Hello again, everyone! It's been quite a while since I've been on this blog, and I really missed the book blogging community. That being said, I'm hoping to get back into the swing of blogging again. This blog has been really helpful to me in more ways than one since I started it, and today… Continue reading How Book Blogging Changed the Way I Interact with the Internet
Author: Ivy @ Raine Reads
Hello! My name is Ivy, and I created this blog as an outlet for all my bookish thoughts and opinions.
I’ve been a devoted reader for as long as I can remember. My favorite reads are young adult, mystery, contemporary, or psychological thrillers. I love looking for new ways to push myself out of my comfort zone.
When my head’s (nose isn’t) not in a book, you can probably find me with my earbuds in listening to podcasts or my latest favorite songs. In my free time I like to perform with my show choir, procrastinate on schoolwork, cuddle with my dog, or gush about my latest reads. I’m always looking for new recommendations, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
My Favorite Young Adult Thrillers
I am a huge reader of thrillers. My obsession with the genre began when I read Gone Girl in 2014 (which is NOT young adult and I was a tad young for, but that's a different story), and it hasn't stopped since. While I do usually prefer to read in the adult category for this… Continue reading My Favorite Young Adult Thrillers

January Wrap Up
Yikes, January was not the greatest reading month for me. I really just did not have the motivation to read all month, and trying to figure out where reading time could fit into my new class schedule really cut down my books for the month. On top of that, I had a pretty steady rate… Continue reading January Wrap Up

How to Read More in College
If I had a dollar for every time I heard I wouldn't have time to read for pleasure in college, I'd have enough money to buy a lot more books. Here's the thing, I won't pretend that I don't have a lot less time to read now with all the schoolwork and studying required in… Continue reading How to Read More in College
