Disclaimer: If you like Kingdom of Ash I definitely don’t hold it against you, but these thoughts are mine and mine alone and not everyone can like the same books, which is why this community is amazing. I hope you’ll be able to read this with an open mind and not hold it against me for […]
I’ve been in the worst reading slump for like TWO years. Like it’s been the actual worst. I read 200+ books in 2015 and 2016, but I only managed to hit 85 last year… and I’m currently on 30. Yep, I’m 19 books behind omg. Of course, this kind of coincides with the fact that I’m at […]

Optimism. I have been thinking a lot lately about our attitude to life and how this affects us in reading and blogging. I recently read an article about how people who are always late (such as myself), tend to have a warped sense of time because they believe they can achieve more in the time […]
So, it took me three weeks to get through Wayfarer, and while it was satisfying finally turning to that last page knowing I conquered a 520+ page book, it’s killed all my reading and blogging motivation.
