Happy 2018, everyone! I saw this tag at Bookmark your Thoughts and it seemed like the best tag to start the New Year with. I remember sitting down January 1st of last year and putting together my first book review for this blog which was for The Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova. Since then I have discovered so many new authors and opportunities and am looking forward to seeing what 2018 brings to the literary world.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a topic and you are free to use that topic and/or variations of that topic to make your top ten list. You don’t have to do all ten. Instead you can do three, five, fifteen, whatever you want. A full list of the weekly themes can be found here. Continue reading
Hello everyone! Happy Monday! I thought today, with one week left until Christmas, I would do a tag so we are going to do The Happiness Tag. Christmas, at least in our household, is about happiness and love so what would be better than a tag about happiness? I found this one over at Bella Blogs Because Books.
Renee began Throwback Thursday at Its Book Talk as a way to share some of her old favorites as well as sharing books that she wants to read that were published over a year ago. Books that were published over a year ago are almost always easier to find at libraries or at a discounted sale price. As I have been sifting through my TBR list and purging those books that no longer hold my interest, I came across several from years past that I’d love to share with you! Continue reading
“I assure you, I am perfectly capable of identifying a phallus when I see one,” Stoke informed me, clipping the words sharply. “And that is no such thing.”
A Treacherous Curse (Veronica Speedwell #3) by Deanna Raybourn. I am going to preface my review with a a personal note. This was the first eARC I have received that caused jubilation. I requested this book from NetGalley never expecting to get it. When that accepted e-mail hit my inbox I legitimately danced for joy. I absolutely adored the first two books in this series, A Curious Beginning and A Perilous Undertaking, and to get my hands on this one early was wonderful. Continue reading
Welcome once again to Down the TBR Hole! This is my twelfth time doing this and, unfortunately, I’ve added several books to my TBR since the last time I did this. I just couldn’t help myself! So many wonderful sounding books are being announced, I would be remiss to leave any of them out. Lets see if we can cull any of the older ones today, shall we? Continue reading
Each week in my Book Spotlight piece I will be bringing you an upcoming release. These books are ones I am excited about whether they are from a new or an established author. This week we have one from popular fantasy author Sarah J. Maas! Continue reading
That’s right folks. I did it. I completed my first NaNoWriMo. Official final NaNo word count is 53,200. I have already dove into editing and am really loving it. I’ve heard from others that editing is terrible and difficult but so far I far prefer it to drafting. The tweaking, adding little bits, correcting things that went a little off in drafting…for me it is fun!
Did you participate in NaNoWriMo this year? How did you do? Talk to me!

This week’s theme is Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR. I am personally one of those people that don’t often actually follow my TBR but there are certainly a few books I’m looking forward to reading when it becomes too cold to do much outside!
