I read this back in May! Can you believe it? I’m so behind on things. My friend who I buddy-read it with is even more behind — she still hasn’t finished it yet, and we… More| Zezee With Books

I’m in the mood to do a book tag, so I’m doing the Nope Book Tag, which I think was created by the booktuber the Farah Project (looks like the video was taken down). NOPE.… More| Zezee With Books

It’s been a while since I’ve done a review of any kind — not since July, actually. I have a huge backlog, and since the point of this blog is to reflect on everything I… More| Zezee With Books
Unexpected indeed. I thought I wouldn’t be doing one of these again until maybe the end of the year, but then I got me some books. Not many. And this haul may indeed be the last for some time. Purc…| Zezee With Books
Time to do a book tag! I enjoy the treasure-hunt type of tags and was happy to come across this one over on the Wicked Witch’s Blog, run by Janette. It was created by booktuber… More| Zezee With Books
I’m late to this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, but I wanted to participate, so here’s my post. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Art…| Zezee With Books
Let’s chat about the characters I hung out with last year. It’s now become tradition to do this tag every year, making it perfect for Book Tag Thursday. The tag was created by Amanda at A Brighter …| Zezee With Books
Last year, Pottermore collected and published in 3 separate e-books the supplemental texts J.K. Rowling had written about Hogwarts and the wizarding world and its people. Although I was curious abo…| Zezee With Books
May is here and so is my favorite bookish event of the year — Wyrd & Wonder. I’m excited to get started, unprepared as I am. My hope is to read a few books and manage to make a few posts, but b…| Zezee With Books
Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme created by Shanah, the Bionic Book Worm, and now hosted by Meeghan at Meeghan Reads. I didn’t do a post for this meme last week, so I’m doubling up this time. The top…| Zezee With Books
I’m not sure if that’s the best way to phrase my question, but it’s the closest I could get at what I’m trying to ask. I’m wondering what is it about reading horror stories that makes you scared. W…| Zezee With Books
So there I was on a recent warm summer evening, scrolling on Libby, when I saw that Nick Cutter’s The Troop was available at the library. Since I needed to get going on my Summer of Horror reading …| Zezee With Books
I came across this tag over on Rachel’s Life of a Female Bibliophile and immediately decided to give it a go too. It was created by Karla, a booktuber at Books and Other Nerdy Things, but the video…| Zezee With Books
It’s that time of year when I do mid-year check-in posts! I kicked things off two weeks ago with the Half-Year Book Tag, so it’s time to follow it up with the popular Mid-Year Book Freak-Out Tag, c…| Zezee With Books
I forgot how this book came to my attention. But it did, and I read it, and… GENRE Sci-Fi; Horror SERIES n/a PUBBED 2025 GOODREADS SUMMARY As World War III rages, the scientists in Antarctica are t…| Zezee With Books
Ah, my first five-star read of the year. I had a great time with this one and am looking forward to getting stuck in the next book when Emily (my buddy-reader in all things Hobb, Abercrombie, and B…| Zezee With Books
The books I read over the past few months have accumulated into a long backlog of unreviewed books — since I chat about everything I read. So I’ll group some in a few posts, like this one. These ar…| Zezee With Books
I haven’t done a book review since February, right around the time I completed this book. That’s not a big deal for most bloggers, but since I use this blog as a reading journal, it’s a big deal fo…| Zezee With Books
Whew! Boy did this book take a long time to finish. Toward the end, I began to get impatient with the narration, which focused most intensely on descriptions of the landscape. Though I understand t…| Zezee With Books
This is the first novel I’ve read by J.R.R. Tolkien, and I love it. This is the third time that I am reading the The Hobbit, and it is just as exciting and entertaining as the first. GENRE Cl…| Zezee With Books
Last year was all sort of topsy-turvy. I basically reread for half the year and battled various types of reading slumps and funks the majority of it. I DNF many books, or simply put them down and n…| Zezee With Books
A time was had in April. It was a fun month, though filled with lots of ups and downs, and I read much although I finished little. Let’s Rewind is my version of a monthly wrap-up but instead of tal…| Zezee With Books
It’s spring time 😄, which I’m happy for (despite suffering from allergy and sinus problems) since that means things are in bloom, outside is looking pretty, it’s getting warmer, and my houseplants …| Zezee With Books
So… I bought some books. Not a lot, although it might seem that way. These are all the books I’ve acquired since January. Let’s check ‘em out. (Links on the titles go to Goodreads.) PURCHASES PHYSI…| Zezee With Books
Can you believe the first quarter of the year is already done? Feels like it came and went quickly, and turbulently if you’re in my part of the world. Reading-wise, it was a decent quarter, a…| Zezee With Books
Y’all, I’ve completed a book. I didn’t expect this to happen in February since the month has proven to be very busy so far, but I gave in to getting this audiobook and quickly ran through it. Let’s…| Zezee With Books

This is new for me. I hardly ever write up a reflection so soon after completing a book. Usually I procrastinate, telling myself I’m letting the story marinate in my mind before prepping for its re…| Zezee With Books
I’ve decided to do something about the many series I’ve started and not thought about finishing. This year marks the beginning of my attempt to catch up on, complete, or give up on the many series …| Zezee With Books
Another thing I enjoy doing around this time of year is making reading plans and forming TBR lists. As you’d have seen, I sometimes stick to the plans, but I never stick to TBR lists, lol, no matte…| Zezee With Books
For a dozen years now, my plan has been to read Stephen King’s novels in publication order. My intent was to read at least one novel each year, but that didn’t pan out since I took an unplanned bre…| Zezee With Books
I took me a little break to get through the busyness of Thanksgiving, but hopefully I’m fully back now. (Fingers crossed) Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme created by Shanah, the Bionic Book Worm, and…| Zezee With Books
I’ve been holding out on chatting about my reading experience with this comic-book series because it didn’t go as well as I’d hoped. It was one of my favorite comics, and I still consider the first…| Zezee With Books
I’m late with this July wrap-up. But better late than never, eh? The quick of it is that July was HAWTTT and busy. Let’s Rewind is my version of a monthly wrap-up but instead of talking about only …| Zezee With Books
I read the first volume of this manga back in 2020 and enjoyed the story so much that I began collecting the volumes as they were released. It wasn’t until earlier this year, in March, to be exact …| Zezee With Books

I haven’t done a tag since May. Actually, I haven’t done many tags this year, which is a shame for me because I enjoy doing them. Have I lost the enthusiasm for such posts? I really hope not. Thoug…| Zezee With Books
I’ve been procrastinating on sharing my thoughts about this graphic novel that I read back in April. They were marinating in the back of my mind. Krishna: A Journey Within by Abhishek Singh (illus.…| Zezee With Books
The second quarter of the year was marked by rereads, as the majority of books below are rereads. My motivation to read and blog waned some this quarter, so I turned to rereads to prevent any slump…| Zezee With Books
Ha! We’re halfway through June and I’m just now getting around to my May wrap-up. I haven’t been in a blogging mood lately and needed a bit of a break — I guess I blogged too much last month. Let’s…| Zezee With Books
This month, I’m participating in a monthlong celebration of all thing fantasy, Wyrd & Wonder, and one of its activities is Fantastic Fives, where you’re given a prompt that you can discuss/post…| Zezee With Books
