TTT #355 | Posts I’ve Written That Give You the Best Glimpse of Me
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 Posts I’ve Written That Give You the Best Glimpse of Me; share the blog/Insta/Twitter posts or YouTube/TikTok videos you’ve made that showcase your personality the most and offer the clearest window into your personality. I think this is a really fun topic but also, I have no idea which posts to share haha. Thinking about the posts I wrote, I guess the ones about things I love show the most of my personality. So that is what I went with! Let’s jump in! Continue reading “TTT #355 | Posts I’ve Written That Give You the Best Glimpse of Me”
5 On My TBR| Multiple POVs
As we’ve mentioned before, one of our most important reading goals of is shrinking our physical TBR’s. Sometimes it’s hard to think of what books we still have or what subjects to read about. So we needed a way to keep track of this. 5 On My TBR is a way of keeping track. This is a meme hosted by E from Local Bee Hunter’s Nook. Every week there’s a different prompt for five on my TBR.
This week’s topic is multiple POVs. All of my romances tend to have multiple POVs, as well as quite a few fantasy books these days. Let’s take a look at five books with muliple POVs on my TBR.

Down the TBR Hole #133
It’s been two weeks since my last Down the TBR Hole and since then I’ve read two books that were on my Goodreads want to read shelf. I’m still really happy with my progress this year!
Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. This meme is now being hosted by Jody from I’m Into Books. 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!
