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 […]
It was me, not you. Okay, maybe a little you. Really, we’re both a little to blame. Following my theme from last year, I gave myself permission to DNF any book that just wasn’t working for me, but I try to give them at least 15% to turn around. That seems like a fair shake […]
I’ve been a mostly good* girl this year, so I obviously deserve something special under the tree, right? * Assuming you don’t count all that other stuff, but pffft, who does? So, no coal in my stocking this year. Instead, I want to look forward to all the lovely books coming in 2020 whose ARCs […]
Psst. Allow me to tell you a secret: I’m horribly behind on my ARC reading. Okay, listen, I never said it was a great secret. Or even much of a secret. Hey! I hear you laughing there behind your screen. Fine, so everyone probably already knows that I’m a teensy bit behind and it’s not […]
It’s a metaphorical tree, because I have 10,000 animals and my house is a veritable zoo, but nevertheless, gather round, dearies, and I’ll show you what will be under it on December 24th, late in the evening, when the animals have all been put to bed. Dreams of sugar plums may or may not dance […]
Me, deciding whether to join: I mean, it’s not like I actually read nonfiction that often, so where will I even get book ideas from? Me, later, scouring my shelves: Where did all this nonfiction come from?! Must’ve been the aliens, those sneaky little buggers. To be fair, I actually didn’t know that philosophy and […]
It’s said that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover … but what about by its title? I mean, face it, those are the two things you first see about a book, and first impressions matter, regardless of what some people would have to believe. So that’s just what we’re going to do today, […]
It’s already that time of year for pumpkin foods, jack-o-lanterns, horror movies, and all the best creepy books. As such, Molly @ Silver Button Books is hosting Frightening Good Reads 2019, which focuses on reading all the best Halloweeny books during the season. Now that’s something I can totally get behind, which is why we’re […]
It’s no secret that I love books … and also hate numbers. But you know, sometimes the two coincide, and then I’m … conflicted? I mean, this is a Top Ten Tuesday post, so I imagine it was bound to happen eventually. Numbers mean things. Even more so when they happen to appear in titles. […]
In some brilliant marketing ploy to get us to buy all the books, the end of 2019 has a lot of must-read releases. I mean, what gives? I’ve petitioned to my bosses that they should just give me all of November off paid leave so that I have the necessary time to read all these […]
