Top 5 Thursday | Ashley’s Worst of 2019

01.09.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I am someone who is rather easy to please when it comes to books.  I often fall in love with the books that I read, and it’s not very often that I find a book that I don’t like or even a book that I rate lower than a three stars.  I always try to find something redeeming, and maybe that’s a bad thing, but it’s just the kind of reader that I am.  I tend to fall deeply into whatever book I’m reading.  However, I can’t say that every book I read in 2019 was a positive experience for me.  Below the cut, you will find the five worst books I read in 2019.

Misc Monday | 2020 Reading Resolutions

01.06.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Another year and another year of reading! There’s something about a fresh start and a new year that just makes me really excited! So because 2020 is here, I decided to set a new batch of reading resolutions. Well, they are somewhat similar to last years, but personally I don’t mind that so much.

Shelfie Sunday | Unboxing – OwlCrate December Box

01.05.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

OwlCrate has been by my side for a most of the time that I’ve been really active in the bookish online community. It’s the subscription service that I get every month and I’m always so excited about it. To be clear, I purchase this every month and this is not an ad.

Selfie Saturday | 2020 New Years Resolutions

01.04.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

In 2019, I tried to do too much when it came to my resolutions. I had too many because I was trying to fill up a page in my bullet journal. This year I fine tuned and narrowed it down. I didn’t want to overwhelm myself to the point where I didn’t have any motivation to do anything. This year I set seven resolutions and you’ll find them below the cut

Ashley’s December Wrap Up

12.31.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

How is it the end of the year already? I can’t believe we’re about to start a brand new decade. This past month I read 18 books, which is pretty exciting because I officially beat my record of books read this year by reading 235! I also participated in the winter session of the Magical Readathon, which was definitely fun. I have a few books at the beginning of January to finish it up. You’ll find everything I read this month below the cut.

Misc Monday | 2019 Reading Resolutions Wrap Up

12.30.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

As I read so much, it makes sense for me to set some specific resolutions for my reading. I think I set just about as many reading resolutions as personal ones. Was I more successful in the reading ones? Well, you’ll have to see for yourself below the cut.

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.
