Today, I'm featuring music from a new favorite tv show, Psych (2006-2014).  I've always heard good things about it, but one of my local tv stations has started airing it (in order and everything) and I totally get the hype now! I'm currently into season 5.  I love that it's been able to do different versions of the theme song.  Give a listen to the theme song, the S...

  Happy Sunday everyone!  Today I'm sharing my my second update for my progress for the year long reading challenge called the  2026 Popsugar Reading Challenge .  In February, I completed 7 books for a total of 18 read so far out of 50 total books on my tbr.  More excellent progress, I think.  You can see my original tbr  here .  Keep reading to see my thoughts on the books I read in February for this challenge: 36. A book about a mob (fiction or nonfiction) ❋   ❋  ❋  ❋   Dungeon Crawler Carl  ( Dungeon Crawler Carl  #1) by Matt Dinniman  has been recorded to me so many times, both this series opener and the series as a whole. I'm glad I finally decided to pick it up and stop putting it off because it was a lot of fun. I wouldn't consider it perfect because there were some things that didn't work as well for me. Mainly, I don't think it needs to be quite as long as it is. I also think it's too repetitiv...

Happy Sunday everyone!  Today I'm sharing my plans for the March 2026 Bingo Round of the  Trope-ical Readathon  which is hosted by  Jenjenreviews .  It will run the entire month of March and as usual I'm joining Team Fantasy this time around.  This time around we've got unique bingo boards to complete that are based around your choice of team.  There are 25 squares with different prompts in each, and I've made a full tbr for it.  You can follow along on  BlueSky  and  Discord , if you like.  I hope to earn a full blackout bingo, but who knows how many I'll be able to get to.  Keep reading to see the books on my tbr for this round: B Dark Academia My choice:  Katabasis  by R.F. Kuang  - I'm also reading this for my  2026 Popsugar Reading Challenge .  I'm really looking forward to this one. Mental Health My choice: Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman - This has been on my tbr for so long and I'v...

Happy Thursday everyone!  Today, I'm sharing my February update for  Bookforager's Picture Prompt Book Bingo 2026 .  In February, I completed 3 out of 4 read so far of a total of 16 books on my tbr.  Without further ado, keep reading to see my thoughts on the books I read in February for this challenge: 8. A cooking pot hanging over a campfire ❋   ❋  ❋ Showstopper  by Lily Anderson  is a solid YA horror thriller. I wouldn't call it a favorite, but it has its moments. I do wish the characters felt more developed and the satire/ humor elements didn't always hit for me. In a way it reminded me of the tv series Scream Queens , so if you enjoyed that tv series you may want to check out this novel. My review is also on Goodreads and The StoryGraph . 1. A teacup and a saucer ❋   ❋  ❋  ❋   ❋  The Tea Dragon Society  ( Tea Dragon  #1) by K. O'Neill  was so stinking cute and I absolutely need to read the rest of this...
