TBR Status: 1.5 books past DEFCON-1. May Cthulhu be with you all. Remember when I said I was slowing down my book acquisition? HAHAHAHAHAHA. To be fair, I did slow it down … but maybe not as slow as I’d had in mind? On the physical front, I’ve mostly been doing pretty well. But on […]
Wait. Do mermaids count as fish? Hmm. Oh well. I’m going with it. Look, I was obviously going to do this readathon, to support the two fabulous women who created it, Leelynn @ Sometimes Leelynn Reads and Mir @ FangirlPixieBlog. Lucky for me, this also sounds like a heck of a lot of fun, so […]
As per my normal brand, I am completely late with jumping on this readathon. It’s only partly my fault. Okay, completely my fault, but at least the reasons are good this time. I don’t have a great history of follow-ups when it comes to readathons. I love the idea, and I eagerly join, but when […]
If you’ve been part of the bookish community for any time at all, you’ve suffered from the struggle that is FOMO. In laymen’s terms, that’s Fear Of Missing Out. It happens a lot with hyped books, especially, because there has to be a reason why everyone loves it, right?! What if they all know something […]
I’ve come across many adults (myself included) who are interested in reading more middle grade books, but aren’t quite sure where to start. The why doesn’t really matter. Maybe they’re just interested in the age group and the whimsical, light-hearted content that’s hard to find in adult books. Maybe they’re reading to find books for […]
I’m not going to lie … being told to stay home until further notice and not go to work does sound a bit like an introvert’s dream come true. I’ve always said that I wanted to get paid to read books. For me, unfortunately, it’s not the case. I still have to go to work. […]
Listen. I’m not even going to pretend that this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is going to be anywhere near ten anything. I saw the prompt. I laughed at the prompt. My TBR rose up, laughed, and threatened my existence and everything I hold dear. It was a jolly good time. I usually at least try […]
“A book haul? You?!” I hear you say. And I get it, this is a shocking occasion. I don’t normally do book haul posts, because my book shopping habits can hardly be considered a haul. Sporadic, sure. Frugal, maybe. Barely existent, yeah, okay. But a haul? Surely not. Christmas is an exception, though, because that’s […]
It’s 2020, guys! And just to spite us, the publishing community continues to release amazing books that we have to read, thus enraging our ever-expanding TBRs. Somewhere in there is probably a plot to take over the world. And you know what? I’m fine with it, as long as they keep sending me the books. […]
It may come as no surprise to anyone who’s known me for longer than 30 seconds that I am incredibly picky. I mean when it comes to books, of course. I tend not to give a whole ton of five stars in a year, because … well, I’m terribly hard to please. To me, a […]
