Hey guys! So I thought it would be fun to make a list of 20 books I’d like to read in 2020. These are all books that either I own or I have an e-arc of that I never ended up getting to. I have a lot of books on my shelf and I want to focus on reading those. Yes there are a lot of other books I want to read as well. I just want to make some room on my shelves for new books. So let’s dive in and see what the 20 books are! Continue reading “20 Books I’d Like to Read in 2020”

Blogmas Day 13: Books I Didn’t Get To In 2018
Hey guys! I can’t get over how fast 2018 came. I honestly am really happy with how this year went. I have to say I feel my reading was off a little bit. I found myself not enjoying a lot of books. I feel I gave a lot of 3 stars. Goodreads says my average rating is 3.5. I am also sad because there were a lot of books I really wanted to get to but didn’t. So today I thought I’d share with you some of the books I was really excited for but didn’t end up picking up. So let’s dive in! Continue reading “Blogmas Day 13: Books I Didn’t Get To In 2018”
Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag
Wow I honestly can’t believe we have little over a week left of June. I find that so crazy. It feels like just yesterday that I was anxiously waiting for Bookcon to get here. Bookcon came and went and so did the rest of June. I have to say I am pretty excited because I have a vacation coming up in July but I do wish things would just slow down a little bit.
So I have been seeing a lot of people doing this mid-year freak out tag. It was created on youtube Chami & Ely. I thought it would be really fun to do. Yes I am freaking out a little bit but I’d like to share with you guys my reading experience so far for half of 2018. I am interested to see how I feel at the end of the year. So let’s dive in!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books to Read By the Pool/At the Beach
Hey guys!!! It’s time again for another Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is, Books to Read By the Pool/At the Beach (This can also serve as your summer TBR). I am doing this post more as a summer TBR. I am not a huge fan of the beach and if I’m by a pool I will mostly be in it lol. So let’s dive in. (I wish I was diving into a pool right now tbh.) Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday: Books to Read By the Pool/At the Beach”
May Book Haul
Hey guys! So May ended up being a pretty big haul month for me and that’s why I put this off for such a good amount of time. I honestly wasn’t expecting to get this many books. I ended up winning a thriller giveaway, made some trades, had a friend send me some books and also I attended Blogbound Con. So my pile of books has increased greatly. I can’t wait to get to all these books. So let’s dive in and see what I got. Continue reading “May Book Haul”
Down The TBR Hole #35
Hey guys! It’s time for another Down the TBR Hole which was created by Lia @Lost In A Story! I’m almost under 600 books which is such an exciting feeling. Hopefully sometime in this month. So let’s dive in!
- Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
- Order on ascending date added.
- Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
- Read the synopses of the books
- Decide: keep it or should it go?
The fact that I will be repeating this process every week means that I have to keep track of where I ended and where I’m going to continue. E.g. in week one I do book 1 – 5, in week two book 6 – 10, and so on, until I’ve filtered out my entire TBR.
Down The TBR Hole #25
Hey guys! It’s time for another Down the TBR Hole which was created by Lia @Lost In A Story! I am doing this post early because I want to make sure I have plenty of time for Thrillerathon. It’s a readathon that has been happening since Saturday the 17th. Anyway, last Down The TBR was really good. I got rid of 6 books. Let’s hope this one is just as good.

Top Ten Tuesday: Mother’s Day Freebie
Hey guys! So it’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday hosted by the lovely The Broke and the bookish. I am excited for this one because this one is one I can choose but has to do with mother’s. I decided it would be fun to go through some of the books I’ve read and try to pick out which ones I would buy for my Mom. My mom does like to read. I feel she’s more into romance books than I am. I am happy to say I did get her into Outlander even though I haven’t read the books. I know she’s been enjoying though so I’m excited to make this list. Her birthday is in July so maybe I can buy her a few of these books and update you guys on how it ended up going. Alright let’s dive in!
