Happy April Fools’ Day, y’all! Don’t worry, I won’t be pulling any pranks on you! Well . . . I can’t promise I won’t slip a book or two into your TBR when you’re not looking. But to be fair, I would also do that any other day of the year, too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I haven’t […]
I’ll be honest: I had to read this prompt three times before it fully sunk in that it is now spring of the dumpster fire that is 2025. But I’m pretty sure it was only January, like, two days ago? And look at all these lovely books that I was definitely going to read at […]
I know I’ve been rather . . . absent . . . on the blogger scene for a while. But you know what that means? LOTS of time to build up my TBR! Which yeah, sure, okay, I maybe shouldn’t be bragging about that. But surely nothing bad can come of it. Best of all, […]
I have long given up on TBRs in favor of Possibility Piles: these magical hoards of books that contain all the inevitable potential and excitement of fresh, unread books. Unlike a TBR, Possibility Piles have no real structure or limitations; they exist in the same perfect liminal chaos in which most of us bookwyrms live […]
I think it’s probably no surprise by now that books have a habit of sort of languishing, shall we say, on my TBR. Chilling. Taking their time. Enjoying the view. And speaking of enjoying the view, it’s probably also no surprise that many of them end up there thanks to their stunning cover. I mean, […]
It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE books that involve superpowers. Any sort of superpower, whether it’s the traditional superhero book or magic or just amazing people who are obviously superheroes whether they know it or not. It may surprise some of you, but I’m a very normal, non-super human. Trust me, no one’s more […]
Romantasy is what you get when romance and fantasy begrudgingly set aside their rivalry and make a love-child that blends magic with stabbiness . . . but in a steamy way? I confess that I used to think that romantasy wasn’t my thing, even though it’s hard to imagine that was ever the case. Because […]
I feel like novellas are really trending lately, and why shouldn’t they? Sometimes readers are busy (rare, but sure, nerds have lives too) and there’s nothing better than a short, bite-sized book to satisfy your reading needs. I confess that I used to have my doubts about novellas, too. How can an author possibly tell […]
New years mean different things to everyone. Sometimes new resolutions. Sometimes the marking of new opportunities. And sometimes just one step closer in the march to the endless, inevitable void that some call the future. But for bookwyrms? New years mean new books, which means new authors to discover! Also, maybe (probably) some of the […]
Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme, hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits, where we discuss certain topics, share our opinions, and spread the love by visiting each other’s posts. This week’s Let’s Talk Bookish topic is books to read by the fire . . . which of course always makes me think of cozy […]
