Hello readers! It’s almost halfway through 2026, so I thought I might as well do a little update on my reading goals. I only had 4 for 2026 because I wasn’t fully sure what to add to them. CLICK HERE to check out my 2026 reading goals post! Also, how is everyone doing? I am currently 16 weeks along and doing well. The second trimester has been much kinder to me than the first one was. Goal 1:…
Hello readers! It’s time to talk about the books I’m going to read in June. The Tarot readathon is happening again this year, and I decided I wanted to do it. I’m going to go ahead and pick 5 books for the readathon, and then I’ll pull more cards if I get to all the books. I am using this mini tarot deck I got from Books-A-Million a long time ago. It’s actually the exact one Daijah is using in…
Hello readers! It’s time for a WWW Wednesday post. I also have a bit of news. I’m pregnant! This is my first pregnancy, and I’m currently 14 weeks along. This pregnancy wasn’t exactly planned, but I am still very excited. I had a little bit of a dip in motivation during my first trimester, but I really am feeling better. If you don’t know, WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme created by Taking On a…
Hello readers! Welcome back to Down the TBR Hole. I’m having a lot of fun with this series. I’m considering doing a post, sort of like my masterlists, where you can find every Down the TBR Hole series I’ve done. I think this is the 4th or 5th time I’ve done this. This post will be part two of sorting through the Want to Read shelf based on authors who appear on my Want to Read list more than…
Hello readers! It’s time to go over some books on my Want to Read shelf. In the previous post, Down the TBR Hole: The Audit, we left off at 238 books, which is 36 books less than when we started this round. And we are starting at 233. Previously, I decided to go through the books on my Want to Read shelf from newer books, including those added in 2024 and 2025. This time, I am going to go over…
Hello readers, and happy Spring! It’s time to talk about new releases for Spring 2026 that I am super excited to get to. I have 5 books to talk about in this post, one of which I have an ARC for. I know I’m a little late on this post, but I’m still excited to post it! I usually post my anticipated reads for the season before the season starts. However, let’s jump into it! What are you looking…
Hello readers! It’s time for another Down the TBR Hole post. Now that I’m starting a new round, I decided to do a little sidequest. I’ll be going back through the posts from the last round, removing more books from them, and showing you guys some stats. I’m also going to be moving this series to Tuesdays instead of Mondays. I’ve recently discovered a new weekly meme that I’d like to participate…
Hello readers! Today, I am bringing you my own original book tag. I cannot wait to see other bloggers’ thoughts on problematic books and authors! I’ve been doing this problematic authors series lately, where I deep dive into problematic elements in an author’s books. Most recently was Roald Dahl. I thought I could create a tag on the same theme. This tag will absolutely contain some spoilers of…
Hello readers! It’s time for a reading update. I have been reading like crazy this week! I’ve read 6 books so far this week. Most of them were graphic novels, but it’s still a big deal for me. Half of those were books I own! I am really working on whittling down my TBR this month. If you don’t know, WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme created by Taking On a World of Words where you share what you…
Hello readers! I wanted to share with you a challenge I’ve been planning to try for a few months now. I have read a LOT of Stephen King’s books in my life. I’ve made quite a few posts and references to How I Got Into Reading. I’ve been reading Stephen King for 20 years! That is wild to think about and say. I actually started with a random book, being Lisey’s Story. I grabbed it because it was…
Hello readers! It’s already March! February really went by so quickly. I managed to get to 6 books in February, and I’m here to share them with you. If you are interested, I posted a Problematic Authors post on Roald Dahl this week, and some of the books I read this month are in that post. I won’t be sharing them again here. I am actually very happy with my reading month! I have really been…
Hello readers! Today’s tag post is one I’ve done before, but it’s been a few years. This one’s topic centers on your personal library. I can’t lie, I don’t have the library setup I’d like in my house. Most of my books are in stacks on my floor and in my closet. This tag was created by fellow WP blogger 24hryabookclub. Don’t forget to check out my Book Tag Masterlist for the 100+ book tags I’ve…
Hello readers! It’s time for the second installment of the Problematic Authors series. This time, we are going over another children’s author. This series isn’t about telling you what you should or shouldn’t read. Everyone has to make their own decisions and decide what’s appropriate for themselves or their kids, if applicable. This is just my opinion on when separating art from the artist works…
Hello readers and movie lovers! When I think of Disney, I think of nostalgia. I have so many fond memories of watching and rewatching the movies as a kid. As you guys may know, I met my boyfriend Jimmy, who goes by AmpedHero online, in September 2025. One of the things we bonded about early on was our love of Disney and Disney movies. This will be a new series here on my blog where I, Alli the…
Hello readers! It’s time for Let’s Talk Bookish. You may have noticed I didn’t post a tag yesterday. I was unexpectedly summoned and then picked for jury duty. Two weeks ago, I was summoned for jury duty, but it got canceled. It did say at the bottom of my paper that I could be called again in the same month if it was canceled, which I was. I had never been called for jury duty in my life, so I…
Hello readers! It’s time for my MGM TBR. I am super excited for Middle Grade March this year. I am going to try to read as many books as I possibly can in March. First, I will go over the books I’ll be reading for the prompts, and then I’ll share some other books I’d like to read this month. Let me know what is on your TBR for Middle Grade March! Check out the Middle Grade March announcement…
