Setting Goals for 2025 to make this the best year yet

KailiLeave a comment

For as long as I can remember, I have always created goals for the new year. Most of the time, I would keep working on my goals until maybe February, and then I would stop. Maybe you are the same way but for me, I always got discouraged. It all started fun and then I would get bored with it and then stop. Are you the same way? I’m sure some of you are!

Books about video games that you should add to your TBR

KailiLeave a comment

Books about video games is a post that I have been wanting to make for a while now but I have been putting it off. I’m not even sure why but it’s a post that I have been struggling to push myself to make. I think that’s mostly because I wasn’t sure if there would be any interest in it.

But now I’m just saying f-it because I know if I have an interest in it then I’m sure others do too.

If you love horror books then you are in the right place! This is one of my favorite posts that I have been able to make, mostly because I’m a big horror fan and I’m discovering books that I haven’t come across yet. So far these are the best horror books of 2024 that I have come across and are highly rated.

If this is a post that you want to stay up to date with then make sure to subscribe to our newsletter because we will be coming back periodically to update this list and add more books to it when needed!

I haven’t heard of many of these, but it seems like many people are interested in them, especially with the high ratings!

Horror books for kids that are perfect for Halloween

KailiLeave a comment

Is your kid starting to show an interest in horror books? There are tons of horror books for kids out there that are perfect for their age group. I started to show an interest in horror books and movies at a very young age. Instead of watching and reading age-appropriate, I started to read and watch pretty adult horror things.

It looks like September is going to be a good month when it comes to new releases. I’m so excited for the ones that I found. These September 2024 book releases are ones you’re going to have to add to your TBR (to be read).

Quite a few of these books seem thrilling and creepy and I know I’m going to enjoy them!

I wish I had known about these sooner so I could have gotten an advanced copy, but maybe I can still get them for Christmas!

Sure, here’s a more active version of that sentence:

Dark Fairy Tales you HAVE to add to your TBR

KailiLeave a comment

Growing up I always loved fairy tales. They took you to a different world and I loved that about them. I don’t think that will ever change. Now that I’m older I kind of want something darker and not so happy through the entire book. Hence why I’m creating this post on dark fairy tales. I just hope you guys feel the same way!
