Hello and happy Wednesday, everybody! Tonight has been pretty crazy for me, and I have a french grammar test tomorrow, but right now is time for WWW Wednesday! WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On a World of Words, and how it works is each week I answer three questions:
I am currently reading The School for Good and Evil, by Soman Chainani and The Teacher’s Funeral, by Richard Peck.
I recently reread It Ain’t So Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas, the Novice, by Taran Matharu and Things Not Seen, by Andrew Clements. I also finally finished Crooked Kindom, by Leigh Bardugo which was so so so so sad, but incredibly written.
If you want to see all the books I’ve read so far this year, check out my Goodreads, where I (mostly) keep up with all the books I read.
Next, I really want to reread both The List, by Patricia Forde and Frogkisser, by Garth Nix.
*I also was experimenting with a different style of featured image in this post and the last one, so I’d love to hear what you think about that. I’m also going to be experimenting with redoing my blog’s graphics, keeping them kind of similar, but a little different? I’ll figure it out. But anyways, that should be happening in the next couple of days.
What are you currently reading? What do you think about my blog’s old graphics vs the new ones I’m trying out? Chat with me in the comments below! I’d love to hear your opinion!
Happy Reading,

Hello, and happy Wednesday! Today was the semi-final of OBOB, which is a reading competition that I’m participating in, and I won the battle so tomorrow I will be in the final which is very exciting, but also stressful because I’m the spokesperson and I will have to speak in front of everyone who shows up. (That’s 6th, 7th and 8th graders plus teachers and so yeah, it’s a lot.) Today was also my last day of algebra finals, which I’m glad to be done with!
Anyways… Right now, it’s time for my weekly reading update, WWW Wednesday! WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On a World of Words, and how it works is each week I answer three questions:
I am still currently reading Crooked Kindom, although I have made a lot of progress. I am rereading the Novice, by Taran Matharu, and The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani.
I recently reread The Only Road, by Alexandra Diaz, House Arrest, by K. A. Holt, and Hattie Ever After, by Kirby Larson. I listened to Hattie Ever After, and the person who reads it is really good.
If you want to see all the books I’ve read so far this year, check out my Goodreads, where I (mostly) keep up with all the books I read.
Next, I think I’ll read Black Radishes, by Susan Lynn Meyer, reread It Ain’t So Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas, and The Teacher’s Funeral, by Richard Peck! I’m keeping my weekly TBR the exact same because I didn’t actually get to any of the books above!

Hello, and happy Wednesday. Right now, it’s time for my weekly reading update, WWW Wednesday! WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On a World of Words, and how it works is each week I answer three questions:
I am currently reading Six of Crows, by Leigh Bardugo, Frogkisser, by Garth Nix, and Shabanu, by Suzanne Fisher Staples. I am rereading Frogkisser, and I really like it. And I am FINALLY reading Six of Crows. I have seen and heard so many amazing things about this book, and I’m finally getting to it! I’m not that far into it, but so far I’m really liking it, and I’ll see how it turns out! I’m still reading Shabanu, as it is a book I’m reading for school. I really did not enjoy it at the beginning, and now that I’m farther into it, I’m liking it a little bit more. It is however, very suspenseful now that I’ve finished the section and am not allowed to read past it, but tomorrow after we discuss it in class I’ll be able to finish it, so I’m definitely looking forwards to that.
I recently finished rereading The Teacher’s Funeral, by Richard Peck, The List, by Patricia Forde, and House Arrest, by K. A. Holt.
Next, I think I’ll read Black Radishes, by Susan Lynn Meyer, reread It Ain’t So Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas, and Ms. Bixby’s Last Day, by John David Anderson

