2025 Book Releases – Part Two!

April 2, 2025 by Mackenzie 3 Comments

Back in January I posted a list of 2025 book releases to look forward to (which you can find here). Naturally, more books were announced, friends told me about books I didn’t know about, and I just otherwise discovered more releases. So I’ve made a part two with more 2025 book releases to get stoked about!! You may have already seen this on my Bookstagram (here) if you follow me on there. This post has the same info, but I’ve also added the Goodreads and Storygraph links for each book.

Monday Minis – January 20th: Underrated Reads From 2024

January 20, 2025 by Mackenzie 6 Comments

During 2024 I worked on trying to write at least a sentence or two on Goodreads for each book that I finished. I definitely want to continue that into this year, and hopefully try to expand to slightly longer reviews again! In the meantime, what I have now is perfect for sharing for these Monday Minis! So for today’s Monday Mini I wanted share some thoughts on a few of my underrated reads from 2024.

Well hello there pocket friends! I’m dusting off the old blog once again – I can’t believe it’s been literally 9 months since I last posted. Well okay yes I can, I’ve always been Not Great at consistently posting on here. Maybe that will change in 2025? No promises though. In any case, I made a list of 2025 book releases that I wanted to share on here! I’ve already posted it on Instagram, so you may have seen it there. Here I’ll add the Goodreads links for you too, so you can easily add them to your shelves if you want to 😉. So let’s dive in!

Trans Book Recs!

March 31, 2024 by Mackenzie 4 Comments

Did you know that today, March 31st, is Transgender Day of Visibility? It is a day dedicated to celebrating trans people and raising awareness of the discrimination and violence that the trans community faces every day. To celebrate, I’m sharing a trans book rec list that I posted on my bookstagram a few days ago! You can find the specific post here on Instagram (and it is on Twitter/X here). These are books that feature trans characters or are written by trans authors (and here I am including nonbinary identities under the term trans). I’ve included a good mix of books I’ve read and books on my TBR, and have a few upcoming releases as well! So let’s get to the list!!

23′ and Me: The Books That Made Me

January 30, 2023 by Mackenzie 27 Comments

I know that not all of us have been readers since we were tiny humans. Not all of us were lucky enough to have that exposure! I was one of those fortunate enough to start reading very early, as my parents are both big readers. My friend Brooke (who I met on Bookstagram) is also someone who started reading early. To celebrate that, and the books we read as youngsters, she create a rereading challenge for 2023. It is called “23 and Me – The Books That Made Me.” It’s about rereading the books that were super formative for you! The information post from Brooke is below, along with the specific prompts.
