Ratings. We all use them, whether it’s for shows or books, or even for restaurants! Ratings and reviews help us make decisions about how we spend our money and our time.

Naturally, I was ecstatic to hear a sequel to this book was going to be released. Who knows what questions this book would answer about Gilead?…
Yes, I know, this readathon happened earlier this month… by now, you should know that I struggle to finish up my posts on time – but I’m working on it! Out of all of the readathons I participated in this month, this was the shortest – but also the most spontaneous! The way this readathon works is that every 12…
Soooo maybe some of you don’t know this but I LOVE KPOP. I’ve been listening to kpop since I was 12 years old, and while I’ve drifted away and come back multiple times, it is one of my favourite genres of music.
