A few months ago, I went to New York City. Why? Well, for the libraries and bookstores, of course. I not only got to see the Books are Magic bookstore and take a pic in front of the famous mural, but I also made a pit stop at the New York Public Library. Which is […]
This title might have thrown you off. I know, I know, this is a book blog (but it’s also my blog and I do what I want *disco pose*). But Lover is an amazing album, okay. While my true love will forever be books, great music never fails to pull my heartstrings. There are just […]
Bookstagram made me buy The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, but the amazing writing and characters kept me reading. I seriously cannot tell you how much I loved this book. It is SO GOOD. SO GOOD. So good you have to repeat yourself just to be sure you make complete emphasis about how GOOD it […]
I am so glad that I got the chance to read an early review copy for Christina Lauren’s new book, coming out October 22. Their most recent release, The Unhoneymooners, was amazing and has become one of my new favorites, so I couldn’t wait to read Twice in a Blue Moon. I knew this book […]
If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you probably don’t know that I turned 21 yesterday. Here in the United States, that means I can legally drink. At lassst, I’ve aged out of birthdays to look forward to. I figured y’all could share in my celebration through books (duh). These are 21 of my favorite […]

Heal Your Self is Mari’s second book, following her first award-winning book on journaling, Journaling Power. In her second book, Mari collected moving personal stories in order to form a guide to successful […]
Attachments is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. It is creative and unique and weird in a way no book I’ve read before has been. And I loved it. I bought Attachments because I read Fangirl a little while ago (read the review here) and fell in love with Rainbow Rowell’s […]
As a semi-professional bookworm, I consider it my most important duty to visit independent bookstores across the country. So, when I landed in Los Angeles, CA, I looked up some of the best bookstores in the city — and I found a true bookworm treasure: The Last Bookstore in Downtown LA. It’s perfect for used […]
It’s America’s birthday today! And she’s looking good for 243. If you are wanting to feel extra patriotic on the Fourth of July, these are some great books to read. The good and the bad are there, as they are everywhere, and these books show a mixture of that. But they also show all the […]
If you are anything like me, you really enjoy thinking of songs that should accompany the greatest moments in the book you are currently reading. Or maybe that’s just a weird thing I do. Either way, the Throne of Glass series has so many perfect moments for songs to cut in. I made a soundtrack […]
