Hello! Despite traveling for a wedding, I actually was able to read a decent amount of books in January. As a kid, I used to despise January. It was the month where I took down my Christmas decorations and had to go back to school after spending winter break at home. Now at 25, I've [...]
I apologize for how late I’m uploading this (better late than never?), but I still wanted to share my favorite reads from 2021. I hope you guys enjoy this post and make sure to comment down below if you’ve read some of the books! I will be separating the books into different categories according to [...]
Today's episode is the first of a new series on the podcast. I created it to help anyone who is interested in exploring classic lit but doesn't know where to start. Emma is one of my favorite novels and actually one of my top books of 2021! In this episode I break down the most [...]
After traveling for almost the entire summer, I'm happy to be settling back into a routine...which means updating you guys on the books I've been reading! I didn't read that many books these past few months but I'm really excited about today's review. If you've been following my blog for awhile you'll know that I [...]
Today's review is another thriller and I actually heard about it from booksandlala on Youtube! You can click here to find her channel. I love her recommendation videos and My Lovely Wife happened to be featured in one of them. Samantha Downing's writing really hooked me into the story, and I have to admit I [...]
Today's review is the first thriller on the blog! I personally think thrillers are fun to read because of the anticipation. I tend to finish these novels in a day or so which is why I purposefully read them in between longer fantasy novels as a buffer. My sister actually told me about the Big [...]
It's been awhile since I've posted a review on here and I hope you all are ready for a change in scenery! If you've been my readers for awhile you will know that I started off as a thriller reader when I first discovered bookstagram/blogs/etc. Since joining Goodreads in 2015 I have changed genres and [...]
Today's post is dedicated to my amazing mom. As an avid reader and aspiring author, I have been asked numerous times how I came to love literature. My mom has to be one of the top reasons I have such a strong passion for reading. Growing up my mom was always reading. She would borrow [...]
I hope you all are staying safe out there! Today's review will be for my first adult fantasy, Sarah J. Maas's House of Earth and Blood! I loved this book from the beginning to the end and I'm really excited to share my thoughts with you all. I do want to preface that this book [...]
Over the past couple of months, I have seen so many people talking about this book. I've seen some people rave about and it and others say it missed the mark. I wanted to see for myself what the hype was around Addie La Rue and here we are with today's review! Make sure to [...]
I can't believe it's already April! 2021 seems to be flying by and I am already making preparations for this summer. Today's review is an exciting one...I have been a big fan of pirate stories and this one came highly recommended after finishing Fable by Adrienne Young. Tricia Levenseller's Daughter of the Pirate King is [...]
Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share the second episode of the Books & Matcha podcast with you all. I had the pleasure of having one of my dear friends be the first official special guest! In this episode we talk everything Pride and Prejudice and I honestly had so much fun recording this [...]
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe! Today's book review is the third book in the ACOTAR(A Court of Thorns and Roses) series by Sarah J. Maas: A Court of Wings and Ruin! As always I will separate my review into the usual sections: Initial Thoughts, Favorite Elements, Overall Thoughts. I will also [...]
I can't even tell you excited I am to be writing this review. Fable was is probably joining a the list of the best books I've read in 2021 so far. Adrienne Young's writing is so exquisite and I found myself quickly becoming lost as I dived into the story. Click the link below to [...]
It's been awhile since I've done a review on here, and you will see why that is with today's post. I finished the second book in the ACOTAR(A Court of Thorns and Roses) series over the weekend and when I tell you it gave me a gigantic book hangover...I am not exaggerating. Sarah J. Maas's [...]

I hope you spread kindness, positivity, and of course all things bookish through every episode. You can listen to the first [...]
I've been seeing a lot of commotion being made about certain books on "booktok" and "bookstagram" so I thought I'd add a few titles that interested me to my TBR. The first one on this list is The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. You can grab a copy of the book here I have seen [...]
I am so excited to start this series. Ever since I joined a Jane Austen Book club last August, I have become such a big fan of Jane Austen's writing. Emma is actually the 3rd book we read, but I will be discussing it first since it's still fresh in my mind. You can grab [...]
Today's review is one I'm very excited about. I went into Circe by Madeline Miller with no expectations- I avoided reviews from Booktube/Bookstagram in order to have a fresh perspective of the novel. I couldn't thank my past self more once I finished it. This book was made of myths that are not unknown to [...]
After staying up all last night to finish the first book in the ACOTAR series by Sarah J. Mass , I had to post my review to share my thoughts! Let me tell you this book was a whirlwind...at first I almost thought I was going to DNF because I wasn't into the first few [...]
If you're a fan of thrillers and YA romances you'll definitely like today's review. I read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin in early January and will be reading the sequel shortly. I have mixed emotions about the first book in this series which I will explain in this review. Hope you guys [...]
I can't believe today is the last day of January! Today I wanted to share what I read this month. There won't be any in depth reviews since I plan on having seperate posts for each one, but I thought this would be fun to keep track of what I read every month. My favorite [...]

Check out their website here if you're interested. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/739645938801111836/ 'The Survivors' is the first novel I have read by Jane Harper, [...]
For someone who has spent years writing to strangers on the internet, you'd think I've grown accustomed to introductions...but they still prove to be arduous even after all this time. What is an introduction? The definition can certainly be different for many people. I like to think of introductions as warm, quite like a cup [...]
