Thoughts on the Heartstopper TV-Show

I very clearly remember binge reading the first volumes of Heartstopper a few years ago around New Year's Day in the car. That truly was a great way to start the new year full of fluff and happiness. Then I continued reading the story through the webcomic. When the TV Show was announced, like many…

The Rick Riordan stan in me is thriving: A Book Review & PJO Casting Feels

A few chaotic notes on Daughter of the Deep have been lying in my drafts for a while. These were then joined by a bit of screaming about the Percy casting. The casting news for the rest of the trio now finally provided the motivation I needed to compile all of this in one messy…

Review: She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

This was one of my favorite books that I read last year. One of the books I thought about enough to want to write a review on even though at that point I had nowhere to post it. As I'm revisiting what I wrote sometime last summer, I realized that this story is still very…

Unfinished Book Series: Which of these should I finish?

We all have them. Book series we started but never finished for all kinds of reasons. And while there are more than enough series that I simply do not have enough interest in to bother finishing them, there are others that I'm not as sure about. Why didn't I finish these series? Sometimes I wasn't…

April Wrap Up

Hiii, I'm back with another Wrap-Up, this time even a little early. April was honestly pretty great. And a little all over the place which is such a contrast to the past few months (years.....) that it feels weird, sometimes overwhelming and stressful but mostly nice. Because there are things going on that I'm excited…

Review: Work For It by Talia Hibbert

During the past year, I've become both a romance and a Talia Hibbert stan. Work for it is my favorite Talia Hibbert romance (so far… I have not read all of her books…. yet). I wrote the first draft of this review last summer after my first reread of this book, back when I still…

10 Things I’m looking forward to this Spring

I have a tiny list in my notes app with a few things happening in the next few weeks that I'm really excited about so that I don't forget them. And amongst the business of everyday life, especially during the semester, I don't wanna lose sight of all the things I'm looking forward to. So…

March Wrap Up: a weird reading month, life updates & random rants

Another month, another wrap up that once again has a slightly different structure because what is consistency. This month felt so long but at the same time I'm shocked that it's supposed to be April now (aaaand I'm writing this as it's snowing......). What I read I actually didn't read much this month. I mean,…

Audiobook tips for distracted people

People raving about the great reading experiences audiobooks give them and about how many books audiobooks allow them to read are everywhere. And I love the idea of that. But in practice, it's just not something I do a lot and sometimes, I feel like I get less out of a story if I listen…

Reading Haikyuu by Haruichi Furudate: Vol. 11-15 #Thoughts & Spoilers

I think I've mentioned it before.....several times..... but I love Haikyuu. I watched the anime first. It drew me in immediately, made me fall in love with its characters, its stories, the atmosphere, the storytelling and so much more! So of course, I have to read the manga, too. And since I have a lot…
