Review: Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo

Review: Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo

I finally finished Rule of Wolves, and I have many thoughts. I wrote a very long-winded review on Goodreads, so I decided I’d repost it here (with a few minor tweaks). It’s a little more informal in some places than I’d normally write a review for a blog, but the thoughts are fresh! Just a warning, there are spoilers for Rule of Wolves and the King of Scars duology as a whole ahead. – Okay, I…

Most Anticipated Spring Book Releases (2021)

It’s that time again: time for me to break down which upcoming book releases I’m most excited about! Now, will I actually get around to reading all of these books? Probably not. At least, not this year. But am I going to try my best? …Hopefully. Anyways, here’s a list of just some of the books releasing this spring that I’m excited about!

Most Anticipated Winter Book Releases (2020/2021)

Most Anticipated Winter Book Releases (2020/2021)

Time has been…incredibly strange this year, and I can’t believe that winter is almost officially here. And I’m Canadian, which means that winter will probably be lasting until about mid-April for me. Despite Christmas being one of my favourite times of the year, winter is definitely my least favourite season overall, because I absolutely HATE being cold, and I hate driving in the snow because of…

Review: Little Mix's 'Confetti'

Review: Little Mix’s ‘Confetti’

This one is definitely going to be a departure from anything book-related, but I have opinions and I want to share them! Which is why today I’m…doing a music review, I guess?

I want to say right off the bat that I’m aware that I have basically no qualifications to be critiquing or reviewing music. I can read music and play a couple of instruments (and I’m very mediocre at them), but that’s all…

Review: The Existence of Amy by Lana Grace Riva

Review: The Existence of Amy by Lana Grace Riva

That’s right, I’m finally back with another review! I would like to do these somewhat often, but I’m not sure if I should stick to newer releases or also review slightly older books that I find I have a lot to say about. If you have preferences or suggestions, let me know!

For this particular review, the author of this book reached out to me and kindly offered to send me a copy in exchange for…

Cozy Autumn Book Tag

Cozy Autumn Book Tag

It’s finally fall, which is my favourite season, and it’s been a while since I’ve done a tag, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to talk all about autumnal bookish things!

This tag was originally created by Lucy from the channel The Book Belle on YouTube .

What book always reminds you of fall/autumn?

image: mine!

For me, it’s one of my favourite books of all time: If…

12.10 | this essay took an entire lifetime to get through

Autumn makes me want to live in a small town with tons of history and character. Leaf-strewn cobblestone streets. Old buildings and homes that range from small cottages to large estates. Maple, oak, and pine trees line the streets and cluster in yards, and when they all turn orange and gold in the fall it’s the most beautiful sight. Small local businesses thrive. It’s walking distance to your favorite coffee shop or diner. There’s an ancient library on the edge of town with the greatest selection of books, comfy armchairs, tables, and big windows to read by. Time moves slower there. Everything is safe.

“Very few of us are what we seem.”

Went to pilates first thing in the morning and then to the shops afterwards. It’s a beautiful day, but I’m spending it inside revising my maths notes. 😊 Good start of the week!

Quick Reviews: All of the Books I Read on Vacation

Quick Reviews: All of the Books I Read on Vacation

I just came back from a week of vacation (my family went to a cottage by the lake), where I spent a lot of time reading…because there wasn’t much else to do. And since coming up with blog post ideas is hard, I thought this week I would do short reviews of all of the books that I read while I was away!

Right off the bat, I want to say that these are all non-spoiler reviews, so if you want to…

Ranking the Bridges on 'folklore' by Taylor Swift

Ranking the Bridges on ‘folklore’ by Taylor Swift

At this point, it’s a well-established fact that Taylor Swift has some truly fantastic bridges in her discography. I mean, the songs are great in full, but often the bridges are the best parts of some of her best songs (take for example, “Cruel Summer” and “All Too Well”, both iconic songs with equally iconic bridges). 

I’ve done a list of my favourite Taylor Swift bridges in the past, on…
