I Paid an Expert to Pick What I Read | Trying Out BookRiot’s Tailored Book Recommendations (TBR) Service

Hello my lovely lemons! I've got a very interesting post today. About a week ago I signed up to BookRiot's newsletter.

14 Books With Asexual Representation | Need More Ace Spectrum Books? I Got You Covered!

Hi guys! Hope Pride month is going well for you all. Today I'm gonna talk about something I want to see more of: books with asexual rep! As someone on the ace spectrum (I'm demisexual) I think these books are super important. But that brings me on to an awkward point: I haven't read any …

Top 10 Tuesday | Books I’d Like to Find Under the Tree

While my books look incredibly festive, I'm not sure how bookish my Christmas is looking.
