Happy last day of 2024, besties! We made it! As always with the end of the month it’s time for my monthly wrap up, but since it’s the end of the year I thought I’d also add a few other things, so this post is a bit longer than usual, but I hope you enjoy it!
Get comfy and let’s recap the last month of the year!

With the end of the year comes a lot of lists and reading wrap ups; I’ve done quite a few already myself, but my favorite one to do every year is my top books of the year list!
It was both hard and easy to come up with this list — on one hand I knew some of the books that would be on this list right after I finished reading them, and then others I kinda flipped back and forth on but eventually I figured it out and I’m very happy with how the list turned out. I ended up deciding on 9 books that fall under my top books of the year category and then 8 honorable mentions. What can I say? I read a lot of great books this year! There’s not an order to how these books are listed, I could barely make the list itself, there’s no way I could actually rank them, so in both honorable mentions and top books of the year, the books are listed in the order that I read them.
Get comfy, grab your favorite holiday treat, and let’s go over my top books of the year!

Like every other theatre kid out there I’ve been waiting years for a film adaptation of Wicked — remember when we were told that a Wicked film was going to come out in 2019? The hype around this movie has been pretty insane, and of course, it had to come out during a super busy time for me. However, I finally got to see the film this month, and I definitely had a lot of thoughts, so I figured I had to share them with you all! Please note that there will be spoilers for the film, so if you haven’t seen it yet and you don’t want to be spoiled, wait to read this until you see it!
Get comfy and cozy and get ready to hear all of my thoughts on Wicked (part one…).

Hi besties, it’s officially winter! I both love and hate winter, if I’m being completely honest — I love all the seasons, but with winter comes the dark early nights (it should not be getting dark outside at 4:30 pm) which wreaks absolute havoc on my mental health. Because of that, I make sure to focus on things that bring me a lot of comfort, so that’s the theme for the winter edition of My Favorite Things blog post!
Get cozy, and let’s talk about some of my favorite things to do during the winter!

Last year I posted my most anticipated reads of 2024 (shhh ignore the fact that Truly Devious 6 is on here — I think at the time I wrote this there was talk of it coming out this year but it’s actually a different book, Death at Morning House, that Maureen Johnson released this year), and I thought that it would be fun to look back on that post and see if I actually read the books that I put on the list!

To me, one of the best things about reading is finding a book that really surprises you. Maybe you had it on your TBR and were really looking forward to it and it somehow was even better than you expected. Maybe you’ve never heard of it before, decided to pick it up on a whim and suddenly you’ve found your new favorite book. Regardless, I love having a new read really surprise me, so today, we’re going to talk about the 2024 reads that did just that!

One of my favorite things to do every December is work on my anticipated reads list for the next year. There are so many books coming out in 2025 that I’m excited for, but I managed to narrow the list down to 8 books!
A few of the books that would be on this list I actually have ARCs of already, so they won’t be mentioned in the full list, but I will mention them at the end of the post. Get comfy and cozy and let’s talk about anticipated reads for 2025!

Happy December, my sundrops! I know, I know, I say it basically every month, but I really can’t believe it’s already the last month of the year. I love this time of year and am really excited to close out 2024 in a great way.
Let’s chat all things December!

Hi friends! Another month has come and gone. November has been a pretty stressful month to be honest. I kind of feel like I experienced this entire month in a stress induced haze, but let’s talk about how the month went for me anyway!

Hi besties 💜 we’re coming up on the end of November at this point (what) and I’m sure that like me, many of you are thinking about the holiday season and the gifts that you’re going to get people (and let’s be real, the gifts you’re hoping to get as well).
Since I’m always on the lookout for bookish things, I thought I’d do a post on some bookish gift ideas for the bookworms in your life/some things that you can add to your own wishlists! If you’re in need of some gift ideas, keep reading!
