I forget during which of my sisters’ remodels that the term “shiplap” was thrown around, but when it was, I remember being utterly confused, and my family being totally bewildered in response that I’d never heard of a little show called Fixer Upper. Sidebar: I lived without cable for many years, and even when I had […]
To paraphrase my girl, T-Swift, it’s been a long eighteen months, friends. Since last we spoke, I’ve added another ninety or so books to my “read” shelf on Goodreads and added probably that same number to my never-ending TBR list. And that’s how you never run out of things to read. My library and I […]
As I am WOEFULLY behind on this blog, I’m going to be doing some creative and some not-so-creative grouped reviews to try and catch-up with my backlog. Since this is a trilogy, it seemed natural to review it as a whole. I shall endeavor to avoid spoilers! It’s also been a month since I read […]
A book that’s more than 600 pages: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas Why I picked it: Because I am slightly obsessed with SJM and this was one of my most highly anticipated releases of 2016, the other being the fifth book in her other series which comes out in less than 70 […]
A(nother) book based on a fairy tale: The Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh Why I picked it: This book has been on my TBR pretty much since last spring when I finished The Wrath and the Dawn. I’m a huge fan of retellings (in case you haven’t already figured that out yet), and Ahdieh’s […]

A book recommended by someone you just met: The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi Why I picked it: I mean, have you seen the cover? *drools* I first heard about this book on Instagram from Lisa Parkin, creator of Uppercase Box a couple of months ago (I’ll admit, I’m stretching to fit this in this particular Popsugar Challenge […]
image source | image source | image source | image source Part three of my Popsugar Reading Challenge review series. Read the first two installments here and here. Or just, you know, keep scrolling down. A dystopian novel: Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard Why I picked it: Yes, this is yet another YA dystopian trilogy. […]

A book published in 2016: The Winner’s Kiss by Marie Rutkowski Why I picked it: I started the Winner’s Trilogy last year after […]
image source | image source | image source | image source Three months in and I’m a little over a quarter of the way through the 2016 Popsugar Reading Challenge (read more about the challenge and my progress here).
