A Letter and An Apology to the Top Ten Books I Meant to Read in 2023 but Never Got To

Image
As of January 2024, I would like to officially acknowledge the beginning of the new year. As of yesterday, I have replaced my pencil and eraser with a permanent pen, particularly as I am no longer needing to erase the "3" from the date portion of any paper document. I expect applause at this momentous occasion, but first...some of my intentions in 2023 remained unfruitful.  As tribute, this post is dedicated to the books that were abandoned. To those untouched on the TBR shelf or those pages never tear-marked, crinkled, highlighted, and marked with reader thoughts. To the books that would have left me breathless and developed my warped humor further with the trauma of losing characters or triangular love connections, this is an apology and an affirmation that you will shine in 2024! Move over DiCaprio, for the real dreamboats are awaiting my wicked eyes. These are the Books of '24 . 1 0 Books I Meant to Read in 2023 But Never Got To:     1. The Heroes of Olympus: The Son

Happy Saturday, everyone! I hope everyone's week was wonderful and everyone's start to their weekend is spectacular. I'm joining Stacking the Shelves hosted by Marlene at Reading Reality , in which every Saturday she and other bloggers share their recent additions to their shelves. It's not like my TBR list didn't need to grow anymore, but now it has to be the height of at least two basketball players.  Anyways, a few weeks ago, I had my birthday, and my mother graciously fed my love for infectious diseases and my pre-med existence. Thus, as this is the only post on my blog intended for those with a healthy sense of humor, I present to everyone a collection of pus-infected sores, graphic descriptions of diseases, and coloring! 1. The Infectious Disease Colouring Book 2. Graphic Guide to Infectious Disease  by Brian Kloss and Travis Bruce 3. Immunology made ridiculously simple  by Massoud Mahmoudi 4. Antibiotics Pharmacology Coloring Book With a final farewell, I jus

Book Haul: Stacking My Shelves High with Some New Books

On Saturdays, Tynga's Reviews hosts a weekly meme for all the book lovers who receive books. With this meme, a book or an author can be promoted to all the people who may be interested. This is really cool as I love discussing books; however, it is mostly in a review or blog tour style. I have never done a book haul as I never get a lot of books at one time and I always feel like expressing my love or deep hatred in a review. But, in the words of the young Justin Bieber, "Never say never." Now, as every book lover does on any day, it is time to share and hug my new books! - - - For Review(Thanks Netgalley, publishers, and authors! <3 ): 1. Bob by Wendy Mass and Rebecca Stead I had gotten a book by Nicholas Gannon, and it had such pretty artwork. Once I saw the title, which features my favorite name to use for stuffed animals, and that he was the illustrator, I hurried up and hit request. I cannot wait to read the story and stare at all the pretty illustr

Reading for 24 Hours TBR | #ReadathonByZoe and Finishing Some Books

#READATHONBYZOE'S 24 HOUR READATHON Hello everyone! If you can tell by the title of this post, I am joining readbyzoe's 24 hour readthon. Now, it is time to see if I made a mistake before I continue with the idea that I intend to  attend win this twenty-four hour readathon. First, in order to start this, I need to explain what a readathon is to those of you who may have looked at the title quizzically. A readathon, according to my brain at 11 p.m., is a time of celebration as one can read as much as they want in a certain amount of time allotted by the curator of said readathon. This readathon is curated by Zoe Hertz from readbyzoe on YouTube  and she announced that on March 3rd, which is approaching in just a few hours, the readathon will begin. The time when your clock chimes twelve is the time to start. Now, as I love charts and lists, I needed to have one ready for my goals and amount of times I would track my progress throughout the day and night. TBR: As

My Brother Chooses My March TBR (AKA Where I Curl into a Ball Due to My Fear of the Book God's Choices)

First, this may be one of the hardest things I will ever do in my life. I do not even know if I can write this post because I am so scared. This is literally me right now! For the month of March, I have let my brother choose the books I am going to read. Ugh, I hate having someone in control of my reading choices; however, I thought this would be a fun thing to do. Also, it would get me out of my comfort zone. Also, just to ease my suffering, I am making my brother do this challenge too! Hehe! However, does this mean I will stop reading Shadowhunters? Nope. Never. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Another synonym for no. Let's just jump into this torturous fun March TBR! My March TBR 1. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver -First read was so magical so I need more. 2. Love and War by Melissa de la Cruz -I should be okay without reading the first book, right? 3. The Book of Pearl by Timoth ée de Fombelle -Magical Realism a.k.a. starry eyes 4. The Knight with Two Swords
