What’s This? What’s This? An October TBR?

Sick Nightmare Before Christmas reference in the title right? (heh....heh.....) Anyways, its finally October, things are about to get spooky. I love coming up with my October TBRs because I honestly love reading mysteries and thrillers (which is hilarious because I’m terrified of everything), and this month gives me the chance to read those and …

A More…Historical Wrap Up

Honestly the end of September came so fast I think I have whiplash. This month was awfully busy, a lot of working, a lot of Hell’s Kitchen watching, but not a lot of reading. I participated in Contemporary-a-thon in the middle of the week, which is where most of my reading took place. Last week, …

A Pretty Good Reading Week

As the temperatures get cooler outside in Southern California – and by cooler I mean stuck at 70 degrees...sigh – I’m holed up inside feeling like death. So, as I’m sitting in my apartment watching The Great British Bake Off, I figured I would catch you guys up on the results of Contemporary-a-thon last week. If …

Another Week, Another Readathon

In October, I'm reading all spooky books again, so I'm using September as a sort of bridge month. Just reading whatever I can get my hands on before things get darker. But when I found out that the next round of Contemporary-a-thon was happening I thought, why not? I've got a bunch of contemporary novels …

The Month of Catch Ups and Re Reads

I'm happy to say that my Summer Slump has ended (but alas, the Southern California heat persists, much to my sweater loving chagrin) and I'm back on track with my reading goals for the year. In August, I threw caution to the wind and didn't follow any sort of TBR, I just read what I …

Trying Something…New.

I talked about my reading slump in my June Wrap Up, and it's safe to say that I'm far from out of said slump (the last time I read was July 1st...and I'm writing this on July 14th). These past two-ish weeks, I've been trying to figure out the real reason why I haven't been …

I Told You My Plans Wouldn’t Pan Out

  So...uh, remember when I said back at the beginning of June I was going to try to do the Cramathon challenge, but I didn't think I could finish reading 7 books in a week? Yeah. I was right. In fact, I couldn't read 7 books in the month, and I kind of blame the Stalking Jack The …

A Readathon Plus Some Extras – June TBR

So the second week of June is the summer round of the Cramathon Readathon. Because the Buzzword Readathon went so well last month, I'm going to attempt another readathon in June - the problem is...there are seven challenges. I'm going to do my best but there's a very good chance that this list will be …

The Best Reading Month of 2018 (so far)

I really wasn't expecting May to be as good of a reading month as it was, but hey, I'll take it! May started off on a kind of bad note, as you'll see in the reviews below, but overall everything I read I pretty much enjoyed. In total I read 9 books this month! To …

The Best Readathon in Awhile

...Okay to be completely fair, before the Buzzword Readathon last week, I've only participated in one readathon - Spookathon, back in October - and I didn't do great. Out of the five challenges back during Spookathon I only finished two. But, the Buzzword Readathon had one challenge: Read a book with the word "girl" in the title. …
