This Christmas I was in charge of the dessert (as is often the case — my family doesn’t seem to mind). Since we celebrated Christmas over at my aunt and uncle’s, I had to make something that was relatively easy to transport. Besides that, I also needed to make sure it didn’t involve any chocolate, […]

It’s officially 2015, everyone! I can’t believe it’s already been fifteen years since the new millennium… Anyway, enough with the old people talk (HA, I’m 21…).

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Holy moly, another year over! Well, almost over — there’s still time to finish one more book, I’d say. Before doing so, however, it’s time to write down some bookish resolutions for 2015! This year was my first full year of blogging here at Books […]

Before I started blogging, I didn’t know about the existence of this little thing called a read-a-thon. However, over the past year I’ve come across quite a few of them, and I became intrigued! I was always too late, though, or too busy if I wasn’t too late, or too overwhelmed by the idea of reading a […]

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. It’s been a while since I did a Top Ten Tuesday, but since the end of the year is in sight, the prompts are starting to focus on that as well, which I love! This week’s topic is Top Ten Books I Read in […]

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga at Tynga’s Reviews, and is all about sharing books you’ve recently added to your shelves. For a book blogger, I don’t buy (or get) all that many new books, so making this meme a regular new feature on my blog (as in, once a week), is not really […]

“If we burn, you burn with us.” Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But she’s still not safe. A revolution is unfolding, and everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans — everyone except Katniss. And yet she must play the most vital part in the final battle. Katniss […]
