Bookish Memes || 2

Here I am sharing some more bookish memes that I found! Enjoy!

***These are not my memes. They’re ones that I found and wanted to share***

Currently Watching

I’m currently watching The Glory and am absolutely LOVING IT!

Seriously, I can’t stop watching. I keep saying ”just one more episode’ and then it ends and I’m like ‘okay, one more’!

I would HIGHLY reccomend you checking it if you haven’t already! Although if you do, PLEASE make sure to look up the TRIGGER WARNINGS! This show is rated TV-MA – “TV for Mature Audiences” as it does deal with A LOT of mature content!

A high school student dreams of becoming an architect. However, she had to drop out of school after suffering from brutal school violence. Years later, the perpetrator gets married and has a kid. Once the kid is in elementary school, the former victim becomes her homeroom teacher and starts her thorough revenge towards the perpetrators and bystanders of her bullying days.

Want to Read || March 2023

Today I want to share some of the books I would like to get to in March.

I say “like to” because whenever I make TBR or post want to reads, I never end up sticking to them. Maybe this will be the time that I do!

Hearstopper Volume 3 and 4

I would like to finish my Heartstopper reread this month. I’m really excited to continue my reread and get back with this squad!

Chain of Iron

I read Chain of Gold in February and absolutely loved it, so I can’t wait to continue on. I definitley want to read a few shorter books first because this one is a beast and I need to prepare myself!

Five Survive

I think this sounds like it’ll be a good read. I really enjoyed her Good Girls Guide to Murder series, so I’m looking foward to another story by Holly Jackson!

I also plan to throw in some ebooks as well, although I’m not quick sure what book I will be in the mood for. Most of my kindle books are romance, so something from that genre!

And those are the reading plans.

What are your reading plans for March?

February Wrap Up

Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare

I finally got around to reading this book. This is the first book in The Last Hours trilogy. I was completely surprised by how into this book I was. Even when I wasn’t reading it, I was still thinking about it, and couldn’t wait to pick it back up. I absolutely loved this book and am so excited to continue on.

The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu

Next I read the second book in The Eldest Curses series. These books follow Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. This particular book also had the other characters from the Mortal Instruments along for the ride as well. I enjoyed this one more than the first book. It was nice to be back with these characters, and I enjoyed the plot. I’m excited to see where this ends!

Heartstopper Volume 1 and Volume 2 by Alice Oseman

I did ANOTHER reread of Heartstopper. At this point it just seems like it might became an annual thing. I tend to find myself wanting to read this series at the beginning of the year. This is my third reread of this book and I loved it just as much as the previous times! This series is just sooo good!

And that’s what I read in February.

What did you read?

Bookish Memes

I always come across fun bookish memes and always love them! So I thought I’d share some of the meme’s I’ve come across.

(None of these are mine. I found them online and just thought I’d share)

Currently Reading

I FINALLY got around to starting The Last Hours trilogy by Cassandra Clare.

I’m about 150 pages into Chain of Gold so far and I’m enjoying it. I’m already invested in these characters and I’m so glad to be back at the London Institute. Also I just love the cover. It’s GORGEOUS! I can’t wait to continue on!

What are you reading?

Waiting on Wednesday

It’s time for WWW Wednesdays, at Taking on a World of Words. If you don’t know how it works, you simply answer the three W questions below!

The Three Ws are:

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next, and/or what are you eagerly awaiting?

What am I currently reading?

Nothing at the moment. It’s been almost a week since I’ve picked up anything, so I really need to find something!

What did I recently finish?

Gruff by Morgan Brice was my last read, and I just didn’t care about anything in this book. Not the characters, not the plot…nothing. I would’ve DNF it, but it was a really short read, so I just pushed through it.

What do you think you’ll read next?

This is always a tough one to answer because I’m a mood reader, so I can never say for sure what I want to pick up. However, at the moment I’m feeling like I may want to jump back into the world of Shadowhunters and so I may pick up Chain of Gold.

What are you currently reading? What have you recently finished? Let me know!

Currently Watching!!!

I’m currently watching Alice in Boarderland Season 2, which is one of my most anticipated shows. I’m finally getting around to it and I’m really invested!

The show follows Arisu and his friends in an abandoned Tokyo where they’re being forced to compete in dangerous games to survive. Season 2 begins right where season 1 leaves off!

New Years Book Tag

I saw this over on And On She Reads page and thought why not answer these questions.

Yes, I know New Year’s is over, but hey, it’s still January so it’s considered acceptable right?…Right? Oh well, I still wanted to answer them anyway!!!

How many books are you planning on reading in 2023?

I don’t have a set number of books that I want to read. I always set my GoodReads goal to one book, and I’m always happy with that!

Name five books you didn’t get to read in 2022 but want to make a priority in 2023?

They’re are MANY books that I wanted to read in 2022, but just didn’t. Five of them would be:

• The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

• The Red Palace by June Hur

• Gallant by V.E. Schwab

• I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston

• Book of Night by Holly Black

Name a genre you want to read more of in 2023?

I definitely want to read more manga and possibly some middle grade this year! I would to love to know what you would recommend.

Three non-book related goals for 2023?

I don’t have many, but some non related book goals for me are:

• Journal more. I definitely have fallen behind on journaling and would love to get back into it this year.

• Be more active

• I would love to try to learn a new language. I tried duolingo once a while ago, but just never stuck with it. I would like to try again this year and see what comes out it.

What’s a book you’ve had forever and still need to read?

I was looking at my shelves and on the stuck out to me immediately is The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. I’ve had this book on my shelf for SO LONG!!! I need to make this a priority for this year!

Favorite Dramas of 2022

I’m excited to share my favorite dramas that I watched in 2022. I didn’t watch as many dramas as I normally do, and I still have A LOT that I need/want to watch. But I thought I’d share what I enjoyed in 2022! As I was writing a quick reason why I loved these dramas, one thing you’ll notice is I love a drama with AMAZING CHARACTERS!!!

Semantic Error

This drama had me hitting play on the next episode as soon as I finished the previous one. It has a simple plot- university students- but one of my favorite tropes- enemies to lovers, and I was so invested. The actors did such a fantastic job with this!

River Where the Moon Rises

This was a surprise for me. I knew I would like this drama, but I had no idea I would absolutely love it. This was a drama where I stayed up WAY TOO late to finish, which is something that I haven’t done in awhile. I was so invested in the story and these characters! And I adored the relationship between the couple.

Crazy Love

Oh this drama! I LOVED this drama! I swear this drama had hooked! Kim Jae Wook and Krystal Jung were a perfect choice for these characters! I found myself laughing so hard at moments, and when the episode ends you’ll be wanting to press play for the next episode.

Why Her?

I know this drama has quite a bit of mixed reviews for it, but I ended up LOVING it. I was invested in the story and the characters, and the relationships! I have a full review talking about it, if you would like to check it out! Why Her? Review!

Not Me

This story was so interesting and the charcters were fantastic! All the actors did great, but Gun and Off’s protrayals were brilliant to watch. This was one where you wanted to keep watching for the story and the romance!

So those were my favorites of the year. As I said, I still have A LOT of drama’s that I want to watch, so hopefully I’ll have many more favorites this year!
