    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (Feb 20)

    Much love to Book Journey for hosting! Click the button to join on in. I’m sticking right to what I’ve been planning to read. In all honesty, only setting myself 2 or 3 books per week to read has massively lowered my stress over this blog. After all, this is my passion! I don’t want it to turn into a job instead :). Here’s what this bibliophile’s week looks like! This Week’s Reviews: Slipping Reality by Emily Beaver (3/5) – An original concept that was executed fairly well! The Nightmare Garden (Iron Codex #2) by Caitlin Kitteredge (4/5) – Pretty…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (Jan 2)

    In an effort to “take back my blog” I’ve decided to start participating in memes that I loved and stopped doing!
