so 2020 ain't starting in the greatest way, folks. I THINK I'M IN A READING SLUMP?! I AM ACTUALLY SO MAD AT MYSELF. I was on such a roll too - 2019 was the greatest freaking reading year ever, I think I can say with certainty. But I'm starting 2020 feeling so meh about every [...]
EDITING ALLIE HERE: So, I wrote this a few weeks ago, but I still wanted to post it because I kind of talk about uni stuff, mental health and all that jazz. ALSO, I know I’ve been super inactive on twitter and instagram as well as here - I had a major presentation for my [...]
I just felt like writing, so here I am. So, does anyone else feel like this year has kind of been a shitstorm? A hellscape? Because 2019, so far, has this hazy type of feel to it - as though I have been going about my days with a gauze wrapped around my eyes. An [...]
Well, g'day friends! 'Tis the season for readathons, isn't it? So, earlier this week I shared for you my TBR for the O.W.L's Magical Readathon that I'm participating in this July (as of this moment, I am reading my second-to-last book!) but I'm also participating in The Reading Rush which starts on Monday, 22nd of [...]

[...]
this poem is slightly cringe-worthy and i'm embarrassed to post it, only because I've been suffering severe writer's block where my poetry is concerned. if it lacks a bit of something, if the wording is off, know that this is raw and unedited. i wanted to showcase the difficulty of finding the write words to [...]
Well , g'day there friends. I've been tossing up whether or not to write this, only because I feel like I keep on bringing this up and it can get repetitive and annoying. But here we are! A few weeks ago I took a mini-hiatus from twitter and from my blog (the only posts that [...]
Worth the hype? EDIT: Bunked it down to a 2 star in the aftermath of speaking with a few people about this book, its problems and overall mediocrity. I am going to be completely honest with all of you, because this is a safe space, I wrote this review before knowing that the author enjoys [...]
I've always wondered why there is such a negative connotation towards book bloggers who get paid for reviews.
