This is going to be brief. It’s been a pretty crazy two months, which makes me wonder what the rest of the year will be like… Thus, this unfortunately means I haven’t done nearly as much reading as I’ve wanted. And remember, as always, SPOILERS! Everless by Sara Holland This book enchanted me for a simultaneously brief but lengthened twenty-four hours. The premise of the entire novel is fascinating. In an alternate historical fantasy world, currency is time which through alchemy has ...

My Brilliant Mess
Let me tell you about my day... So I bought a filing cabinet to organise my amassing stacks of papers, trying to be an organised adult. I don't have room for a desk, so it's kind of replacing that piece of furniture I just gave to my sister.

What’s on My Shelf: November-December
Well, I've finally finished the last book on my list. That means it must be time for another post! The past two months I've been reading a lot more than just the ones I'll list.

Why? Well, before I can tell you the specifics of this ...
What’s on my Shelf: September-October
Obviously, it’s been a while. I’ve basically got two, almost three, months’ worth of reading material to update y’all on. However, in my defense, one of these months (or at least 4 weeks between September and October) were the High Holy Days, and I didn’t spend time reading much outside my liturgy. Regardless, I have done quite a bit of reading, and I need to just get this over with. This time, however, I will try to be a spoiler-free as possible. The Tropic of Serpents by Marie ...
