Read moreY’all knew I couldn’t let April pass without some sort of Shakespeare related post! As I do every April, I had a lot of Shakespeare related reads on my TBR, and something I’ve wanted to do for a long time is read plays that are either Shakespeare retellings or inspired by Shakespeare.
I ended up reading 4 plays this week, and I thought it was really interesting to see how different playwrights interpreted and adapted Shakespeare’s works. While I didn’t get to as many plays as I was hoping to this week, I did finally read some that I’ve been meaning to read for a while, which I’m definitely happy about!
Read moreHappy Thursday, friends! We all know that I love a good readathon — it combines two of my favorite things; reading and competition. To be clear, I do not see a readathon as a competition between me and another person, it’s a competition between my schedule and how many books I can read in during the readathon schedule. Because of this, I’m always looking for new readathons and I got SO excited when I heard about the No Body, No Crime thriller focused readathon, hosted by nobodynocrimebookclub on Instagram. It combined even more of my favorite things; readathons, thrillers and Taylor Swift, truly it felt like a readathon just for me.
The readathon was from April 4th – 7th, and included 4 prompts. The prompts were: Isolated Setting, New Release, Favorite Trope, and Good For Her/Revenge. Firstly, love those prompts, it gives you so many options, and I knew right away which books I would be putting on my TBR.
Spoiler alert — this was my most successful readathon to date! Not only did I complete the readathon in the allotted amount of time and check off three books from my owned TBR, but all of these books got at least a 4 star rating. Honestly, you can’t ask for a much more successful readathon experience!
Since I enjoyed all of these books so much, I figured it only made sense that I would write up some mini reviews, so get cozy and keep reading to hear my thoughts on the four novels I read over the weekend!
Read moreFrom the author of the multimillion bestselling A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series and Five Survive comes a new true-crime fueled mystery thriller about a girl determined to uncover the shocking truth about her missing mother while filming a documentary on the unsolved case.
Lights. Camera. Lies.
18-year-old Bel has lived her whole life in the shadow of her mom’s mysterious disappearance. Sixteen years ago, Rachel Price vanished and young Bel was the only witness, but she has no memory of it. Rachel is gone, long presumed dead, and Bel wishes everyone would just move on.
But the case is dragged up from the past when the Price family agree to a true crime documentary. Bel can’t wait for filming to end, for life to go back to normal. And then the impossible happens. Rachel Price reappears, and life will never be normal again.
Rachel has an unbelievable story about what happened to her. Unbelievable, because Bel isn’t sure it’s real. If Rachel is lying, then where has she been all this time? And – could she be dangerous? With the cameras still rolling, Bel must uncover the truth about her mother, and find out why Rachel Price really came back from the dead . . .
From world-renowned author Holly Jackson comes a mind-blowing masterpiece about one girl’s search for the truth, and the terror in finding out who your family really is.
Hey y’all, it’s the end of the month and you know what that means! Get cozy and let’s chat about March!
Read moreEarlier this month Kayla from BooksandLala (one of my favorite BookTubers) posted her annual “Choosing My Next Read | Scavenger Hunt Decides My TBR” video — this scavenger hunt sounded so fun that I wanted to try it this month, and me being me, decided to find a way to turn it into a blog post!
Truthfully, I’m not totally sure how this will work from vlog to blog format, but I thought it would be fun to try. So, in this post, I’m going to take you through the scavenger hunt with me and we’re going to find out together what my next read will be, and let me tell you…it’s a process to get there! Let’s get started!
Read moreHi friends! A little while ago, I saw someone I follow on Bookstagram (readbycait – feel free to come and say hi!) made a post where they shared books that they felt defined their reading taste. I thought that was such a fun idea, so I wanted to try my hand at it!
My birthday was on Tuesday, so as I’ve now entered a new year of my life, I figured this would be the perfect time to do a post like that! Grab your favorite beverage, get cozy and let’s chat about the books that I think define my reading taste.
Read moreHi friends! I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately (as I write this post I’ve finished my 41st book of the year!) and I thought it would be fun to do some mini reviews!
After reading a lot of romance in the beginning and middle of February, I’ve shifted gears and been focusing on mystery/thrillers, so I thought I’d share some short reviews of some of the ones I’ve read in the last 2 or so weeks.
Read moreHi besties! I hope that you had a fabulous February! It’s been a bit of a crazy month around here.
Grab your favorite cozy beverage, a warm blanket and let’s chat about the month!
Read moreShe thought she had her life back. She was wrong. It was a mistake to trust him.
Shivering and bruised, a teen wakes up on the side of a dirt road with no memory of how she got there―or who she is. A passing officer takes her to the police station, and not long after, a frantic man arrives. He’s been searching for her for hours. He has her school ID, her birth certificate, and even family photos. He is her father. Her name is Mary. Or so he says.
When Lola slammed the car door and stormed off into the night, Drew thought they just needed some time to cool off. Except Lola disappeared, and the sheriff, his friends, and the whole town are convinced Drew murdered his girlfriend. Forget proving his innocence, he needs to find her before it’s too late. The longer Lola is missing, the fewer leads there are to follow…and the more danger they both are in.
