As you probably know, were always looking for fun bookish memes. And last week I came across the 5 On My TBR. Every week there is a prompt and you talk about 5 books on your TBR that fit that theme. This bookish meme is hosted by E from Local Bee Hunter’s Nook. Go check out her blog as well! For now, let’s jump right in. Continue reading “5 On My TBR #1 | Ensemble Cast”

Royal Update #37
We thought it was time for a fun new post every week. In the Royal Update one of us updates you about our personal life, bookish news, what we’re reading, watching and listening to and anything else that might apply to this post. We thought it would be fun to share a bit more about our personal lives and hope you think so too!
Buddy Review| Well Met – Jen DeLuca
Well Met is a book that we’ve both had our eye on since it released. If you look at the cover and know it takes place a Renaissance Faire, it should be clear why we needed to read this book. Add a group discussion to the mix and it was decided we’d both read this book in August. Today we want to tell you about this book. Did it live up to our expectations? Keep on reading to find out!
Show Sunday | Upcoming Netflix Shows I’m Excited About
Usually I would already have been watching a ton of trailers for all the new tv shows coming in the fall. Unfortunately with all of the COVID-19 consequences a lot of shows haven’t been filming and so the fall schedule is still a bit tentative I believe. So I haven’t been able to find that many new shows yet. However, I do have a couple of Netflix shows that are coming out in the next couple of months. And I’m very excited about those! So let’s jump in. Continue reading “Show Sunday | Upcoming Netflix Shows I’m Excited About”
Review| Heroine – Mindy McGinnis
After reading Be Not Far From Me earlier this year, I was really curious about Mindy McGinnis’ other books. Heroine was one I’ve seen around for awhile and saw that it was available on Storytel. I can tell you that this author really knows how to suck you into a story!
I do want to start off by saying that this book has major trigger warnings. Before you read this book, you should know that drug use/abuse, overdosing, addiction and even goes into detail how these drugs are used. Be warned when you pick it up!
Bookish Item | #FaeFriday #2
I always like trying new things every once in awhile for bookish items. Today I decided to participate during #FaeFriday. This weekly tag was created by Kristy from Caffeinated Fae. Definitely check out her blog, because she’s the sweetest! She decided to create a tag that’s a bit magical and the header was created by her as well. Each Friday has a different prompt, so let’s take look at this week’s topic!
This week on #FaeFriday: We all know those classic fairytales, but sometimes a retelling can blow the classic out of the water. This curious wannabe fae wants to know what are some fairytale retellings that you have enjoyed! I love retellings, so I decided to take a look at what kind of retellings I would like to read. Let’s jump in. Continue reading “Bookish Item | #FaeFriday #2”
Unboxing| Illumicrate: We Are The Resistance
It’s been quite awhile since we’ve had an unboxing on the blog. I stopped buying book boxes for awhile. That is until Illumicrate started having some really interesting themes and very pretty books. Today I’ll be doing an unboxing for the July 2020 box We are the resistance. There was a delay with some items, so this box only arrived last Saturday.
I think most people have received their boxes by now, but if not be aware of spoilers if you continue reading this post. Let’s take a look what was in this box!

Tag| 90’s Book Tag Music Edition
Besides reading, I really enjoy listening to music. There’s almost always something playing in the background, even when I’m reading! I saw the 90’s Book Tag Music Edition on Ellie’s blog Read to Ramble. I wasn’t tagged, but it looked like so much fun I decided to tag myself! So let’s take a look at the different prompts for this tag.
The 90’s Book Tag Music Edition was originally created by Jemma from What Reading Does and Milly from A Books Neverland.
Can’t Wait Wednesday| Spoiler Alert – Olivia Dade
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.
