she read, he said

GoodReads listed out 100 of the most popular YA books of the last five years and here’s what I know about them…

You know it’s a bad month when you have more DNF’s than books read. But I just can’t read another ebook y’all! All the books I read or attempted to read in October - including one that has my heart forever. ❤️

This episode is chaotic. It was supposed to be about some movies I’ve seen recently, namely DO REVENGE. I almost dedicated a podcast just to that movie. Stunning. And then Midnights came out and I had to say a few words. And gun violence is never ending so there’s some of that too. Also, vote November 8th - tysm.

Drama llama. Lo and Audrina have beef in the streets. Spencer has beef with relations of all kinds. Stephanie makes a questionable guy choice, and Audrina accuses Lauren of doing the same! Buckle up baby! Season 4 of The Hills.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… I saw a booktuber play a game where someone read her the first sentences of books and she tried to guess them. I stupidly thought that it would be easy. Throw me a classic like ‘There is one mirror in my house.’ (Divergent) or ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife' (...

All of the books with the lowest rating that I’ve read. A lot of people tend to rate celebrity memoirs poorly. And my beloved Lauren Barnholdt ends up on this list. As well as a very well deserved terrible book.

Stephanie Garber took the wheel this month plus a few thrilling and disappointing thrillers. Way to much to say today. All the books I read or attempted in September!

Sorting my GoodReads by the highest rated books. Some really good series and authors like Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, and Elizabeth Acevedo are in here… along with some major duds like WHERE THE FREAKING CRAWDADS SING.

Oh the Justin Bobby of it all! Lauren and Heidi are dunzo, Justin and Audrina are… something? Brody can’t compete with Paris. Season three of The Hills!

*Instead of skipping Christmas I should have skipped this book… amiright?¿* Anywayz, part two of terrible reviews of books I actually liked.

DNFing books more than halfway through… at least I gave them a chance? And a few good books that just took me a while to get through. All of the books I read or attempted to read in August!

A new Ruth Ware and Taylor Jenkins Reid. A lot of sequels. And a character with a fantastic name! All of the books coming out in July, August, and September!

Gotta love a petty Spencer! Season 2 of The Hills brings the introduction of Brody and Spencer, the beginning of the end (iYKYK) of Lauren and Heidi’s friendship, and Lauren’s 21st birthday.

GoodReads made a list of 72 of the most popular mystery and thriller books from the last three years. As thrillers have quickly become my new favorite genre - I happen to know a little about a lot of these! Consider this a potential thriller TBR for ya!

All of the books I read in July and surprisingly, I only DNF’ed two! Almost all of these was a 4 or 5 star for me. You love to see it.

Happy St. Patrick’s day in July! This was about a week or so before T arrived and I needed a little pick me up. I rambled on about his impending arrival, our house search, spring break plans that didn’t happen, and a little free library update. Enjoy the archives. ✌🏼

Edward Cullen is basically Joe Goldberg. Charlotte Brontë is dropping albums. People confuse the 1 star rating with the 5 star rating a lot. Basically I’m just here to hurt my own feelings but it’s all good fun.

Jason, Jordan, Whitney, Audrina, Teen Vogue, Bolthouse, FIDM, the nightclubs, the parties, lessssssgo!

Revisiting the books I’ve read during the first half of the year: big let downs, books I’m still excited to read, and sweet Molly Gray. 🤍

I hate ebooks okay? Okay. All of the books I tried to read in June and the few I actually finished. Special cohost: baby Thomas, 3 months.

Stephen still sucks. Jason is also trash but trash in the sense that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure? Diving into Season 2 of Laguna Beach. Bitches only! (IYKYK)

All of the books coming out in April, May, and June!

Summertime books have a beach setting or they involve a vacation (hopefully to somewhere warm!), or they just have a bright sunshiny cover. Here’s all of those that I’m hoping to get to this summer. ☀️

DNFing books I should have loved, some graphic novel manga situation, and more than one book told in emails! Ya love to see it. Everything I read or attempted to read in May.

For about five seconds I wanted to make a YouTube channel so I gathered up the books I’m unhauling and books I recently bought. Then I decided to stick with the medium I enjoy. So here’s all the books I recently got or that I’m getting rid of (aka the little free library that could).
