Favourite Books So Far of 2019

I’ve read a fair number of books so far this year, surpassing the 50-book goal that I set nearly every year. It’s a goal that I didn’t reach last year, which makes me revel in the feeling that I at least accomplished one of the goals I set for 2019. But enough of that – let’s get to my favourite books I read so far … Continue reading Favourite Books So Far of 2019

Reflections | Summer 2019

September is my reset. It’s the month that I hit restart. It is the most natural month to do so after spending the majority of my life in school. And after the summer that I had, it’s the best way to start things anew for the upcoming months ahead. My summer didn’t turn out the way that I had expected to. I had decided that … Continue reading Reflections | Summer 2019

Book Musings | February 2019

February felt like a drag. Maybe it was the never-ending freezing temperatures and snow or maybe it was all the madness in the world, I’m not sure. But the month certainly felt like it was never going to end. Stagnancy permeated the air throughout the month, and it bred this slow, sluggish feeling in me that I just could not shake. I felt stuck throughout … Continue reading Book Musings | February 2019

Spotlight on Susannah Nix

You know that smile that grows on your face, almost unassumingly as you fall in love with the characters and the story that you are reading? That smile that grows and grows, that creates a source of joy from within, that adds fuel to your desire to finish said book in one sitting and ignore everything and everyone else in your life? Well, that’s how … Continue reading Spotlight on Susannah Nix

April 2018 | Book Musings

I know I’ve said this before, but seriously, this year has just flown by and I cannot believe that April is already over. Well, almost over. There are a few more days to go, but still, May is on its way and there’s nothing stopping it. I really got back into my reading groove in April. I actually read the most books in a single … Continue reading April 2018 | Book Musings

Feb & Mar 2018 | Book Musings

As April approaches, I seriously wonder where February and March have gone. The past two months have gone by in a blur. Between school, work, and both of my parents falling ill, it’s all been a bit mad, to say the least. I’m slowly starting to regain, I wouldn’t say balance, but at least some of the solidity underneath my feet. I’m not a huge … Continue reading Feb & Mar 2018 | Book Musings

January 2018 | Book Musings

January is over. January is always a weird month, I find. So much happens in January, or has to happen. It’s the beginning of a new year. It’s the start of many different endeavours and resolutions. School starts again for many. There’s a lot of pressure placed on January and what must be accomplished in the month. I felt a lot of that pressure this … Continue reading January 2018 | Book Musings

My Favourite Books of 2017

2017 was a quite a year, to say the least. It was a stressful, crazy, just absolutely mad year, and I’m just talking about my own personal life, the real world was even crazier and even more depressing. That being said, the books that I read reflected or were influenced by the world that was 2017. I set myself a number of reading challenges at … Continue reading My Favourite Books of 2017
