What Makes a Good Sequel?

Is it just me, or are there a lot of sequels being released recently? I guess there are always lots of new sequels, but this month it seems like there are a lot more than normal. And not just sequels, but also third, fourth, etc. books in a series. I love reading series and I […]

April was a really good month for me. For starters, I read seven amazing books, which is a lot considering I’ve been so behind lately, and reached 2k on Instagram! Oh and I also had a much needed spring break halfway through the month of which my family went and visited some friends then did […]

The Les Misérables Book Tag

My love for Les Mis only continues to grow. As I’m writing this, I’m listening to the cast recording on repeat. Actually, I have a playlist with two cast recording and the movie cast recording, so I’m listening to all three of them. Anyways, I thought the Les Mis book tag would be perfect to […]

March Wrap Up + Haul

I’m going to be completely honest here and say that March was a lot better than February. It was a pretty tough month for me because of some things that happened, but thankfully March turned out to be much better. I read more books as well and I’m also almost all caught up with ARCs. Yay! I […]

Books That Need to Be Adapted Into Movies

Even though book to movie adaptations aren’t always the best, there are some adaptations I seriously need. Like if these books aren’t turned into movie soon, I’ll probably die waiting for them. But for just a second, let’s talk about all the adaptations that are in the works.
