I mentioned this in my 2019 Reading Goals post, but I have so many grand plans for diversifying my reading, and it’s really hard not to make them all part of my goals for the coming year! So instead, since I still want to outline and articulate those goals, I thought I’d put them together in a post that’s more focused on the longterm than the short term. Continue reading
Read Harder 2019 Challenge Ideas
My absolutely favorite part of the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge is researching all of the books I can use to complete these tasks! I always find some great ones, or use one of the prompts as an excuse to read something I’ve been meaning to for a while, and it’s just a great opportunity to revel in all of the books.

2018 Reading Stats
As fun as it is to put together a list of my favorite books of the year, I can’t lie: the reading stats post is by far my favorite! It’s just really cool to break down the numbers and look at the hard data of my reading. Continue reading

Rereading HP: The Deathly Hallows
FINALLY! I can’t believe it took me so long to finally finish this reread of Harry Potter, but I did it! And it was such a great conclusion to the series.
I will admit, I thought the first half of the book was pretty slow. I mean, it took more than 100 pages for Harry to finally leave the Dursleys, and then maybe another hundred pages for him to finally start hunting down Horcruxes.
