will do so. I do this a lot going down the stairs outside my local library (weirdly enough ..read more
