Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2019 + Some Non-Bookish Things

I know I say this every year, but this really is one of my favorite posts of the year. What book blogger doesn't love talking about their favorite books??? I was afraid I might not find as many great books as usual this year since I wasn't able to read as many, but it turns out I went for quality over quantity because I still found so many amazing ones. So here are my top ten top eleven favorites...

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read in 2019

Characters are the heart of books for me, so, as usual at this time every year, it's time for me to talk about my favorites! The way authors can create entirely new people and make them feel real is always incredible, but there are some characters that stand out more than others, whether it's because they're so relatable or unique or interesting or sweet, and these are my favorites (which may...

Update: Life and Books (July/August 2019)

Technically, I'm not back from my hiatus yet, but, well, I'll explain. I've been having this problem with some of the muscles in my face, kinda like an RSI, but it gets worse and gives me bad headaches whenever I do anything that causes a lot of eye motion or anything that causes the muscles to move. So pretty much everything, but especially reading, using the computer (which includes...

Book Review: Sins of the Son (Arcadia Trust Book 3) by Christian Baines

After the events of the last book, Reylan is unhappy and just wants to make his life go back to being as close to normal as possible, but the sudden attacks by members of the Scimitar make that difficult.

Update: Life and Books (June 2019)

June is over! (Well, I just realized this is posting on the 30th, but close enough.) I don't know why I said that so excitedly. I don't have anything against June or any special affinity for July. But anyway, I did more art! I was unexpectedly inspired by the #Junicorn tag on Twitter and ended up drawing two half-unicorns. I think my dancing half-unicorn (with Vitiligo, in case anyone doesn't...

Book Recs: 10 Lesser-Known M/M Vampire Books

That's right, it's me, your friendly neighborhood vampire-loving book blogger, back with another post full of vampire book recommendations! Here's my previous post, if you'd like to see it. This time, it's all about the M/M* ones. *Many of these are more urban fantasy than strictly romance, but they all have m/m romance as part of their story. I admit it's been a while since I've read some...

Book Review: The Orchard of Flesh (Arcadia Trust Book 2) by Christian Baines

Despite the werewolf problems of the last book being over, Reylan's formerly simple life as a vampire has been turned upside down now that he has a werewolf lover, a human in his thrall (aka a mannequin), and a newfound semi-alliance with the Arcadia Trust. But when humans start disappearing and mannequins start becoming crazed, not only does it does it stir up politics between two supernatural...

Book Review: The Beast Without (Arcadia Trust Book 1) by Christian Baines

One night while walking home from a club, the vampire Reylan and his soon-to-be meal are attacked by a newly changed werewolf named Jorgas, and Reylan's human companion is killed. But a wild werewolf out killing humans is unacceptable and puts all the supernaturals risk, so Reylan agrees to help bring Jorgas in to the Arcardia Trust. Except vampires are asexual creatures and being both fascinated...

The Weekly Update: 9/25/16

Alright, last week I mentioned cinnamon brooms because, drumroll please... I gots myself a cinnamon broom and I'm all excited about it! I also promised you a story though, so here it is. Cinnamon is probably my favorite scent. I just LOVE it. (I also like to eat it, but that's not the point right now.) So for years growing up I begged my mother every holiday season to buy a cinnamon broom, but...
