Wednesday Update

by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment on Wednesday Update

First off, dragon post probably will not come out until next week. I know it’s killing you, this anticipation. HAHA. I figured end the month off strong with the post.

Secondly, I’m going out of town next weekend for a wedding. I will be able to get a few more of my posts done, but September TBR… It’ll surprise for us all if I am able to get it out on time. I have low faith that I can, to be honest.

As for books. I am moving on to book 4 for Harry Potter. I still have not been able to touch the George RR Martin books. At this point, I might have to push those books off to November and just focus on completing HP for this month. That’s no big deal really, and in some ways, I sort of prefer it.

I got a lot of new books, and I wasn’t sure if I should make a post about those or not. A lot of them are old books. So do I want to make that post? I’m not sure. I’ll figure it out, I suppose. For now…

Happy Wednesday! Until next time,

MM

Finally, I got the time to finish this post after rushing to finish my tea posts. It was so much tea, let me tell you! Regardless, here is my list.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books Outside My Comfort Zone

by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment on Top Ten Tuesday: Books Outside My Comfort Zone

Coming back with another Top Ten Tuesday! ( Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.)

This week is:  “September 3: Books I Enjoyed That Are Outside of My Comfort Zone (i.e., a genre you don’t typically read or subject matter you’re not usually drawn to)”

Enjoyed is past tense which means these have to be books I read? Oh. This will be hard indeed. Or… maybe. Am I drawn to classics? If the answer is yes, then I might be screwed. I already can’t pick poetry, plays, fantasy, or sci-fi. However, it’s not like I go out of my way to read classics all the time. It should count! We’ll see what I can come up with.

End of Month Reading Update

by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment on End of Month Reading Update

Hello all! I think today is as good a day as any to post thrice. I want to talk about a few things.

First off, Book boxes.

I should get my Fairy Loot box today. Probably. Two, I will be getting the Queen of Nothing book box from Fairy Loot — mostly because I really like the idea of it.

Two, Newts

As of today I have six books left. This is actually a lot but the goal is to get one of them done today. I am freaking out that I will not finish in time. It’s a massive freak out really. Because I had eight left last week, but then three more as extras, for a grand total of 11. Four of these books are from Wicked‘s series. AKA long. Wish me luck. I have four days to pull this off.

Three, Tea Post

Sorry about not posting the second tea post for January yesterday. I simply… forgot to finish taking pictures of all the teas. It’ll be here today!

Until Next Time,

MM

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Want to Own

” Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. ” I found this challenge/activity through the blog Kitty Marie (https://kittymariebookreviews.home.blog/) and I thought it would be a fun thing to try. Since I am so often without without a clue as to what to post over the course of the week. Without further ado…

“August 27: Books I’ve Read That I’d Like In My Personal Library (perhaps you checked it out, borrowed it from a friend, received it for review, etc. and want to own it yourself.) (Submitted by Annemieke @ A Dance with Books)  “

You may be surprised, but I can answer this question. Surprisingly… Without any particular order (well except for 1)

I hope you are all having a beautiful Wednesday morning! I know I am, and today I bring you some interesting news.

I recently got a message from a follower named Patri, who has asked for accessibility features to be added to the site, namely audio tracks in the form of an audio podcast, for my posts. I will be using one of her recommendations, for easy access to all my posts. It’ll be added soon. Thank you so much for the recommendation and the links! It saved me time with the research.

However.

My Goodreads

by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment on My Goodreads

Okay, so I did make a goodreads back in May. I wasn’t sure how I was going to use it to keep track of books, because it simply just wasn’t something I used.

Instead of trying to go through all the books I own and try to figure out when I read them and possibly try to do it that way. I’m going to start with my earliest records of keeping track of the books I read (Aka last January, 2018) and just add in all those books and their read month/year. Anything before that, unless it’s very specific (and I’ve added already), I’m not going to bother.

Yeah, so… if in the future, anyone asks. That’s why.

This blog post is mostly about that. Also about how at some point I’ll learn to keep a consistent Instagram and take photos of all my tea boxes for the tea posts. Sometime. Not today though, (And that’s why I can’t seem to ever do it lol)

Until next time,

MM
