My 2022 in Books: What I Read and Loved

Image of books in library. Text overlay reads: My 2022 in Books: What I Read and Loved

Reading has always been my favorite hobby. Ever since the pandemic started in 2020, I’ve leaned into reading, hard, as the best form of self-care. According to Goodreads, I’ve read more new books during the last three years than I ever did before. 66 books (23,532 pages) in 2020 68 books (23,111 pages) in 2021… [Read More]

What I’ve Been Reading Lately // Beyond the Four Kingdoms by Melanie Cellier

Text overlay reads: "What I've Been Reading Lately Beyond the Four Kingdoms Reviewed"

To celebrate my birthday month, I’ve been rereading the fairy tales I discovered last summer. First I reread the The Four Kingdoms by Melanie Cellier, which I reviewed last year. Then I started on Beyond the Four Kingdoms. I own all of these retold fairy tales on Kindle, and I’m tempted to buy them all… [Read More]

Like I mentioned last week, I’ve been reading a lot of fairy tale retellings lately. This is one of my all-time favorite book genres, so indulging in these fairy tales has been a great form of self-care during lockdown. As much as I loved The Andari Chronicles, The Four Kingdoms series by Melanie Cellier is even… [Read More]

What I’ve Been Reading Lately // The Andari Chronicles

Text overlay reads: "What I've Been Reading Lately The Andari Chronicles Reviewed"

I have read a ridiculous number of retold fairy tales over the last two months. Like… well over a dozen fairy tale retellings, between books and novellas, from three distinct authors. The first set of retold fairy tales I devoured is The Andari Chronicles by Kenley Davidson. I haven’t written any book reviews in awhile,… [Read More]

My 2019 in Books: What I Read and Loved

2019 was another year for the books! This recap covers everything I read in 2018 with reviews and recommendations, plus reading goals for 2019. | Belle Brita

While I didn’t meet my Goodreads goal of 36 (new) books, I still challenged myself as a reader in 2019. I also accomplished my overall goal of working through books I already owned, which is easier said than done! Most importantly, I had fun reading, which should be the primary goal anyway. I did slack… [Read More]

June 2019 Goals // May Recap

June calendar flat-lay. Text overlay reads: "Goals"

I swear this year is flying by! Wasn’t it March just a few days ago? How can it possibly be June already? Not that I’m complaining. My birthday month is my favorite month! I have so many plans to celebrate! But first, let’s reflect on May. May was a pretty good month, although I still… [Read More]
