In May I had a trial for Audible and shared my thoughts afterwards. While my conclusions were that it wasn’t worth it to me and that I would cancel my subscription, I didn’t actually cancel it haha. I forgot about it at first, got a good deal when I did want to cancel and might have changed my mind after a couple of months. So today I want to give an update on whether or not I think Audible is worth it. Let’s jump in! Continue reading “Bookish Item | Audible; Is It Worth It – Update”

Tag| The Christmas Book Blogger Tag
It’s December and I’m in a very festive mood. I’ve been reading holiday themed books, listening to Christmas music, and even watching Christmas movies. So I thought it was time to spread a little Christmas cheer on the blog with The Christmas Book Blogger Tag. This tag was created by Between the Lines, but it seems their site isn’t working anymore, but I found this tag on Whimsy Pages.
Can’t Wait Wednesday| Amari and the Great Game – B.B. Alston
We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

TTT #214 | Books I Want to Read Before the End of the Year
We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is a freebie so I decided to go with Books I Want to Read Before the End of the Year. We have a little less than 4 weeks to go so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to read 10 more books but I’ll try my best! Let’s take a look.

Down the TBR Hole #68
I’ve been pretty ahead with the blog lately, so it’s actually been a couple weeks now since I wrote the last Down the TBR Hole. Thankfully my want to read shelf hasn’t gotten a lot bigger since the last time.
Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. It looked like a fun and productive way to finally make a dent in that Goodreads TBR. I went through my want-to-read shelf a little while ago but I think I was still to kind on a lot of books. Let’s see what I’ll make of it this time around. I decided to go with 10 books at a time so lets get started!
Buddy Review| My Contrary Mary – Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton & Jodi Meadows
It’s been quite some time since we’ve done a buddy review and it’s great to be back with them for a book like My Contrary Mary. We were both big fans of The Lady Janies trilogy and couldn’t wait for this book to release. It took us a few months to actually pick this one up, but we finally did! So keep on reading to find out more about My Contrary Mary and what we thought of this book!

Bookish Item| December TBR
I can’t believe it’s time for my last TBR of 2021! It was another complicated year, but it was filled with a lot of amazing books. With Christmas around the corner I love reading more holiday related stories, but there will be a few other titles on my TBR. Keep on reading for my full December TBR.
