It’s 2019! Huzzah! You know what that means. That’s right, denying our own mortality and convincing ourselves that we can totally make it through our TBR before we die, because it’s definitely a reasonable amount of books. Right? Right. Since we’ve got that out of the way, we can add one or two or ten […]
So, in case you missed it, I had a birthday a couple weeks ago, which means … you guessed it … MORE BOOKS. Because I obviously didn’t have enough, and if you can’t buy more books for your birthday, when can you?! Also, it’s probably the only time of year my husband actually gives me […]
I like to think of myself as a pretty avid fangirl, when I want to be, but let’s face it: I’m not perfect. Shocking, right? It’s okay. Take deep breaths. I’m sorry I gave you such a fright, but it had to be said. I have a deep, dark confession. Come closer. Closer. Whoa, no, […]
The short list: all of them. Whoa, wow, that was quick and efficient. Okay. I guess we have time for ice cream or something? This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is Fall TBR* lists! Because our TBRs aren’t weeping enough, and there’s no such thing as too many books. And if you repeat that mantra enough […]
It probably comes as no surprise to you, but there are SO. MANY. BOOKS. Probably too many to get through in a lifetime (or so I’ve been told). Which means, regrettably, there are good books out there that don’t get as much attention, through no fault of their own. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is […]
Regardless of what you’re graduating from—high school, college, AA, your unhealthy obsession with pens—books can provide you with much-needed life lessons. Like talking swords are the best, and also maybe don’t trust assassins. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is school-themed bookish shenanigans. When I got to thinking about what I wish school had prepared me for, […]
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 […]
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 […]
I read a lot of fantasy, you know, as you do, and there are two things that are generally what catch my eye first: title and cover. Yes, because I’m shallow. Hey, I didn’t say they were the only things. Given that, I’ve read a lot of titles, and it strikes me that there tend to […]
A book calls to you on a shelf, and unable to turn from the siren song, you pick it up. Four books and two days later, you blink and realize you have to stumble your way back into the “real” world, which is disappointingly devoid of magic, and they get mad when you stab people, […]
