It’s April, and that means it’s time to update you all on my Clearing The Hoard – Bookwyrm Challenge! I ended up reading The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg, and I have to admit that I wasn’t a fan. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t as amazing as everyone has made it out to be. Maybe it’s because I’m 30 or that I’m not a massive fan of the Christmas season, but this one was a dud to me. In the end, I gave it three caffeinated stars. It was just a meh to me. I decided that I was going to give away my copy, and my sister claimed my autographed copy! She will be the proud owner of The Polar Express, and I’ll have a bit of free space to add another autographed book!
It’s March, and that means it’s time to update you all on my Clearing The Hoard – Bookwyrm Challenge! I ended up reading Royal Elves by Misty D. Billman. I ran out of time, and I knew that there was no way I would be able to finish Persepolis while babysitting, so during nap time, I read Royal Elves. Unfortunately, I wasn’t that impressed. I didn’t feel connected to the characters, found some spelling errors, and almost DNF’d it in the first 20 pages. I ended up giving it two caffeinated stars because I enjoyed the plot.
We all love social media, so this prompt was a lot of fun to think about. I have to say it was a tough one for me to answer. I typically follow bookish accounts, so that would mean I would automatically follow and love every single bookish person. I use social media so that I can find new books, talk bookish things, and share my love of all things book related. Though I’m a book nerd and would list every single book lover I have read about, I decided to go with a list of characters that would be more of the outliers on my feed.
The prompt this week is from Deanna @ A Novel Glimpse “The Last Ten Books That Gave Me a Book Hangover.” I like most (if not all) book lovers have experienced a book hangover. I honestly don’t experience the book hangover too much, so I’m making a list of the books I can remember giving me a book hangover.
For me, a book hangover happens in one of two ways. The first way is when I loved a book so much I can’t possibly think of reading another book. The second way is when a book affects me so profoundly, I have a bit of numbness afterward. Sometimes, it’s a little bit of both. The list I came up with is filled with both types of books.
It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday used to be hosted over on The Broke and the Bookish but moved over to That Artsy Reader Girl. As described on The Artsy Reader Girl’s blog, “It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.” This description is right up my alley, and I hope you all enjoy this tag as much as I do!
The prompt this week was “Love Freebie,” so I figured that I would take this freebie opportunity to share some of my favorite romances that I have read. There is a little bit of everything on this list. I hope that you will find something that will spark interest.
TThis week’s prompt is Books on my TBR that I predict will be 5-Star Reads! As you all know, through my #ClearingTheHoard Bookwyrm Challenge I have quite a few physical books on my TBR, so I’m going to focus on them! I have picked out 10 books that I genuinely hope will be 5-Star Reads!
Well, month one of Clearing The Hoard Bookwyrm Challenge was a success! Out of the three books I pulled from my TBR jar, I decided to read Into The Woods. I enjoyed the book, but I decided that it’s time for this book to find a new owner. I enjoyed the script, but I know that I’m never going to reread the script.
My first post with all of my data was posted on December 5th. I figured I would update everyone on what has been added and removed from my shelves since then.
This week’s prompt is Book Cover Freebie! That means that I get to pick whatever kind of covers I want to. Ever since I was a young girl, I LOVED crowns & tiaras. There is just something about them that draws me in, and I can’t help but love them. Naturally, when I read this week’s book cover freebie prompt, I knew I needed to pick book covers with crowns.
Danni tagged me over on _ForBooksSake in The TBR Book Tag, and I am honestly a little scared to answer these questions because it will force me to look into the void that I call my TBR. 2020 is all about doing things that scare me, so join me as I stare into the void and try not to drown in the infinite piles of books that stare back. Psst. Give her blog a follow. She’s AWESOME!

Okay, real talk here… I have a book buying problem. This year I’ve been This week’s prompt is The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Bookshelf, and I have to admit, I have a book buying problem.
