Two of my biggest reading goals involve reading the unread books that have been sitting on my shelves for years, and reading more diversely. I’ve found one of the best ways to motivate me to achieve these goals is through reading challenges! I’m a mood-reader, so I won’t share defined TBRs for each challenge (since I know I’m...
One of my biggest reading resolutions for 2021 (aside from not buying every shiny new release that catches my eye) is to read more of the books that I already own. I have so many books on my bookshelf that I purchased, intended to read, and just… never did. To keep myself motivated and accountable, I’m joining a...
In an effort to read more, and more diversely, I joined two reading challenges along with my usual Goodreads challenge. Since it’s halfway through the year now (even though it still feels like it’s April!), I thought now would be a good point to check in and see if I’m on track to meet these goals. I challenged...
I love contemporary romances. They’re sweet, feel-good reads that make me feel like a meet-cute could be just around the corner – the exact kind of energy I want to bring into 2020. There are so many new contemporary romance releases that I need to read, so what better way to chip away at my extensive TBR than...
I have a book-buying problem: I take home every book that has a gorgeous cover, and they often end up sitting on my bedside table, unread, as the pile continues to grow and grow. Two of my 2020 Reading Resolutions are to read more of the books that I actually own and to borrow books from the library...
Despite being a proud Canadian who loves both hockey and Tim Hortons, the number of Canadian books I have read is much lower than I’d like, both in terms of author and setting. As a result, I’ve decided to challenge myself to read more books by fellow Canadians since there’s just something so comforting about reading books that take place...
As someone who has always struggled with controlling their TBR pile and controlling their impulse to buy new books any time they enter a bookstore, it’s unsurprising that about 40% of the books that I own remain unread. One of my resolutions for this year was to read more of these titles, so what better way to do...
Mel at The Daily Prophecy is hosting a Fairytale Retelling Reading Challenge for the upcoming year, and even though I told myself that I wouldn’t participate in any reading challenges unless they helped me get through my ARC pile, I just couldn’t say no to this one! The challenge runs from January 1st – December 31st 2015. The...
Think about your favourite author for a minute. If you’re anything like me, the thought of reading their newest book fills you with a warm, fuzzy, excited feeling. Now, try to remember that feeling you got when you first picked up one of their books – and, more importantly, that feeling of awe when you finished reading it...
It’s the last day in August, which means it’s time for the final ARC August update! This month, I read the following ARCs. If you’re interested, you can click on the cover image to be taken to my review. I also read Powered by Cheyanne Young, which doesn’t have a cover image yet. My review will be posted...
