#ARCstravaganza: All I Do is Win
Oh man oh man I’m so stoked about this ARC I acquired recently. I do the Penguin First to Read program, where you earn points and they offer you new books every month in literary fiction, romance, mystery/thriller, YA and science fiction to try and review. I’ve only reviewed something once, since they don’t do…
Weeding the TBR #1
Here’s the first batch of books that have either: 1) Been very hyped up, 2) On my TBR list for longer than 2 years and 3) Possibility of losing interest When your TBR gets really huge, it can be really intimidating and make you unsure of what to start next. So I read 5 samples…
T5W: Books That Aren’t Inspired by Western Culture
When I saw this topic, not only was it a great idea, but kinda intimidating at the same time. This list doesn’t have a lot of SFF titles, but these are books that have setting/culture that’s not Western Europe or American. Some of these are also ones that I have not read, but have on…
#ARCstravaganza: Surprise ARC

T5W: Favorite Childhood Books
Let’s be real here, nostalgia is king a lot of the time. When you’re looking through old boxes, stuff at your parents house…it all comes rushing back to you. Since I work at my local library, it’s been crazy seeing all the books I loved as a kid being checked out now. I went through…
#ARCstravaganza: First Post
I recently heard about the lovely Krysti over at YA and Wine doing a weekly ARC extravaganza. Each week, you comment on her post with sharing your own excitement about ARC’s and it helps enter you in a giveaway for another ARC. I haven’t been getting many lately, but here’s two that I recently acquired. The Scion…

What Cats Can Do Book Tag
I was tagged by the awesome Amanda (same name ho ho) at Literary Weaponry and I was so stoked to do this tag! I’ve been a crazy cat lady (at heart) since my family rescued my cat Oreo 13 years ago. Then I gained 2 more kitties when I married my husband. Here’s my three furries: So…
T5W: Books with No/Very Minor Romance
First of all, I hope that everyone had a great 4th of July if you live in the US! This is a topic that always has people interested. I think that lately, people are starting to not like seeing romance in practically book that’s coming out (especially YA). So I’m sure some people were happy…
July TBR(ish)
So…I’ve been getting into a reading problem. I’m not really motivated to pick stuff up, starting too many and finishing some. I’m just in a weird reading mood right now. So, for July, I’m not forcing myself to do anything major for reading. This will not be a job for me; reading is a fun…
