I know, I know. Reading wrap-ups need to happen at the end of the month or the beginning of the following month. Still, here I am in the middle of December, writing about the books I read in November while also discussing The Bloomin’ Readathon, which I also participated in. Last year when I … Continue reading My November Wrap-Up + Participating in the Bloomin’ Readathon
Looking back at my previous blog post from earlier this year, An Introduction to StoryGraph and the Genre Challenge, I chuckle at how incredibly accurate yet contradictory my first statement is. “Despite being a millennial, I’m not inclined to navigate new social media platforms.” This is entirely true, but then I go off on a tangent about … Continue reading Completing the StoryGraph Genre Challenge for 2022
Hi bookish friends! Happy Monday. It's currently 1:36 a.m., and I'm wide awake, thanks to going to bed around 7:30 p.m. last night.

However, that wasn’t the case for Carrie Soto is Back. Not only did I preorder it, but I also made sure to … Continue reading Preparing to Meet Carrie Soto
“Ichita Copita Melaka Mystica” Twenty-nine years ago, I sat in a theater with my cousin, aunt, and uncle, mesmerized by three Sanderson witches, a black cat, and a few mischievous children, all of whom were running amok in Salem, Mass. Since then, the film has been a constant, especially during the Halloween “Spooky” season. Like … Continue reading Hocus Pocus & The All New Sequel
Blink. It’s now August. And the only blog I did for July was my June Wrap Up. Where did the time go? It was a busy month. Full of producing videos, taking photos of the community, and I did a little traveling. With six books, 1,572 books, and nine genres, I would say that this … Continue reading My July 2022 Reading Wrap Up
With June being Pride Month, I needed to read several LGBTQ-themed novels, which also happens to be my most-read genre this month. Three of the eight books I read during June were from the LGBTQ Genre. I also read 2,552 pages and novels from the Historical, Classics, and True Crime genres. I read a couple … Continue reading My June Wrap Up 🏳️🌈
Hi bookish friends! In 2018, before my leukemia diagnoses, I went to Burgaw and Southport, North Carolina filming a location spotlight video while also comparing the movie to the book!

In October of 1973 the world … Continue reading Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸 I Know What You Did Last Summer Multimedia
With the release of Hulu’s adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Conversations with Friends, I decided it was time to sit down and reread the novel before watching the series. What transpired was a reread of Rooney’s collection of novels, which includes Normal People and Beautiful World Where Are You. It’s common knowledge at this point, if you’re a reader of Sally … Continue reading Ranking Sally Rooney’s Collection of Books
