The best part of being a member of the bookish community: reading challenges! Because it’s not like we have enough on our plates, of course, with reading all the books and posting reviews and raving about all our favorite characters. Every now and then, we realize our TBR judging has reached critical capacity, and we […]
Guys. I started blogging in January of 2018, and it’s already 2020 now. Quick, someone sound the alarm. Obviously, the Earth has strayed from its orbit and ventured too close to a black hole or something. It seems like just yesterday when I was stumbling around WordPress, trying to decide what the heck I was […]
Every job has its perks and shortcomings, and working in a library is really no different. Except for being surrounded by all the books and sitting there all day listening to them hiss, “Pick meeee,” and totally judging you when you don’t. Technically, I’m NOT a librarian, per se (not certified, anyway). I’m just the […]
The question that has plagued book bloggers since the dawn of the Internet: to post or not to post negative reviews? At some point, every blogger needs to make this decision for themselves, and sometimes it’s a tough one. Everyone approaches it differently, and none of them are definitively “Right,” just right for that blogger. […]

I hope you’ve got some tea, lovelies, because it’s just about time to spill it.* * No actual tea will be spilled during this post, because ain’t nobody got time for that mess. Unless you’ve got cats. And then … well, there’s a 50/50 chance. I’ll pray for you and your tea. This week’s Top […]
Right off the bat, I want to make it clear that I’m not talking about Marvel or DC or any of the popular heroes we’ve come to know and love. Even though we do, obviously, love them. And regardless of what Edna from The Incredibles thinks, capes are sexy and 100% recommended. I mean, if […]
The greatest thing about books: words! All the best words. It’s kind of hard to have one without the other. That’s just sort of how it works. Or so I’m told. The best books stay with you long after you’ve finished them and have been rudely ejected from their world and callously dumped back into […]
We all know that books are magic. Sometimes it’s for good, and sometimes it’s for evil. And sometimes just because it’s fun. Which makes writers their hunch-backed, coffee-addicted, addle-brained assistants who are forced to stay up all night digging up dead bodies. Again. … wait. I think I mixed up those metaphors. But you know […]
It’s time again to ask ourselves the three W’s:What constitutes too much coffee in a day?Who says I can’t have just one more cup?Why is all the coffee gone? Wait, no, that’s not right.
