There are two books on my weekend reading itinerary. One of them is a Japanese steampunk novel that has been on my TBR for over a year. My local library had a copy, so I snagged it the last time that I was here. The second book is the first novel in one of my favourite sword and sorcery trilogies of all-time, a trilogy that I love to read and re-read, especially when I’m having a difficult time dealing with real-life challenges
Ah, it’s Saturday afternoon and chances are that I am currently curled up in bed with my dearest Sir Khebbertons, which isn’t a bad way to spend a weekend that is supposed to be cool and cloudy but is instead infested with grotesque heat and sunshine. If you saw my Currently Reading post from earlier,…
Happy Saturday morning, chums! I hope that you are all doing swell. The weather in my corner of the world is very chilly with a high chance of rain, which makes me very happy. This means that I have an excuse to drink lots of hot cocoa all weekend long. I can’t really complain about…
TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF MY COLLEGE CAREER!! While you guys are reading this, I’ll be sitting in my Japanese class. I can guarantee that I’m feeling equal parts surreal, anxious, and excited right about now. Since today is my first day in Japanese class, I thought it would be neat to share with…
A couple of days ago, I was sitting around trying to organise the chaos that are my bookshelves, and it occurred to me that there’s only a little over one month left in 2018. I remember having a small list of books that I wanted to read during the year, and sadly, I didn’t get…
Last week I was feeling stressed out about all of the library books that I had checked-out. I made a Library Wish List and decided to return a lot of the books that I renewed multiple times. I also felt guilty about hoarding them without having read them in so long. However, I then encountered…
Day 23: A book you’ve wanted to read for a long time, but still haven’t. I have a feeling that some of you will be surprised with one of my choices here given the author, but I have two books to share. The first one is Blood Rights by Kristen Painter, which I talked about…
To-Be-Read stacks can be awesome because they give the bookworm tons of options on what to pick up after finishing a book, however. This can also create madness within a bibliophile because sometimes everything on the TBR list sounds and looks fantastic, thus making it a hundred times harder to actually choose that next read.…
Yay! Saturday is finally here! This means I get to return some library books and then spend the day playing video games with Sir Betrothed; hell, we may even take a nap because that’s what Saturdays are for. You know what else Saturdays are for? Lazy book reading in bed while in my cosiest pyjamas,…
With Summer looming around the corner, I picked up a small stack of books that I’d like to tackle during the heat-stroke-inducing season of melted ice-cream and burned BBQ parties. I’m a bit proud of myself as there is a decent amount of variety to the four books that I’m going to be sharing with…
Twitter can be a toxic hellhole occasionally, but more often than not when I’m surrounded by excellent company, such as the Diverse Book Bloggers that I follow and the large otaku community, I feel inspired and happy. It even leads me to discovering some really neat blog-happenings, such as the Queer Literature Readathon that I…
Japanese literature is my favourite genre of books to read. My passion for #OwnVoices Japanese books cannot be put into words. It is a powerful and all-encompassing love that ignites my soul and keeps the bibliophile in me alive. When I picked up Battle Royale by Kōshun Takami for the very first time, it completely…
Happy Friday, bibliophiles, and otaku dragons! Today I am going to be announcing my unofficial participation in the Bout of Books 22 readathon and sharing the stack of books I plan on reading during the event! The reason that I say my partaking is unofficial is that I am not going to be signing up…
For March, I decided to try my luck with a mini-TBR (to-be-read) list. For anyone who has been following either my blog or BookTube platforms for a bit, you have listened to me explain that I am not someone who creates monthly TBR lists because they tend to put me into a reading slump. This…
Good morning friends! For anyone who’s stuck around here for a while, or has seen my BookTube channel, they are familiar with the fact that I don’t tend to read a lot of hyped books. When books are super hyped, I’ve noticed that they always fall short in some way or another. However, there are…
