Books with Noel

Well, I am very sad to see October go, but now I can give you guys a monthly wrap-up! I hope you all had a wonderful month this autumn, and I can't wait to hear how yours went! Its finally colder, and I can live in my cozy sweaters when I'm not at either of my two jobs- which is very wonderful. Fireplace time with a cup of pumpkin spice coffee and a book, here I come! Into the Oven!  What goodies did I bake this month? The links will take you to the recipe as they are not mine! Pumpkin Bread Chocolate Chip Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies Cinnamon Rolls Snickerdoodle Cookies How's YouTube going? Aside from having a blog, I also happen to do BookTube!

It's finally October, it's finally fall time- that lovely time of the year where the leaves change colors and I can wear sweaters like no tomorrow (not like I don't do that regularly though...) and where I can drink Dunkin' Donuts Pumpkin Spice coffee! It's not a secret that I'm coffee-obsessed, so you can imagine how crazily happy I am that I can get my favorite coffee at one of my favorite times of the year now :) So this post will be spreading that Pumpkin-October-Fever ~ I personally have a hate/love relationship with pumpkins. I hate pumpkin pie but love pumpkin spice coffee, I love carving pumpkins, but I hate eating them. Anyone else have this problem? No? Just me? Oh well then.... Let's spice it up this season~ Some Pumpkin Spice recipes for you guys that I tried this past month!

   My Weekly Pull is something I'm going to be doing every Wednesday to show which anime or manga I had pulled for myself that week. My friend Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? hosts My Weekly Pull for comics that she has read or is reading so make sure to check her out because it was such a cool and fun idea I asked if I could do it for anime and manga (I don't get to read a lot of comics sadly)!                     ~                    ~                    ~                     ~                       ~ This week for Anime ....

My lovely friends! I know it hasn't been that long since I updated last, but I'm going insane so I'm taking a few minutes to update now before it turns into a two-week-long vacation *nervous laughter*. So as many of you know, I've been having a ARC-Reading-Month. I've received quite a few ARCs or review requests in the past month, and have been trying to pump out the reading time and reviews as quickly as I could. It hasn't been going well in case you were wondering. So lets have a ranting session, because those are always fun! So to de-stress, let me share with you A Tale of ARCs ! I finally finished Starfall by R. M. Anderson last month and got the review out (though I was running behind by like two weeks), so I'm just still surprised and happy with how that turned out. Before that though, there had been a few others that had also taken awhile and I'd been behind on as well. Orion's Awakening by L. C. M. Joseph was by far the...

My lovelies! I'm back again!! I have a second post for you guys this week on the blog, and this one is another special treat! This post is specifically for bookish things a book lover would want- which I discovered this week at Literary Book Gifts . I was away for a few days and when I was gone I received an email from the designer of Literary Book Gifts (I actually spit my coffee out when I saw it I was so surprised and excited)! So I'll be doing a little review for you guys of the designs and her website! CALLING ALL BOOK LOVERS!!! Here's the link to the lovely website: https://literarybookgifts.com/ And Melissa (the designer and creator) even made a special promo code for you guys!! BOOKSANDCAFFEINE20 which is good for 20% off anything in the store, no minimum, and does not expire! I tend to restrain myself when it comes to book merchandise because I know that I will make myself go broke. However, after being on the website for about five minutes...

* I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are completely my own. * So I have another review for you guys!
