Ashley’s February Haul

02.29.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

February has been an interesting month, but somewhat light on book purchasing for me. Other than my OwlCrate, I didn’t technically buy any books this month. My order from Amazon that came in was full of pre-orders and things purchased previously. I did buy some books for my classroom library through this cool event hosted by my school district, but I didn’t specifically pay for those. So like I said, an interesting month. Everything I got is listed below the cut.

January’s OwlCrate

This past month’s OwlCrate was pretty great. I had heard nothing about the book, but the collection of items in the box was really great!

Ashley’s February TBR

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:

Ashley’s January Haul

01.30.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment



This is another year where I set a resolution to read more of what I already own and to buy less books. However, I have to admit that I’m not doing so well on that resolution this far. There’s still time to get better at it…but we’ll see how it goes.

You’ll find everything I got in January below the cut:

Shelfie Sunday | Unboxing – LitJoy Magical Edition 7.1

01.19.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

One of my favourite box discoveries this year has been the LitJoy Crate Magical Editions. Harry Potter is one of the great loves of my lives and I will always love items related to the books. I’ve tried a few different Harry Potter subscription boxes and this is one of the best I’ve found despite it not being a monthly subscription.

Shelfie Sunday | Unboxing – Fae Crate Wicked Nothings Mini Hangover Kit

01.12.2020 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

One of my favourite series of this year was The Cruel Prince series. I loved and hated the characters. I loved the books. I was SO excited when I heard that Queen of Nothing was being published earlier than anticipated because the ending of The Wicked King had me angsting for the next book.
