Mini Reviews: The Girl on the Train & Where They Found Her

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins TGotT book was not at all what I was expecting. Firstly, I expected Rachel (the girl on the train) to be, well, a girl. I was picturing a young 20-something, not an older woman. She had a lot of personal issues, so we hear about all of those in this story, and it got pretty boring/annoying at times. We also get two other POV's, and they each had their...

Mini book haul!

Hello bookworms!! I had heard (and seen) on Instagram that Six of Crows had been released early at certain Barnes & Noble, so of course I sprinted there right after work, but was let down when I didn't see it. So I bought three other books instead. It was kind of a win-win situation, wasn't it? Even if I didn't get Six of Crows, I'd get at least one (or three, oops!) other books. Hopeless...

Happy Monday!

Hi guys! I can't believe September is almost over. I'm visiting some friends in SoCal the first week of October, and it's not really hitting me that it's a little under two weeks away. I have to write a paper for class before I go, plus I'm trying to cram in as many books as I can because I won't be reading anything down there. I might get an audiobook to listen to in the car, but I don't want to use my data for that long. *sigh* THE STRUGGLES OF A BOOKWORM. Do you guys use Audible? Do you enjoy...

The Badlands Book Tag

This was created by Charnell from Reviews from a Bookworm :) Hi guys!

Halsey has become one of my all time favorite singers, and Badlines is incredible. It's rare for me to like every song on an album, so I of course had...

Happy Monday!

Hi! How are you guys? I'm so happy it's a new week. I had a crazy two weeks at work, plus there was  this festival I went too with my friend over the weekend, and my sleeping schedule got hugely messed up. I went from going to bed at 9:30 to midnight, ouch. So I'm soaking up these three days off I have from work, with no goals except to finish Queen of Shadows. I'm weirdly... mute about it. I thought for sure I would burst into tears the second I started reading it, but it's like my emotions...
