Non-WWII Historical-Fiction {P. 2} | Summer Reading 2021

Hello again, dear readers. We have finally reached last (official) post of this (endless) series! I must admit to being rather glad that I am done with sharing my summer reading. I throughly enjoyed these stories, all of the books that I read over the summer, but anything related to summer feels rather wrong now,…

The Inheritance Games – Jennifer Lynn Barnes | A (Brief) Book Review

Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out.

Harriet (2019) | A Powerful + Moving Story | Movie Thoughts

Hello again, dear readers. After having Harriet on our mental watchlist for a couple of years, a couple of my siblings and I watched it several weeks ago. It was powerful and somehow very different than I expected. I am excited to share some of my thoughts with you all, today. Autumn has fully arrived…

Some Other Now – Sarah Everett | A (Brief) Book Review

Before she kissed one of the Cohen boys, seventeen-year-old Jessi Rumfield knew what it was like to have a family—even if, technically, that family didn’t belong to her.

Hello again, dear readers. As summer comes to a close, I have been enjoying reflecting a bit over what the summer held for me, and I wanted to share a few notes- things that I want to remember I guess. Additionally, I am excited about what this school holds for me, so I also have…

WWII Historical-Fiction | Summer Reading 2021

Hello again, dear readers. Summer may end today, but this series is still not quite complete. Today, I am sharing a few of the WWII stories that I actually enjoyed, on some level, this summer. The shear number of books set during the years of the Second World War is insane, and I feel as…

Contemporary Reads YA + Adult | Summer Reading 2021

Hello again, dear readers. Somehow it is already September 15! With school starting, it feels as though this month is flying by. I am grateful that we still have a few more weeks of warm weather to look forward to. 🙂 Anyway, over the summer I enjoyed quite a few contemporary reads, and (as usual)…

Fantasy Reads | Summer Reading 2021

Hello again, dear readers! I am dropping by with the next (very brief) installment of my Summer Reading series. As I mentioned in my tbr post, I have not read much fantasy recently (with the exception of the Grisha trilogy) so this post has, by far, the fewest books on it. And...let's jump right in!…

September + October TBR | The Back-to-School Edition

Hello again, dear readers! Although it has only been a couple weeks since I last posted it feels as though it has been forever. Somehow, summer is coming to an end and school has started. I will never quite understand why the summer months pass so much more quickly than every other month of the…

Non-WWII Historical-Fiction {P. 1} | Summer Reading 2021

Hello again, dear readers. I am excited to be sharing my first Summer Reading post with all of you! After amassing quite a few mini-reviews over the past three or so months I thought that I would organize them by genre (sort of) and share them that way. So, this is only the first post…
