Vicious by V.E. Schwab: Book Review
I’ve somehow never read any of V.E. Schwab’s books, and I consider myself to be a constant reader who loves fantasy. Vicious served as a nice introduction to her work. Alternating between the book’s present-day and flashbacks throughout various characters’ lives, the plot moved along quickly [...]

Weekly Update for January 4, 2026

Weekly Update for December 28, 2025
Welcome to my weekly update for December 28, 2025! I hope everyone who celebrates the holidays had a great time and received some bookish goodies and everyone else had a good week!

2026 Immigration Reading Challenge
Welcome to my new 2026 Immigration Reading Challenge! With the current anti-immigrant climate here in the United States, and to some extent in other countries as well, this seemed like a good year to bring this challenge back. I firmly believe that a little empathy and understanding can help us put [...]
