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! Continue reading “Royal Update #107”
Books are something that take up a lot of my time, but on top of that I’m also a big fan of TV shows and watch way too many, haha. Isabelle is the same and told you about her 2021 favorite TV shows last week and today it’s my turn. 2021 was filled with a lot of amazing new TV shows, but also some older ones that I got caught up on. Keep on reading to hear about the shows I was loving last year!

It’s been a while since we’ve done a buddyread and decided it was time again. So our first buddy review is going to be for If This Gets Out. We were both really curious about this one and it definitely was quite different than we were expecting, but not in a bad way. Keep on reading to find out more about the book and what we thought.

It’s been quite some time since I’ve done this, but I thought it would be fun to talk about a few books I want to read in 2022 that I think will be five star reads. These will be a mix of new and older releases. Hopefully I’ll remember to come back to this post later this year to see if I was right about my five star predictions. Let’s take a look at a few books I’m hoping/expecting will be amazing!
Naomi Novik wrote one of my favorite books; Uprooted. So of course I was interested in her dark academia series The Scholomance. Last year I got an eARC for A Deadly Education and I LOVED that book. It was one of my favorite books I read in 2021. And after that last line I needed the second book badly!! I also got an eARC for that one but because I was so busy it took me a while to pick it up. Once I actually did though, I finished it in about 2 days. And today I want to tell you all about it! Continue reading “Review | The Last Graduate – Naomi Novik”
As a book lover I’m always amazed by the stories and world authors are able to create. That’s why I also love learning more about the authors behind the books I read. Heather Mateus Sappenfield has a book releasing on February 1st: The River Between Hearts. I have the honor of interviewing this author. So keep on reading more to find out about this upcoming book and more about this author.

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. Continue reading “Can’t Wait Wednesday | Portrait of a Thief – Grace D. Li”
Every year we try to set ourselves some goals. At the end of 2021 we set our 2022 reading goals but today we want to give the final update on the 2021 reading goals we set about a year ago! We gave an update (part 1 and part 2) about half way through the year so you might have an idea whether we actually reached our goals. Let’s jump in!

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 most recent additions to my book collection. Seeing how we just did a bookhaul this topic doesn’t seem necessary. So I decided to take a go at next week’s topic: Books I Meant to Read in 2021 But Didn’t Get To. There were more than 10 releases I didn’t get to, but here are ones that are getting priority in 2022.

The past week we’ve been talking about the books we read in 2021. Thankfully we both read a lot of books and if you want to see what books we loved you can look back at the lists of our favorite graphic novels/manga, romances, backlist books and 2021 releases. Today we want to talk about our most disappointing reads of 2021. No, this isn’t a post to just say how bad books are. We just want to talk about the books we thought would be 5 stars and just didn’t turn out to be that way. Keep on reading to find out more!
