Books, Memes, TBR Lists, Top 10 Tuesday

Hi friends! 👋🏻 Today is the real first day of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere so I’m excited to share a part of my autumn TBR with you all! I say “part” of my TBR because I have two themed TBRs in autumn and I tend to go a little overboard. In October I read more horror, paranormal, and thriller books, while in November I read sci-fi. This part of my TBR is mostly my October TBR because there are a lot of things that I want to read in October and since this is Top 10 Tuesday, I’ve limited myself to 10 for the time being. Also, I don’t really know what I want to read in November yet, oops. The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey – Yes! I am finally going to read the book that I named my blog after! Yes I am aware that naming my blog after a book that I haven’t read is a little silly, but it sounded cool, okay? Ring by Koji Suzuki – I haven’t read very much Japanese horror outside of manga so I’m very excited to finally read thing one and also watch the movie adaptation. The Japanese one, of course, not the American remake. Mexican […]

Hi friends! 👋🏻 While I personally do not consider it to be autumn yet because I judge seasons by solstices and equinoxes, I’m treating life like it is autumn and not still summer (it was 22°C when I was writing this post and it made me all grumpy). To get me really into the autumn mood before the 22nd of this month, I’ve decided to do the Fall Time, Cozy Time Tag! I was indirectly tagged by Caro @ Bookcheshirecat whose post you can read here! This tag was originally created by Sam’s Nonsense! Crunching Leaves – choose a book that has reds/oranges/yellows on the cover This cover says “fire” more than it says “autumn”, but it’s gorgeous and it’s my current read so how could I not include this book? Cosy Sweater – What book gives you the warm fuzzies? Everything I can say about this book is a massive spoiler so just take my word when I say that there are so many moments in this book that make me feel all warm inside 🥰 Fall Storm – Choose a genre you like to read on a stormy day The weather doesn’t really affect what genre I want to read, but I definitely […]

Books, Memes, Movies, Top 10 Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, friends! 👋🏻 Yes, I took another unexpected break but this one was due to my annual birthday existential crisis and also not being at home for my birthday (which was on Sunday, by the way). But I am back with some renewed inspiration! This week’s prompt is actually “Books That Make Me Hungry” but I have serious issues with food and don’t like thinking or talking about food, so I am doing my own thing this week by talking about adaptations. I like to consider myself to be pretty chill when it comes to adaptations of books because I don’t mind if things are changed or taken out, as long as the characters and the story are mostly the same as the book. You won’t find me in the cinema with a notebook or an imaginary checklist, making a tally of everything that the director got “wrong” because it doesn’t matter that much to me. If that’s your way of seeing it, that’s fine. You do you, but I prefer to chill out about it. Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld – This book has been at the very […]
