Selfie Saturday | 2019 Resolutions Wrap Up

12.28.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I have mixed feelings about New Years Resolutions but I always seem to set them anyways. I don’t always have the best follow through, but I try to set some basic goals that I want to try and keep up. I set a lot of resolutions this past year, and I’m curious to see how I did with them before I set next years.

Top 5 Thursday | Ashley’s Most Disappointing of 2019

12.26.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

It’s hard to go into books with no expectations, as much as I try to.  I try to keep myself neutral but then I get my hopes up anyways.  However, sometimes when I get my hopes up, I get let down.  This year there were five books that disappointed me.  That doesn’t mean they were necessarily bad books, but I just wasn’t happy with how they turned out.  Below the cut you will find those five books.

Top 5 Thursday | Ashley’s Best Sequels of 2019

12.19.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Does anyone else have a problem with follow through? I do.  I fall in love with these series and then I need to have their sequels in my life and then I put off reading them.  I don’t know why I do this, but it just seems to be something that happens.  That being said, I did try my best to finish up some series I was reading and to continue one with some of the series I was reading.  This post is a highlight reel of my top 5 best sequels I read in 2019.

Misc Monday | 27th Year Wrap Up

12.02.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

When I turned 27 at the end of 2018, I wrote a post featuring 27 books I wanted to read.  That post can be found here.  On my half-birthday, I did an update, which you can find here.  This is my final update, because tomorrow I turn 28 and my 27th year has come to and end.  So let’s see how I did.  Which of the books that I hadn’t yet read at 27 and a half, have I now read? You’ll find out below the cut.

Ashley’s November Wrap Up

11.30.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I had a rather interesting reading month this month! I thought I was having a bad one where I hadn’t read very many books, but I ended up reading 16, which is pretty good in my opinion. I also read my longest book of the year this month, and did okay at catching up on some series that I had been procrastinating on. Find out what I read below the cut!

Misc Monday | Unboxing – Owl Crate’s Call Down the Hawk Box

11.25.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

One of my most anticipated reads this month, this year even, was Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater.  The Raven Cycle is one of my favourite series and when I caught the first hint of the upcoming Dreamer Trilogy, I was super excited.  I knew I had to read it and get my own copy.

Ashley’s October Wrap Up

10.31.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I love reading in October. As silly as it might sound, it gives me a good excuse to read spooky and creepy books and I am entirely here for it. They’re not always ones that I will pick up in the rest of the year, but I definitely indulged this month! I have to admit that I wasn’t amazing at sticking to my TBR for the month but I did end up reading 20 books and finally breaking 200 books read this month!
