#SciFiMonth2022 – Set Your Course (SciFi Month TBR)

November 1, 2022 by Mackenzie No Comments

Happy November everyone! November is #SciFiMonth, hosted by Lisa at Dear Geek Place and Imyril at There’s Always Room for One More. This year they are celebrating 10 years!! of hosting SciFiMonth, which is amazing. You can find Imyril’s post with a short introduction and the list of prompts for the month here. And of course please do explore both Lisa and Imyril’s blogs for more SciFiMonth goodness. I’ll try to be doing these prompts both here and on my Bookstagram. The first prompt is: “Set Your Course – SciFi Month TBR.”

I’m a mood reader, so I definitely don’t stick to TBRs. Or even make them haha. My TBR is just an overall general term, not like a monthly thing. So I’ll just talk about a handful books that I own and would like to read sooner rather than later!

The Happy Place 5: Anticipated 2022 Books

December 22, 2021 by Mackenzie 6 Comments

The Happy Place 5 is a monthly series where a few friends and I post 5 of our favorites books for a certain topic or theme. The name is from a Discord group that I am a part of. We created the space to have a positive environment for a handful of close friends. All of us are bookworms, and many of us are bookstagrammers and bloggers. So we decided to start a blog post series together! I’ll link my friends blogs and posts for this month’s topic at the end of this post.

I guess I missed the November edition of The Happy Place 5 haha. But oh well! We continue on with the series with this month’s theme. December is a month of wrapping up the past year, but it’s also a great time to look ahead to the coming one. In that vein, today I’ll be talking about five of my anticipated 2022 books. This was honestly so hard to choose (and you’ll see I cheated and added an honorable mention). 2022 is really looking like an INCREDIBLE reading year. So let’s get to it!

#SciFiMonth – My Favorite Sci-Fi Novellas!

November 29, 2021 by Mackenzie 2 Comments

So, I admit defeat. I have miserably failed at #SciFiMonth. Sometimes I get in blogging and reading ruts, and turns out the most of November was a rut for me. My philosophy is to not force myself to read or blog during those times, since I don’t want either to feel like a chore. So I spent time playing video games, watching tv, and hanging out with my family. But I wanted to squeeze in one more post before the month ends! I saw that the SciFiMonth Twitter had posted about a post that Laura made about sci-fi novellas, so that sparked my motivation a bit and here I am doing the same! So thank you Laura for the inspo.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time

August 24, 2021 by Mackenzie 19 Comments

Thank you to Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting/organizing Top Ten Tuesday!

I love this topic!!! Rereading books is great, but often you can’t capture the same emotions and shock that you feel when you read a book for the first time. It was interesting to think about which books I’d choose, and the reasoning behind them. I wish there was some way we could actually do this though haha.

The Happy Place 5: New Beginnings

February 3, 2021 by Mackenzie 6 Comments

The Happy Place 5 is a monthly series where a few friends and I post 5 of our favorites books for a certain topic or theme. The name is from a Discord group that I am a part of.

All of us are bookworms, and many of us are bookstagrammers and bloggers, so we decided to start a blog post series together! I’ll link my friends blogs and posts for this month’s topic at the end of this post.

Welcome to the February edition of The Happy Place 5! This month we are talking about new beginnings. By this we mean new/upcoming releases that are the first book of a series, or first books in a series that you have and want to start. I am choosing to do upcoming releases, since I just recently posted a list of series I own. I’m really bad at keeping track of new releases to be honest, BUT!! I did have quite a few already on my list that sound absolutely incredible. So here they are!
