I seriously have a problem. So far this month I've bought eleven books for myself, and my mom bought me one. I know that some people buy more in one sitting, but for me, that's a lot. Especially when I consider the fact that some of these books will sit on my bookshelf for anywhere … Continue reading October Book Haul

I've gotten better, thank God, but I'm nowhere … Continue reading Playlist: Songs for When You’re Mad or Annoyed
Five years ago, this blog came into existence. It's hard to believe that it's been five years already! There I was, sitting in the computer lab at a new school, when I got the idea to start a blog. I didn't have a real plan going into it - I just thought it'd be fun … Continue reading 5 Years of Blogging
I've mentioned Goodreads before, and I'll keep mentioning it because I love the website/app and will use it for the rest of my life (as long as it's still around).
