white skull table decor for
September 18, 2022 by Mackenzie 10 Comments

If you know me and my reading tastes, you know that I will read any and all books that involve necromancy or bone magic. Fall is slowly creeping up on us – very slowly, in my case (desert life…). And obviously necromancy and bone magic are both pretty spooky! So I decided to compile a short list of books that involve one or the other! I bet you can guess one or two of the ones I’m going to include haha. Read on to see if you guessed correctly!

June 22, 2022 by Mackenzie No Comments
the happy place five description image for 5 queer favs post

Happy pride month everyone! For this month’s The Happy Place 5 post, we of course had to choose a topic centered on queer books. We chose to highlight our 5 queer favs from the last 5 years! I both love and hate this topic. Love because obviously I love highlighting queer books, and there are so many amazing books to choose from. Hate because THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING BOOKS TO CHOOSE FROM. It’s painful to only choose one book from each year hahaha. Plus so many of my favs were actually published in the same year. So just know that obviously I have way more favs than just these 5 haha. But now on to my actual picks!!

Pondathon II: Final Summary!

June 9, 2022 by Mackenzie 2 Comments

The second Pondathon has now come to an end! Okay fine, it ended like 3+ weeks ago but I’ve been in a blogging slump. So I’m just now posting my final summary for Pondathon II. Time isn’t real! I can post things whenever I want! Anyway, I had so much fun with this readathon. I read so many amazing books, and had a BLAST creating my garden. Just wait until you see my final garden at the end!!

A few notes:

  • All of the Pondathon graphics were created by CW of The Quiet Pond and belong to her!
  • Find my intro post about joining Pondathon II here!

The Happy Place 5: A Book Character Tea Party

May 21, 2022 by Mackenzie No Comments
THP5 description: 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. Post: Book character tea party

Look, we all know I’m not the best at being consistent with blogging haha. May has been a busy month for me – friends in town, catching COVID….etc. But now it’s blogging time again baby!! Today (May 21st) is International Tea Day so we decided to create a book character tea party. Which if you think about it, is actually quite difficult! Because a lot of characters out there, at least in SFF, are not ummm well-suited to attending a calm tea party haha. Do you think you can guess any of my attendees? Here’s a hint in the form of the books I chose from.
