Books with Noel

    I'm taking a big, deep breath and exhaling.     It's been quite a long and busy minute since I last posted regularly. It's so so nice and actually relaxing to write here again!     January brought me a beautiful cold front so I took advantage of my (usually unused) fireplace to read in the evenings. 😍 I took some more bookish pictures to share the cozy vibes as well!   As some of you know, I've been cleaning my bookshelves and was debating letting several books go..... call it an intense spring cleaning. So I've been hosting some giveaways and finally cleaning out my TBR Mountain as well as books I've had too long and will probably never actually get around to reading 😬.   Though I also managed to get rid of several books I finally tried and hated with a burning passion, so that was nice!   How has your reading been doing? Have you set any goals and how are they going?? I only set two reading goals for 2020:...

It's been a while loves!  I've posted a book tour or a book review once in a while, but that's been it for a bit... for those of you wondering why I moved last weekend and have been settling in!  Now I'm having to get used to busier mornings, and sometimes busy evenings as well- my schedule is definitely getting fuller. 😅 How have you all been doing?? I've been stopping by to check your posts when I can also please keep Grace 's family in your prayers, for those who don't know she was a lovely and kind blogger who passed away recently. I figured I'd share some things to keep you guys updated! 💛 It seems I've been liking the letter ''R'' lately... I've been re-reading quite a bit this year, and I made plans to re-read some more books soon as well!  - Enchanted Forest by Emory R. Frie (the next in the series is out, so I need to recap) - Lovestruck by Kate Watson (this one isn't technically as re-read ...

Keep It or Ditch It? is a meme I do on the blog once a month, where I show some books that have been in my ''TBR Mountain''  for a while, and you guys decide if I should a) Keep It or b) Ditch It Variant by Robison Wells About: Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life. He was wrong. Now he’s trapped in a school that’s surrounded by a razor-wire fence. A school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there are no adults. Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive. Where breaking the rules equals death. But when Benson stumbles upon the school’s real secret, he realizes that playing by the rules could spell a fate worse than death and that escape—his only real hope for survival—may be impossible.   This one I bought a paperback copy of when at a thrift store a few years back, and still have yet to actually read it, much less start it!   I picked it up beca...

It's officially the end of June and the start of July!! How was the past month for you guys?? I, for one, am going insane!   Between juggling work and the blog (and reading and writing time), I'm trying to get everything prepared for when I move in August. I'm trying to transfer my job to the area I'll be in, I'm trying to get my classes set up while I'm over there, and I'm trying to find a new car as well that can make the journey easier to visit my family when I can. *sighs* Insane is an understatement. What was on the BookTube?? I try to do one bookish video a week, but sometimes I don't have the time to edit the videos 😅 So here's what I did get out in the month of June!! May's Wrap Up!!