Ten Books I Would Buy For My Mom
And Then There Were None By Agatha Christie
Reason: Okay so if you guys haven’t already noticed this is one of my favorite books. It’s such a classic and I feel everyone should check it out. I think I also really enjoy it so much is because it’s a classic that I actually really enjoy. I’ve tried reading a couple of classics and just felt they weren’t for me. I feel since it’s such a famous novel that this is something my Mom should read.
Reason: Okay so everyone knows Gone Girl but that was the one Gillian Flynn book it took me a couple times to read to get into it. Dark Places was the first book I read by Gillian and I really really enjoyed. I was hooked right away and completely surprised by the ending. I would love to get my mom into Gillian Flynn books.
Thirteen Reasons Why By Jay Asher
Reason: So my Mom just told me she just finished watching Thirteen Reasons Why on Netflix. Now I’m pretty sure she hasn’t read the book yet. I don’t think she really reads Young Adult books. I can see her being into them. She said she really enjoyed the show so I feel she should read the book now.
The Night Circus By Erin Morgenstern
Reason: So The Night Circus was a book I ended up reading this year and really enjoyed. It was such a fun and magical experience that I feel my Mom needs to give this book a try. The writing is so visually stunning that I felt like I was actually there. I was so upset that this wasn’t actually a real thing. I feel this is something she would really enjoy as well.
The Unexpected Everything By Morgan Matson
Reason: Right now this is my favorite Morgan Matson book. I do plan on reading the 2 I haven’t yet this month so that may change. I think this is such a fun contemporary book that I can see my Mom really enjoying. It’s a cute read and I feel it’s such a enjoyable summer read. Plus her birthday is in the summer so this could be a possible gift.
Reason: So this was a super hyped up book that got turned into a movie last year. I can see this being something my Mom would like. She does like her romance books. I’m not sure if she saw the movie but I feel this would be the perfect gift because I could buy her the book and the movie. I’m a big fan of books to movies so this is something I would try to get my Mom into as well. Plus if she likes it I could always buy her the second book later on. I did think the second one was a bit better.
Big Little Lies By Liane Moriarty
Reason: I’m surprised this book didn’t come to me sooner. This book’s television show just ended a couple weeks ago. I would totally buy her the book and the dvds since my Mom doesn’t have HBO. I really enjoyed both the book and television show a lot. I loved the writing and overall really enjoyed the story.
Something Borrowed By Emily Giffin
Reason: This is a book that I really enjoyed even though I feel the story is so messed up. This is bad like hooking up with your friend’s fiance bad. I somehow really enjoyed it. I did find this book to be a roller coaster of emotions. I think my Mom would like this for the romance. This is also another book that got turned into a movie. It’s a shame that this book has a cute story but is also soooo messed up. I really want to watch the movie again now.
13 Little Blue Envelopes By Maureen Johnson
Reason: This is such a cute story. It’s about a girl whose aunt has died and has left behind 13 little blue envelopes. The envelopes send her traveling on this amazing trip around the world. This is another Young Adult book but I know my Mom loves to travel so I can see her enjoying this just alone from the places gone in this book.
Reason: Okay so I had to put this book on the list because this is probably my favorite Roald Dahl book. I loved it even more seeing it come to life on the big screen. This was such a fun book that I really enjoyed a lot. I don’t think my Mom has ever read it and I think it’s too cute that you can’t help but love it.
I highly recommend these books for your Moms as well. These are all books I enjoyed and would love to reread even at some point. Do you see any books you would buy for your Mom? If not, what are some of the books you would buy for your Mom? I would love to hear what you guys have to say.
February Wrap-up
Hey guys so it’s that time of the month again where I do my monthly wrap-up. I decided I was going to do a theme for the month. The theme I picked was love. I picked books that had to do with love and books in the genre that I love which is mystery/thriller. I had two extra books I wanted to read but I got distracted by a new video game so I spent some days playing that. Continue reading “February Wrap-up”
