We ask these three W’s:What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next?

Before we get started, I assume everyone is familiar with the speed dating concept, right? Totally gonna admit I’ve never done it, because I met my husband when I was four … not that we knew it then, of course. Not like I was scoping him out and grooming him for marriage. No, I tormented […]
If we’re honest, I think most bookwyrms have long ago realized that the thing that’s most likely to do them in is their TBR. It seems only fitting, I suppose, given the amount of time we’ve spent avoiding it, adding to its woe, and simply pretending it wasn’t that angry and a few more books […]
TBR Status: There’s empty space! Quick, fill it, before it changes its mind. Listen. Things happened this month. Books were ordered. Mistakes were made. It is what it is.

Reading is subjective, and it really comes down to the Wizards of Marketing, who all gather in a secret location, brew something tasty (or possibly disastrous, […]
It’s been storming a lot lately here, which is the perfect time for some spectacularly creepy reads. Creeptacular reads, if you’ll forgive the pun.
