Come, dearies, and prepare yourselves for an ugly truth about the TBR: sometimes, just sometimes, it’s a place books go to die. More of a book graveyard, really. Or maybe not die. That’s a bit dramatic. It’s more like purgatory. Eventually, they’ll be read. Probably. What I’m saying is sometimes books get put on my […]
It’s no secret at all that I’m really picky about the books I read. Am I a book snob? Pssh, yeah, okay, maybe a little. But that’s only because none of you slackers have unlocked the key to immortality yet, and for some reason I’m unable to read all the books in my lifetime. So […]
Look, I know Christmas is still months away, but it’s the early bookdragon who gets the book, right? I’m pretty sure that’s how that saying goes. So I love books. That’s no secret. But I also love not spending money on myself. I blame my Scots-Irish roots and also my grandmother, who I apparently inherited […]
Okay, sooo … that title’s a bit lofty, but I feel like I do so many TBR posts that I should open this one with a bang. Because why not? Obviously, I have no idea if everyone should read these books. Because I haven’t read them yet. Duh. But everyone should want to read these […]
1 summer. 3 months. 13 weeks. 91 days. 7,699 pages. The #20BooksofSummer Challenge is hosted by Cathy at 746 Books. The gist: from June 3 until September 3, attempt to read 20 books this summer. And maybe keep your sanity. But that’s optional, really. Since I forfeited my sanity a long time ago (if I […]
It’s no secret that I love me some snark, with a side of sarcasm and maybe a hint of delicious banter. Nothing will convince me to read a book faster. And I don’t mean the bratty sort of sarcasm that comes naturally to children and teenagers. I mean the fine-tuned, sharpened, honed sort of wit […]
It’s time for a blast from the past! But, you know, in that really dorky way that only bookdragons can pull off. Because we’ve got to be good at something, and clearly this whole people thing isn’t working out, and it’s not looking great for having realistic expectations, either. Remember when you were young and […]
It’s time again to ask ourselves the three W’s:Who’s on first?What’s on second?What’s the left fielder’s name? Wait, no, that’s not right. 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? WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @Taking on a World […]
It’s time again to ask ourselves the three W’s:What’s all the hubbub, bub?What didja expect?Eh, what’s up, Doc? Wait, no, that’s not right. 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? WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @Taking on a […]
It’s no secret that I read A LOT of YA books, which tend to suffer from the dead or absent parent trope. Which, pragmatically, I understand, because what sane mother is allowing their child, chosen or otherwise, to take on dark lords, ride dragons, and put their lives on the line?! But as a mother […]
