#5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook and you can learn more about it here. It occurs every Monday when we post about 5 books on our TBR.

Book Review: The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
Format: ebookPublished: October 13th, 2020Age: AdultGenre: Historical FantasyGoodreads Rating: 3/5 Stars I really wanted to like this one.

Book Casting: Dan Stevens
It has been a long, long time since I did one of these posts, despite the fact I find them generally really fun. But I recently finished (finally) watching Downton Abbey, and despite (please note spoilers for Downton Abbey coming up!) Stevens’ abrupt departure from the show, he honestly was fantastic in it. Through hisContinueContinue reading “Book Casting: Dan Stevens”
Top Ten Tuesday: May Flowers
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This was fun! And such a great prompt, giving aContinueContinue reading “Top Ten Tuesday: May Flowers”
