Looking for a Diverse Book Box? A marginsbox Unboxing + Review!

Hi y'all! Today I'm so excited to feature one of my favorite bookish small businesses: marginsbox! I've known about marginsbox for a while now since they did a Kickstarter to kick off the business a few months ago. And May was their first month of boxes, so I'm really excited to be able to feature …

#MailboxMonday: A Photo Journey of the Book Mail I’ve Forgotten to Share

I always feel really lucky to receive a lot of amazing bookmail--both from friends, authors, publishers, and giveaways. There's always an inner battle for me between thanking the person (and I am so grateful to be able to read these amazing books) and trying to not flaunt my privilege in a way, especially because I …

What Do I Have Checked Out From the Library? (Spoiler: An Obscene Amount of Books)

Really. It's true. I am The Worst™ at resisting library books, and I'm fortunate enough to be one of those people who live near a well-stocked and well-updated library. (So I can support authors! For free!) This is why I have almost 30 books checked out from the library, and also why I have to …

Over 35 Books!: June & July 2018 Book Haul (minus Book Con): Part 1

These past two months were so crazy in books that I had to split this post in two, can you believe it?! I didn't want to bombard you all with 35+ books and chatting about all of them in one post, so I split it up & this post is all about the books I …

More than 45 Books, Oh My!: April & May 2018 Book Haul

Y'know, I've been putting off this post for a while now because of the big glaring question: "Vicky, isn't this post just a little bit hypocritical of you?" Yes and no. Yes because making large book hauls a standard is generally harmful & continues to perpetuate the American standard of owning physical books. You don't …

January, February, March 2018 Book Haul

Wow. I did not expect to receive this many books in the past three months. I honestly thought that once the holidays slowed down, my book haul would too. But apparently that wasn't the case. I just want to preface this with the idea that if you feel like you're any less of a blogger/reader/creator …

2017 December Book Haul (over 25 books!)

I'm not one to do book hauls, but I felt like I just had to do one because I got so many great books this December that I want to share with y'all. A big reason I don't usually do book hauls is because of the fact that I always feel the need to emphasize that you--as …
