I feel like I keep making reading plans, then not exactly sticking to them. I also feel like my TBR has gotten to be a bit intimidating even though I try to keep it relatively small. So I took a lot of things off my general TBR and just kept the things I’m most excited … More February TBR | 2023
Last month I finished reading 11 books. A real mixed bag of books from the tbr, series, and a new release. I ended up re-evaluating my general tbr in the middle of the month, taking a lot of things off of it and altering my reading plans for the rest of the month. I’m happy … More January Wrap Up | 2023
In an attempt to reduce the number of series I’m reading at once, I recently decided to DNF quite a few, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still in the middle of a fair amount. Hopefully I can catch up on most of them and get my current series down to just a few at … More Series I Will Finish in 2023

For today, however, it’s … More Birthday Book Tag

Here are some of the sci-fi/fantasy releases coming out next month that I think sound interesting, along with their release date, publishers’ summaries, and links to the publishers’ pages.

I’m making a solid effort to reduce the number of series I’m currently reading this year, either by finishing series or DNFing them.

Last week we had another snow storm and it’s rather white and chilly out there now.

As we all set and share our reading goals for the year, a few questions have come up. What’s a good goal? Should we be trying to read more or less? What counts toward our goals? It’s easy to compare our own goals with those of others, but most of the time we’re just comparing … More Quality vs. Quantity
Too many books, not enough time. The usual problem. Most of these books came out last year and I really want to get to them soon. They’re all fantasy, either fairytales or authors I’ve previously loved. I will definitely probably maybe read these books this year.

With the new year, a lot of people like to set resolutions to live a better life. Although I do like setting some goals for myself to work toward in the new year, I never set traditional resolutions. So instead, I thought I’d talk about some books based on common resolutions in the form of … More Good Intentions | Book Tag
It’s a lot easier to say you’re going to read a book than it is to actually read it. I’ve had more than a few books on TBRs or anticipated reads lists that I ended up either DNFing or just never making time for and still hope to get to at some point. Here’s every … More Every Book I Didn’t Read in 2022
After joining the book community a few years ago, it wasn’t until last year that I made a true effort to get more involved.
