We’ve seen the trends my past self was interested in, including so many zombie novels, and we’re not too far away from that in this week’sContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #39”

Top Ten Books on my Summer 2022 To-Read List
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.

There’s quite a few books I’mContinueContinue reading “Top Ten Books on my Summer 2022 To-Read List”
That Dreaded TBR #37
Another instalment of “Elle really needs to get the number on her Want to Read down”. Did you know Goodreads shelves get super buggy when you have too many books? Yeah, a long time ago, when I used to regularly check the recommendations because they were actually really good, I found something interesting: a bookContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #37”
Book Tag: Animal Crossing
I haven’t actually played Animal Crossing (whoops) but it looks cute and I know loads of folks have so much fun with this game.

Topic: 5* Vampire Books
I love vampire books. Of all different types, whether the vampires are good or bad guys, whether the book is Horror or Paranormal Romance or some blended combination of genres.
