Having just spent a week participating in the Bout of Books read-a-thon … I have books to review! Surprise! Probably not much of a surprise, but hey, it’s the thought that counts, right? I only ended up reading four out of the seven books I had lined up, but that’s more than I expected to, so […]
My husband’s been trying to get me to read this book for, like, five years because he said I’d like it … and he was so right. But shhh, don’t tell him. His head’s big enough without further inflating his ego. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure he’s officially become my wingman on finding […]
It’s every reader’s nightmare: you’re staring at your perfectly good TBR pile, but you just can’t. For whatever reason, you pick up a book, read a page, and decide nah. There’s just not that spark. You’re not falling in love the way you should. Have no fear, because with this list, I’ll introduce you to some fantastic […]
It may surprise exactly none of you that I am a big sucker for read-a-thons. Something about books and throwing caution to the wind so you can read as much as humanly possible in a set amount of time. It sounds totally exciting, right? Well, this week, from Monday through Sunday, will be the Bout of Books […]
I picked this up because I’d heard good things from so many people, but I thought meh … and guys, I WAS SO WRONG. I’ll admit, meh is probably not a good attitude to have going into a book, but I’m only human. Mostly. For now. I was totally not prepared for how much I […]
I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that if you’re here, you like books to some extent. I mean, you may not exactly be a book dragon, atop your hoard of manuscripts, but clearly, you’ve got some vested interest somewhere. Fear not, though! There are others like you! Well, maybe not quite like […]
This book is my new favorite, and therefore, everyone should read it, because my heart shouldn’t be the only one that’s broken. I’ve heard only good things about Fredrik Backman, but this is actually the first book I’ve read of his, and I was not disappointed. Actually, I plan on reading all his work. If […]
Wish Our Hearts Away is a coming-of-age book with a really unique twist on the age-old adage of “be careful what you wish for.” I’m not just saying that because I know the author, even though I do. Which you should know before I get into it, although it’s not influenced my review at all. […]
Sometimes you think, gosh, these two books are just perfect for each other; I should set them up and it’ll be the best meet-cute ever. I, of course, immediately thought of Frankenstein, as you do. In my defense, Frankenstein is cooler and is allowed to play with sharp objects. For some reason, people keep taking […]
You smell that lovely aroma? Yup, that’s new blog smell. The Writerly Way officially has its own domain and thank goodness. I can do all the things now. So many of them. It has opened up all new ways to procrastinate blog. So what does this mean for you? Nothing. Hopefully. If everything has gone as […]
