Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag | ft. How on earth are we already halfway through this crazy year?

Published on June 29, 2020June 29, 2020 by Aria19 Comments

Hello! I guess it’s time for me to do this tag? I was going to do it on June first, but then I forgot about it and was busy and here we are 20-something days later and I’m finally doing it. I was tagged for this by two wonderful bloggers: Kay @ Hammock of Books and Jane @ Blogger Books! Both of their blogs are wonderful and you should go over right now because both of them have wonderful bookish content!

Also, as Kay put it, this tag is like one giant game of telephone and it honestly is. Kay and Jane both did slightly different versions, but overall it’s the same. So, I answered 15 questions about books and stuff, so here they are!

Before I get into the questions though, here’s an update on my Goodreads challenge:

I am 18 books ahead, which I’m really happy about!! I guess that’s what months and months of social distancing gets you.

Hello! Last week, this week, the past seven days (whatever you want to call it) I reread the Heroes of Olympus series. It was a good thing that I did that, because I honestly forgot most of the stuff that happened (oops). I did, however, take a few pictures of some quotes and funny moments that I liked, so here they are:

Rereading all of the Percy Jackson books in a day | no I’m not crazy, I just love books

Published on June 19, 2020June 20, 2020 by Aria13 Comments

Hello everyone! I’ve been reading quite a bit in the last week, and I was even planning on ~~doing~~ attempting a 24 hour readathon on Tuesday. However, I woke up late, and was really tired, so I went back to sleep and ended up sleeping for another hour! When I woke up again, I didn’t really feel like reading for a full 24 hours, so I figured, why not just reread the whole Percy Jackson series. (‘Cause I’m logical that way.) Anyways, it took me about 12 hours, but I read all five books, which was honestly really fun! Anyways, below I’ve written my favorite parts of each book, and then attached some pictures of quotes I enjoyed. I also put in some pictures of my pets who visited me throughout the day! Happy reading!

Published on June 15, 2020June 15, 2020 by Aria2 Comments

Hello! I finished reading this book earlier today, and immediately got started with a review. I’ve seen this book being talked about in countless places, and I’ve heard incredible things about it. Also, I thought that it might be good to point out that, uh, I’ve been blogging her for 10 months (wow that’s a long time) and I have never ever reviewed a nonfiction book that wasn’t a biography. (Brown Girl Dreaming got that) Anyways, here is my review of Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You, by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi.
