My 2019 Non-bookish Favorites (Part 2) // more internet links and even more tv shows!

Happy New Year!

Wow, *ᴵ ᴴᴬᵛᴱᴺ’ᵀ ᴾᴼˢᵀᴱᴰ ˢᴵᴺᶜᴱ ᵀᴴᴱ ᴸᴬˢᵀ ᴰᴱᶜᴬᴰᴱ!

—i also haven’t posted in two months, but that’s not as fun to acknowledge so whoops let’s not—

Ah, how history repeats itself. Just like last year, I am /very/ late to the cumulative, end-of-the-year wrap-ups. I recognize the blogosphere is probably over-saturated with everyone’s favorites of the past year—and now decade—but, somewhere in my ꜱᴍᴀʟʟ, ᴅᴀʀᴋ corner of the web, my Non-Bookish Favorites of 2019 (Part 1) is sitting alone and lonely. We can’t have that 🙅‍♀️. So, here’s the long, not-particularly awaited second half of my 2019 non-bookish favorites!

*I have to admit that I’m a sucker for those lame New Years jokes. Like, saying you’ll see someone next year on New Year’s Eve? Classic 👌.

Non-Bookish Favorites of 2019 (Part One) // from internet links to trips!

I’m in a reading slump.

This time it’s not because I’m not interested in reading or haven’t been able to start a good book (I’ve actually been reading Feed by Mira Grant on and off for the past two weeks, and I really like it so far!). Lately, I’ve been more interested in other hobbies and life things (cause binge-watching TV shows is totally a hobby).

¡FUN GAME! take a shot every time you read “bookish” 🥂 in this post!!

Since I haven’t been in the bookish mindset, I thought it would be fun to share some of the non-bookish things I’ve been enjoying this year. If you’re like, “ᴛʜɪs ɪs ɴᴏᴛ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪ sɪɢɴᴇᴅ ᴜᴘ ғᴏʀ, ʙᴇʟʟᴇ—ɪ ᴇxᴘᴇᴄᴛ ᴍᴇᴅɪᴏᴄʀᴇ, ɪʀʀᴇɢᴜʟᴀʀʟʏsᴄʜᴇᴅᴜʟᴇᴅ ʙᴏᴏᴋɪsʜ ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇɴᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɪ ᴄᴀɴ sᴄʀᴏʟʟ ᴘᴀsᴛ!,” then let me redirect you to My Favorite Books of 2019 (Part 1) post (also, friend, that was so aggressive and unnecessary 😭).

My Favorite Books of 2019 (Part 1)

Happy Fourth of July to all my U.S.A. readers!

We’re well past this year’s halfway mark, and with that, I’m happy to announce that I’m actually ahead of my Goodreads Reading Challenge of reading fifty books in 2019. This time last year I was flailing around, trying to catch up with my annual reading goal by hosting a personal Post-Mid Year Freak out Read-a-thon. It seems that the same strategy I usually employ to catch up on my reading goal—picking shorter books and reading contemporary fluff—helped put me ahead of schedule. Ultimately though, it was the huge chunks of time I’ve had being in the waiting since I graduated combined with a streak of great book recommendations that allowed me to stay on top of the challenge.

It’s time to pay it forward by highlighting the best of the great book recommendations that I read. Here are my favorite books of 2019 (so far):
