GOALS FOR 2023

 Since it is a new year, I have decided to tell you all ahead of time what plans I have for this blog!

Aside from doing spoiler free book reviews and tags, I have decided to start doing the following:

  • Have some more posts that are not book related, aside from my art posts (that are now mostly on Instagram, if you haven't noticed). This can range from talking about cartoons to stories about my life. I know, it might seem weird since this is primarily a book blog, but I thought it would be a good way to get to know me better and change up the conversations once in a while. Besides, I have other hobbies aside from reading!
  • I will not be making posts about marketing. When I first started this blog I said that I might make posts related to all things marketing, but I never did these past few months, and the desire dwindled over time. I still love my marketing degree and will still work in all things marketing in my private life, but I will not be discussing it here since most of my followers do not seem interested. 
  • I have a goal to read 60 books this year. This number might change, obviously, depending on what I am able to get around to or if I find more books to read that weren't originally on my TBR. 
  • I really want to finish so many books and series this year that have taken me so long to finish/I procrastinated on. This will be the year I catch up on stuff!
That is all! What are some of your goals for this year?

The Baker and The Bard Review

Image
  A cozy little fantasy adventure with queer representation! The Baker and the Bard by Fern Haught follows two friends, Juniper and Hadley. They work at a bakery and sometimes perform at an inn. One day their boss at the bakery sends them on a mission to get some glowing oyster mushrooms in a big forest for a big order a rich customer places. The friends get notice that several crops nearby are failing. They find out the cause is because of giant caterpillars that belong to a fey (fairy) named Thistle. It turns out, the fey caterpillars have some problems of their own. Juniper and Hadley find a way to help Thistle and get the mushrooms they need for the bakery. I gave it 5 stars. It's such a simple, but magical story! I think this book is perfect if you're in the mood for some adventure but with not very high stakes. Kind of like Legends and Lattes! There is also queer rep in this book. Hadley and Thistle are nonbinary, and Juniper and Hadley become a Sapphic couple.

I Started Reading the Call the Name of the Night manga series!

Image
  I hope this becomes a new favorite series! Call the Name of the Night by Tama Mitsuboshi is about Mira--a girl with a rare condition where everytime she gets anxious, everything around her gets engulfed in darkness and it scares people. She is currently living with a doctor and magician named Rei, who is researching her rare condition and will maybe find a cure for it. Mira's daily life with Rei is rather chill: she usually reads books, helps Rei with cooking, plays with little shadow creatures,  and hangs out in the garden.  One day, an old, rather sketchy acquaintance of Rei's names Cartos comes to visit, and Mira ends up learning something about herself she never knew.  So far, I am loving this!  I gave this first volume 5 stars .  I love the heartwarming magical cottagecore vibes and the gorgeous pictures. it's like a more chill version of Witch Hat Atelier, in my opinion.  I also love the dynamic between Mira and Rei! I have a feeling Cartos will continue being a so

Favorite Childhood Online Games

Did you play any of these as a kid? I don't play on any of the ones that require an account anymore (plus Club Penguin no longer exists and my Webkinz account expired a long time ago), but the other ones I still play once in a while! 1. Webkinz-   I still have all 50 of my Webkinz (the stuffed animals in real life, I mean)!  Webkinz was everything to me all throughout elementary school.  2. Club Penguin- I played this one mostly in fourth and fifth grade (ages 9-10). It was a lot of fun! Although it was way more fun if you were a member (which I wasn't).  3. Poptropica- I always made my character look like me. Did you know the creator of this game is also the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid ? 4. Funbrain- My favorites on here were the swinging game, the one where a guy runs on logs, Mighty Girl/Guy, and the Star Climber. They also had some online books, like Tess's Tree and the earliest draft of Wimpy Kid . 5. AddictingGames- well, I mostly played Red Remover on here. At one
