What I’m Watching

Okay, can we all take a moment to acknowledge the power that is Chandler Ainsley. This video (actually videos) is the most unique and dedicated thing I’ve seen come out of Booktube. If you haven’t seen this, go now. It’s flippin’ fantastic.


Top Three

  1. Okay shameless self promotion. I’m really proud of (and crazy nervous about) the new Tarot Card Recommendation series. It honestly takes forever to setup, film, and write but it’s probably the coolest thing I’ve done so far with my blog/Bookstagram.
  2. I impulse purchased an espresso machine to quench my intense latte cravings and I have zero regrets👌🏻
  3. I officially completed my entire OWLs TBR this week! Good thing we also have the Reading Rush, Smutathon, and Romanceopoly readathon to carry us through the rest of April 😅 If you saw my ARC post, I also desperately need to spend some time reading late arcs…

How was your week?!

    I see everyone doing these Dalgona Coffees on IG – I feel like I’m missing out, lol. Love your Tarot Card Recommendation series – it’s unique and original. And isn’t it the BEST time for all the readathon’s and challenges? I’m starting a NetGalley readathon tomorrow. 😀

      Thank you so much ❤️ This is actually just an iced latte! Quarantine got to me and I bought an espresso machine. I’m way too lazy to whip coffee grounds for that long 😂😂😂 And I didn’t know Netgalley was doing one! I’m going to check it out right now!!

        The NetGalley Readathon is hosted by two fellow bloggers, I’ll link my blog post below. It’s just the excuse and incentive I needed to check off a couple ARCs from my tbr.

      It’s one of those books that’s been on my TBR forever! I’m finding it a little hard to get into but I’ve heard it’s amazing and that I just need to push through this intro part. So fingers crossed!

    How are you finding The Secret History? I’ve read The Goldfinch and thought it was great! Hope you have a good week next week!

      I haven’t picked it up in like 2 weeks 😅😅 I put it down to focus on my readathon TBR and haven’t picked it back up. I’m going to try again this week though! I’ve heard it’s amazing and that I just need to push through this intro part.

      Yes!! I have no idea how she comes up with such cool ideas!
      And that’s awesome!! Almost there with lots of time left 🙌 I only went for 8 because I wasn’t sure how things would go. But I’ve been a reading machine this month 😂
