Come catch up with me and take a look at what I read this month as well as next month’s goals and events. After such an amazing month of reading in July, I am hardly surprised that August was rather lackluster. Keep your expectations extremely low as you scroll down, there’s not much to see…
The idea of seamlessly blending literary obsessions into daily life is basically the cornerstone of Cask & Quill. I’d like to live in a world where the line between my reading and the rest of my life is so blurry that it almost doesn’t exist. This can be a taller order than it might sound…
Have you ever pictured yourself sitting somewhere in the Italian countryside enjoying a sumptuous meal outside, passing bottles of wine across the table and laughing with friends? This is a common daydream of mine and a scene that I find so relaxing and full of the best that life has to offer. The goal of…
SPACE! Who isn’t fascinated by it? These nails are the perfect way to show off your love of spacey sci-fi and fantasy with the universe on your fingertips. There are many cool space scenes that you could try and if you’re feeling adventurous, why not give it a try? But I chose to show this…
Get ready to be impressed! July brought two read-a-thons that I participated in, totaling 9 consecutive days. Both the 24 in 48 read-a-thon (reading for 24 hours within 48 hours) and the BookTube-a-Thon (reading 7 books in 7 days) were incredibly fun. I got a teensy bit exhausted by the end, yes, but not enough that I’m…
As some of you may know, I decided recently to start a Booktube channel over on YouTube! It’s very new and I’m just getting the hang of things, but I happened to join just in time for Booktube-a-Thon 2017! This is an event created by Ariel Bisset for readers all over the world to read…
I recently entered the last year of my twenties and, like most on the cusp of thirty, I’m freaking out just a tiny bit. I’m more or less resigned to the fact that I will be thirty in a year’s time, whether I’m ready to be or not, and that the importance of your “twenties”…
Reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is one of the worst decisions that you can make if you are already hungry. And if you weren’t hungry already, you will be! Gilbert describes so much amazing food, particularly during her time in Rome. That’s largely what she goes there for! One of the many things she…
Even if you’ve been washed up from battle, rotting on a tiny island for goodness knows how long, the Lysene pirate, Salladhor Saan (from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire Series), has a treatment plan to put you right again. If you’re suffering from a summer cold or just plain feeling out…
Next Sunday, July 16, is the long-awaited premier of the seventh season of Game of Thrones on HBO! I’ve been putting out some GoT content to celebrate the occasion and even hosting a GoT challenge week on Instagram. But, since July 16 also happens to be my birthday, I’m also hosting a giveaway! Keep reading…
Feasting and drinking make such a nice backdrop for death and manipulation, don’t you agree? George R.R. Martin certainly thinks so, as evidenced by his A Song of Ice and Fire series. Have you ever been reading a page of his books and wanted to step through the page to help yourself to a turkey…
