Book Review | #bestiemademe | Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim

06.28.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

June’s book for the #bestiemademe challenge is Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim.  Kari has also reviewed this book, and you can find that here.  She absolutely loved it, and honestly, this is another recommendation that she knocked out of the park.  I really, really had a good time reading this book and I ended up giving it 4 stars on Goodreads.

Ashley’s June TBR

06.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I’m so excited about June because Kari and I are hosting another round of The Loyal Book-a-Thon.  I really have a lot of fun planning these readathons with her, and I always have a lot of fun reading for them.  We try to keep them flexible and allow for doubling up of prompts and maximum flexibility.  People always have things going on and we don’t want it to be overwhelming.  I know for me that I will probably have less reading time than usual because as of today, I’ll have to start going back to work and being in the building part time during the week.  I’m excited to see my students, but it does mean less listening to audiobooks as I work through the day.

Ashley’s May Wrap Up

05.31.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

May marked another month of me working from home, so it meant that I listened to a lot of audiobooks again.  However, I also got to read some physical books, and I checked some of the beefier reads off my TBR.  Overall, it was a really good reading month and I felt like I really enjoyed a lot of the things that I read.  Everything that I read can be found below the cut!

Book Review | The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller

05.15.2020 by Kari // Leave a Comment

The fact that anyone can pass up a story that is described as a “Slytherin romance” is beyond me. Maybe it’s a guilty pleasure, but all I know is that it’s fun and enjoyable, and that’s all that matters.

I really enjoyed Daughter of the Pirate King. While Levenseller’s other books are on my ongoing TBR list, this book reminded me of how fun her writing is while simultaneously reminding me that I need to read her other two books as soon as possible!

Ashley’s April Wrap Up

05.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

This was a crazy reading month for me.  I felt really slumpy back in March and then had to transition into working from home.  I expected that I wouldn’t really get a lot of reading done this month despite participating in both the OWLs Magical Readathon and our Loyal Book-a-Thon.  I figured I’d read those, and that would be about it.  However, I ended up getting through a lot of books and finished off both readathons pretty early in the month.  Working from home meant that I could listen to audiobooks while working, and it’s made me a lot more efficient reader.  So I’m pretty proud of the fact that in April I read 34 books/novellas.  You’ll find everything I read below the cut. 🙂

Misc Monday | Fae Crate Thorns and All Hangover Recovery Crate Unboxing

03.09.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I was so excited when I found out about this box. A Court of Thorns and Roses is a really cool series and I enjoyed the world building and the characters. Lately a lot of my friends are reading this and it’s giving me a lot of need to reread it. I especially need to reread it after getting this box.

Ashley’s February TBR

02.01.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

It’s a Leap Year this year! It’s so weird to have this one little bonus day, and I’m kind of excited because it’s one more day of reading for me. I have a nice variety of books I’m planning on picking up this month. You’ll find them below the cut.

Ashley’s January Wrap Up

01.31.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I love the feeling of a fresh year of reading. There’s always so much anticipation when it comes to the new books I’ll pick up or even the old books that I’ll revisit.

I’m off to a good start when I comes to reading this year. In January I read 21 books, of a variety of qualities. One was pretty low in the rating departments, but one will be one of my favourites of the year.

You’ll find everything I read below the cut:

Tag Tuesday | 2019 A to Z Reading Challenge

12.24.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Before I got really into bookstagram and tags, I never knew there was such a thing as an A to Z challenge. I think it’s actually a pretty cool thing to do. I tried to do one last year, but I wasn’t super successful so I thought I would try again this year.
