How Audiobooks Changed My Reading

October 18, 2019July 17, 2020 ~ Deja ~ Leave a comment

Hey, y'all! It's been a minute, and school has been eating me alive. I decided to take two eight week courses which made the first eight weeks of the semester the busiest weeks ever. Throughout this time, my reading was basically nonexistent. I was pushing about one book a month, if that. Let's just say … Continue reading How Audiobooks Changed My Reading

On My Fear of Finishing TV Shows

August 3, 2019April 30, 2020 ~ Deja ~ 11 Comments

I love watching TV. Next to reading, it's one of my favorite pastimes. Sometimes, I think I binge television shows more than I read. But, as much as I love it, I have a reoccurring habit that I can't seem to drop: I can't finish TV shows. I know it sounds crazy. The point of … Continue reading On My Fear of Finishing TV Shows

Stop Telling Me I Won’t Have Time To Read

July 15, 2019July 17, 2020 ~ Deja ~ Leave a comment

Hey, y'all! Today's post is one that I've been wanting to make for some time. I wanted to address this because it's been a reoccurring theme in my life in the last year or so and I think it's important to tackle it head-on. When I was 14 years old, I started a Bookstgram (and … Continue reading Stop Telling Me I Won’t Have Time To Read

I had a really great time at the convention and in New York in general.

So…You’re An English Major?

November 16, 2018May 31, 2021 ~ Deja ~ 4 Comments

"You're majoring in English? So, you want to teach?" is the main follow-up question I get asked when people find out my major; from both other students and strangers. It's automatically assumed that the only reason I'd major in English is to become a teacher. English teachers are awesome and I'm immensely grateful for the … Continue reading So…You’re An English Major?

On Change In Reading Taste

May 1, 2018August 9, 2018 ~ Deja ~ Leave a comment

My senior year of high school has allowed me to branch out more with my reading taste (thanks to my AP English Literature class). Since I'm graduating high school in just under a month, I know that there are novels I have to read before college. Especially since I will be studying English. My reading taste … Continue reading On Change In Reading Taste

Currently Reading

My May hopefuls ☀️🌱🌸. We’re a little ways into the month but better late than never right? Something fun about writing book reviews is that I’m able to refer back to my older reviews and realize that I’d probably enjoy some books way more upon a re-read since I’d know what to expect. Recent book mail / book haul 💌📚. It’s been a slower reading month for me in March! I’ve finished about 3 books so far, so I’ll happy if I can squeeze in at least one more before the month is out 🤞🏾. The way I’ve been in the middle of the third book in this series forever 😅. I’ve been reading it off an on for months! I definitely need to prioritize it more in the coming weeks 🤞🏾. Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry has been on my TBR since it’s release last year! I’ve only read one YA romance so far in 2022, so I really want to remedy that this spring. I love this cover and it’s also blurbed by Kristina Forest who’s taste I trust, so I need to bump this one up on my TBR. I only own multiple copies of my absolute favorite books, and ANNA definitely fits the bill 🤍📖✨. I love seeing the evolution of its covers! A few series that I’m either in the middle of or near finishing ❤️. I finally read Pride and Prejudice at the end of last year after years of saying that I would. And I really enjoyed it! I’m on track with reading at least one Austen book a year now. The other was Sense & Sensibility which I read at the start of 2020.
