I read The Vegetarian a few years ago and yeah it took me a lot longer than I expected to read it. I knew going in it was classified as "horror" and I am not usually a big horror fan but I was intrigued enough to give it a try. I'm still not totally sure how I feel about it, but I do love Han...

Me! I currently have 3 going I think, but I just randomly found myself at the bookstore yesterday and picked up a few things I'm eager to start so that number might increase...

Hey guys! I finally finished a book! This was another one I picked out because I liked the cover, it's a book of essays (both personal and research-based) about the author and Florida. There were a few essays that really grabbed me. I loved the first one where she talks about her old best...

I am being antisocial and avoiding the sports ball game...

I have the ebook for this, but I have been intimidated to read it because I am a person that gets stressed out stopping in the middle of a chapter, also it's super long. But this sounds really interesting so I might need to work up the courage to read it sooner rather than later!

I haven't had much time to read the last few days, it doesn't help that I've started 3 different books at once. Hopefully I'll get through one of them this week! My favorite of the three so far is Swing Time by Zadie Smith. This is my first of her books so if I like it I will probably pick up...

I'm up to 5 so far this year (and one audiobook I gave up on because I wasn't enjoying it). A few days ago I finished Pizza Girl by Jean Kyoung Frazier: Amazing cover aside, I really enjoyed this book. It's about a pregnant teenager who feels lost in life and becomes obsessed with a woman who...

My favorite of his that I've read so far was A Wild Sheep Chase. It's technically the third book in a series but there's almost no connection between it and the first 2 books except for a reoccurring character and a few quick references so it can be read as a standalone. It's less weird than...

I finally finished Know My Name by Chanel Miller. It was heartbreakingly fantastic... but as someone who is usually fine reading about difficult topics... this one hurt me. I need to pick up something lighter now I think... but I am also enjoying all the poetry recommendations. My personal...

This was one of my favorite books as a kid. I've been thinking about doing a reread of the series as I never got to read any of the others.

Yesterday I finished a book called Followers by Megan Angelo. It was a dystopian novel about internet/influencer culture and also about mass surveillance... it was okay but definitely not my favorite, I'd probably rate it a 2.5/5. Now I am reading Know My Name by Chanel Miller and... Ooof. It's...

I've read A Little Life, I personally loved it but it's very polarizing. I also read Susanna Clarke and Lauren Groff for the first time last year, Piranesi was one of my favorites of the year!

I set my official Goodreads goal this year to 52, so one book a week. Last year I read 79 total so that is definitely doable but I have some longer ones on my list this year that I hope to get to. Last year, I set out to read all of Dickens's novels in chronological order, so next up I have...

Just impulse-bought tickets for Iron & Wine/Andrew Bird in July! So excited!
