book highlight: The Wolf and the Woodsman, by Ava Reid

The first time I heard about this book, I called my mom and told her about it. I thought this book would be everything I needed and more. I was right. I was sitting by the river when I started it, pen in hand. I knew I would be annotating this book a lot. Once…

book highlight: Honey Girl, by Morgan Rogers

I knew right from the first page that I'd be giving Honey Girl 5 stars. I felt this book was something special. I'm going to try and put into words what I'm feeling, and it's probably going to be messy considering how much this book hit me in the heart. Honey Girl has trigger warnings for depression, self-harm,…

book highlight: The First Sister, by Linden A. Lewis

I was a bit scared I wouldn't get to give 5 stars to at least one book in February, and then The First Sister came right at the end and told me not to worry. I have a lot of feelings when it comes to this book, and I hope my review will do it…

book highlight: A Million Junes, by Emily Henry

I used to write an in-depth review of every single book I read. I don't know how I did it honestly. Past me had lots of things to say. I want to bring my in-depth reviews back, but only for my favourite books. It's my goal for 2021: write a review for every 5-stars I…

happy 2 months in edinburgh, scotland!

yes, you've read that correctly. I've been in Edinburgh for two whole months! I'm glad it sounds as weird to you as it does to me. it feels like I've been here for way longer. my brain doesn't seem to comprehend that it hasn't been that long. to be quite honest with you, except for…

why i decided to join booktube

this morning I got to think a bit more about why I decide to start a booktube channel, and I thought I'd share this with you, because I know I'm not the only one who felt scared about making such a big move. also I just want to let everybody know that I'm writing this…

my mental health, a week into quarantine

I've officially been in Scotland for a week. and it's been a rollercoaster when it comes to emotions. I can't remember if I've talked about it here, but I had planned on moving to Scotland today, August 29th. I was supposed to leave with a friend and spend a week with her visiting the city.…

all these crushes i faked to have because of heteronormativity:)))

at first I wanted to write a tweet about this. something short and simple. but then I realised I had way too much to say about this subject for just a few characters. so here goes nothing. I was thinking about these crushes I supposedly had when I was a teen, and the more I…

thoughts on what i read in june 2020

I can't believe I'm writing this wrap up in August...things got a bit wild with my moving preparations and I stopped taking care of my blog, which hopeful won't happen again in the future. looking back on the books I got to read in June, it's clear to me I had a pretty good month!…
