Hello everyone! I’m back!!! I started the year with so much motivation and passion for reading and blogging and then the worst reading slump of my life started in February and got a lot worse in March. I keep saying reading slump, but honestly, it was more generalized than that. For almost two months, I didn’t want to know anything about book-related things, so I wasn’t reading, blogging, or reading blogs, I didn’t go into Bookstagram and I still haven’t, and something that has never happened before, I even stopped watching Booktube videos for a while. It was terrible! I’m grateful that the ..read more

My movie and tv show reviews are back for another year and I’m already behind because while I haven’t been reading that much in 2024 so far, I have watched so many things. So, expect another of these posts soon. For now, here are my thoughts on some of the things I watched at the beginning of the year: Anyone But You (4.5 stars): I don’t care what anyone says, Sydney Sweeney and Glenn Powell have fantastic chemistry. The sexual tension, the flirting and the banter were all there. Also, this was really funny, I laughed multiple times, and overall this movie was such a blast to watch. More i ..read more

This may sound very cliche but I can’t believe that the first month of the year is already over. My reading in january was very inconsistent, in the sense that I had a few books I loved but also I don’t usually give books under 3 stars and this month I had 2 books that got 2.5 stars. Here are my thoughts in the books I read this month: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett (4.5 stars): For the most part, this is a cozy fantasy with a slow pace, told in an academic and epistolary style, and with a few darker and violent elements since it’s a book about fairies. The story ..read more

February is Black History Month and while I read books by Black authors all year around, every year I like to put together a tbr list of books by Black authors to read during this month and I always have have so much fun doing it. This year cozy mysteries seem to be what I was in the mood for, so there’s a few of them, but I still have books from other genres to read from. Murder is a Piece of Cake by Valerie Burns: I’m on my cozy mystery era and I really enjoyed the first book in this series, so I’m excited to continue with it. A Game of Cones and A Killer Sundae by Abby Collette: This s ..read more

For the third year in a row, I decided to put together a tbr based on the lists of favorite books of 2023 posted by bloggers, bookstagrammers and booktubers. I have found that this is a great way to discover new authors and read books that are outside my comfort zone, so I’m excited to do it again. To pick the books for this tbr, I used the same rules from the past two years: It had to be on the list of favorite/best books of 2023 of more than 1 person It had to have good reviews from my goodread friends It had to sound interesting to me After going through so many lists of best books of t ..read more

This is technically part two to my list of anticipated releases of the first half of 2024 which I posted a couple days ago. This is focused only on romance because I read too many romance books and I have a never ending list of romances that I want to read. Without further ado, here are some upcoming romance books I want to read: The Takeover by Cara Tanamachi Why do I want to read it? I really enjoy rivals to lovers romances and I want to read more romance books by Japanese authors. Release date: January 30, 2024 Synopsis On Nami’s 30th birthday, she’s reminded at every turn that her life ..read more

This post was so fun to put together, I have so many books I can’t wait to read in the first half of 2024 and I enjoyed putting together this list with my top most anticipated books. This list doesn’t include romance because I wrote a separate post with my most anticipated romances that it’s coming in a couple of days. This list is posted as part of top ten Tuesday, which is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. I tried to make it my top 10 but I failed, so instead is my top 15. Wihtout further ado, my most anticipated releases of the first half of 2024 in order of their release date ..read more

I usually don’t write a “worst books of the year” post, sometimes I write a “most disappointing books” post, but overall I don’t spend too much time talking about the books I didn’t like. But, this year, there were a few books that I really didn’t enjoy reading or that frustrated me a lot and that’s why I decided to write this post. Only the first two books on this list got 2 stars, the rest are 3 stars that were almost 2 stars but I saw some redeeming qualities in them. Here are my least favorite books of 2023: 1. Behold the Monster by Jillian Lauren I disliked this book so much for so man ..read more

Hello everyone! A couple of days ago I shared a post about the best books I read in 2023, but I did not include romance books on that list since it’s the genre I read the most of (40% of my reading) and I read a lot of incredible romance books in 2023, so I decided to write a separate post to shout out the best romances I read last year: 1. Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood I love books where the guy falls first and spends a big part of the book pinning for the girl, while she is oblivious, and this book delivered that perfectly. It also did a great job showing the development of their ..read more