Hello and happy Tuesday! Right now where I live it is extremely rainy, which is great because I like the rain! Anyways, my first OBOB battle (Oregon battle of the books, a competition where teams battle to answer questions about 16 chosen books) is tomorrow, so I’ve been squeezing in as much reading as I can. Anyways, right now it’s time for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week’s topic is the 10 most recent additions to my bookshelf.
This is kind of hard because I have gotten a lot of books in the last few months and I don’t actually remember the order, but I’ll try, so without further ado, my most recent-ish additions to my bookshelf.
1 It Ain’t So Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas
2 The Teacher’s Funeral, by Richard Peck
3 Ordinary Girls, by Blair Thornbush
Ok. So I got all three of those over winter break. I’m sure of that.
But before that was my birthday and my bat mitzvah, and because every one I know knows I love to read, I got a lot of books. Which is definitely not a bad thing. It is definitely a very very good thing. However, I don’t know the order in which I received the books, so I’m just going to list some more books that have recently-ish made their way onto my bookshelf.
4 The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
5 The Wolf Wilder, by Katherine Rundell
6 Before We Were Free, by Julia Alvarez
7 Giant Pumpkin Suite, by Melanie Heusier Hill
8 The Sun is Also a Star, by Nicola Yoon
9 Everything, Everything, by Nicola Yoon
X The Book Thief, by Marcus Zusak
Ahhhh… formatting in WordPress is hard sometimes.
What are some of your recent additions to your bookshelf? Have you read any of the books I’ve mentioned? Do you also think that Nicola Yoon’s book covers are really really pretty? Chat with me in the comments below!
Happy Reading!
Hello! I kind of took an unexpected mini hiatus, but now I’m back. Although I didn’t mean to or want to take a short break from blogging, it was good because I’ve been overwhelmed with school, and I haven’t been feeling well.
Hiatus: A pause, break, gap, lacuna, interval, intermission, interlude, interruption, suspension, lull, respite, time out, time off, recess
Ahhh, the thesaurus. Just read that out loud to yourself. It’s so satisfying!
So, I’m back to blogging, and I’ll hopefully be able to blog consistently for now. Anyways, even though it isn’t Tuesday, and although Tuesday was a fairly long time ago, I’m going to make a list of some of my many bookish discoveries in 2019. This is an especially important post for me to do, and shouldn’t be too hard, considering that at the beginning of the year I actually had no idea what a book blog was, or that such wonderful things existed, so before I make this introduction it’s own post, here are my 2019 bookish discoveries.
And oh yeah; Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl, where each week there is a prompt and you pick your top ten (or five or twenty) and yeah!
Discoveries:
1 Book blogs
Let’s just start off with a kind of enormous one. The entire world of book blogging is very new to me! I started this blog with never actually having read another book blog. I know that seems kind of crazy, and it seems crazy to me! I mean, most of the things I write on this blog are tags and memes! Moving on…
2 Reading Nooks
I’ve always just read here and there and whenever and wherever I could. I still do; I read a lot, but I created a little reading nook in my room with a comfy chair, immediate access to my bookshelf, and lots of light. It really makes reading more enjoyable, and now I’ll set aside chunks of time to just read.
3 Blogging in general
Similar enough but also slightly different to the 1st one, blogging on a whole is something that is new to me. There are a lot of blogs. A lot of people blog. More specifically, a lot of teenagers blog. That was something that I was very surprised about!
Blogs:
4 Kat @ Novels and Waffles
5 Rukky @ Eternity Books
Books:
6It Ain’t So Awful Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas.
I discovered this book in early 2019, and I’ve reread it so many times since! It is an amazing book, and I love practically everything about it!
7 The Wolf Wilder, by Katherine Rundell
I read this book I’m pretty sure on New Years Eve Eve, but this was definitely on of the best books I read in 2019! I actually had read another book by this author in like third grade, but then I got this for my birthday, and I love it so much!
Posts:
8 Printed Books vs, ebooks: game on!
This post, found on the blog Drizzle and Hurricane Books is a really great comparison of two formats of books!
9 How in the World I Make My Graphics
This post, by Kat @ Novels and Waffles is so amazing and extremely helpful. It is basically a tutorial of how the waffle queen herself makes her graphics. If you haven’t seen her blog, you should definitely go check it out.
Well, that’s all for today! I hope you enjoyed reading about some of my 2019 bookish discoveries, and I’ll try to blog more and be back soon!

Happy new year, everybody! I can’t believe that it’s 2020! A whole new decade! Anyways, for now, it’s time for WWW Wednesday, my weekly reading update! WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On a World of Words, and how it works is each week I answer three questions:
I am currently reading The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing: Volume 1, The Pox Party, by M. T. Anderson and Port Chicago 50, by Steve Sheinkin, and I’m currently listening to The Girl who Drank the Moon, by Kelly Barnhill. I’m rereading The Girl who Drank the Moon, and Port Chicago 50, but both are very good, and so far, I’m really enjoying The Pox Party.
I recently finished rereading It Ain’t So Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas and The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell, and I recently finished listening to one of the 39 clues books, but I forgot which one. (It’s not the maze of bones, and it’s by a different author, but it’s the same series!)
Next, I want to read Before We Were Free, by Julia Alvarez, The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, and Turtle in Paradise by Jennifer L. Holm.
I’ll also probably reread The Teacher’s Funeral, by Richard Peck!

Happy New Year, and Happy Reading!
Happy new year’s eve! Or, I guess, if you’re in a different time zone, it might already be 2020! Anyways, this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @That Artsy Reader Girl, is Favorite Books I Read in 2019.
1 It Ain’t So Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas is amazing, and one of the best books I’ve read all year.
2 The Mother-Daughter Book Club series, by Heather Vogel Frederick. I know that this is actually 7 books, but I had to include the whole series. The characters, the plot, everything about these books are incredible!
3 Sarah’s Key, by Tatiana DeRosnay, is one of the best, and most powerful books that I’ve read this year, and in my entire life!
4 All of Rick Riordan’s books. I read all of them. Actually, I haven’t read his adult books, and I still have yet to read the latest Trials of Apollo book, but in May, June and July, I reread the Percy Jackson series, I read the Heroes of Olympus series, the first three Trials of Apollo books, (that was all that had been written by then), the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series, and all the other ones. I love those books, and I think that Rick Riordan’s writing is amazing, and the way that he adds on to different cultures’ mythology is really cool.
5 I just finished The Wolf Wilder, by Katherine Rundell a couple days ago, and it was amazing. The story, well, I did not expect it to be so good. It was really, really good, and had a very unexpected ending!
Sometimes I do less than ten books because I can’t come up with enough books, but right now, my computer isn’t working very well, and isn’t letting me add any more images, and some of the images are only partially showing up, so even though I could probably come up with another 25 of my favorite books from 2019, I’m going to leave it at this.
What are some of your favorite books you read in 2019? Have you read any of the ones on my top ten list? Chat with me in the comments below!
Happy Reading!
