So some of you may remember that I absolutely loved the YA contemporary fantasy novel The Hearts We Sold by Emily Lloyd-Jones. (Some of you probably remember that mostly because I recommend it to you every chance I get and will not stop until you read it.) So when I found out that Emily was…
Book Review: Stolen Time by Danielle Rollins
Well, hello again, friends. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted just a straight up, traditional book review, so what better book to jump back in with than Stolen Time? Pretty much everyone knows that I’m a huge fan of The Merciless series, which was written by Danielle Rollins under her pen name, Danielle…
Book Review: The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
I’m back! And I’m back with a vengeance, because this review has been a long time coming and I have a lot to say, and some of it may come across a little…erm…let’s say “strong-willed”. Much like the main character of this book, actually. The Hazel Wood is a contemporary fantasy novel by Melissa Albert…
Bookish Unpopular Opinions
Do you like unpopular opinions? Well, then you’re in luck, because I am FULL OF THEM. Like, for example, I loved Krystal on The Bachelor. And not just because she made for good entertainment, I legitimately loved her. She was my number one pick from day one. I wanted her to win. But that’s…

If you’re wondering what…
September OwlCrate Unboxing
This September’s OwlCrate theme was Mythical Creatures, and they successfully proved that everyone loves mythical creatures when the box completely sold out! I was lucky enough to receive this box for free after winning a free box in OwlCrate’s July Photo Challenge on Instagram! They do it every month and it’s a lot of fun.…
August Book Haul
So in late June and most of July I went *a tad bit crazy* with book buying, so my August book haul is a smaller one, because, you know, life is all about balance…and because I’d like for my TBR to not fall and crush me to death in my sleep. I don’t ask for…
May Book Haul
May has come and gone, meaning not only has Samsara Parchment been alive for one month now (happy birthday, blog!), but it’s also time to do a May Book Haul! So without further ado, let’s take a look at the books I picked up over the month of May. 1. Into the Water by Paula…
