Top Ten Tuesday was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This Week: Book Titles That Sound Like They Could Be Crayola Crayon Colors. This was SUCH a fun and unique prompt! I am obsessed! I had a lot of fun with this one. I actually wrote down 20 book titles and had to taper it down to 10. It's hard . . .
Top Ten Tuesday was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week's theme: Books I'd Gladly Throw Into the Ocean. I hate when I don't like a book. When I DNF, I don't write a review because I feel like I can't judge that book in its entirety since I didn't actually read the whole thing. When I do read the . . .
Too often we forget that we aren't alone in the world---that even though we all have our own unique experiences, there are people out there who probably went through something similar and can understand, to an extent, how you're feeling. I am guilty of this. I'm sure you are, too. It's something I have to be constantly reminded of. And this . . .
Kaz Brekker and his gang of Crows have just pulled off the most impossible heist---but the end bit didn't go as planned.

Not only does Kaz intend to save Inej, but he also plans to get . . .
The slums of Ketterdam are ruled by rivaling gangs. Kaz Brekker, frontman for one of those gangs, is approached about an impossible heist. Pull it off, and he'll be richer than he could ever have dreamed. Fail, and his head will probably be on a pike in Fjerda. Though Kaz is an intelligent thief, one with an affinity for schemes and quick escapes, he . . .
The Darkling rules Ravka with fear and shadows. The Sun Summoner, Alina, is nowhere to be found. She's been taken underground by the Apparat and her devout followers. But sunlight doesn't reach that far beneath the surface, and though Alina heals slowly from her showdown with the Darkling, she still feels weak without being able to call . . .
Good afternoon, fellow book readers! I don't know about you, but I love doing book tags and challenges, whether they're on a blog, or Instagram Reels, or TikTok -- they're so fun and random! I've participated in so many tags and challenges, but I've never created my own before. Until TODAY! One of my favorite activities, maybe once or . . .
Alina is the Sun Summoner. Hunted by the Darkling and his loyal Grisha, but renowned by people who think her a Saint risen from the dead. On their own, she and Mal don’t stand a chance. With the help of an infamous privateer and his crew, Alina is determined to control what’s left of the Second Army to defeat the Darkling once and for all. But to . . .
Alina Starkov is a nobody. An orphan. A mapmaker in the First Army. A skinny girl who’s not really good at much of anything. But when she’s forced into the Shadow Fold, a stretch of land covered in darkness and crawling with horrible monsters, she unleashes a dormant power to save her closest friend. She’s a Grisha, a magical being, and one . . .
So I’m a little late with this 2020 recap post, but I hope you all enjoy it nonetheless. I mean, 2020 was only a couple months ago, so it’s fine, right?
