I feel like novellas are really trending lately, and why shouldn’t they? Sometimes readers are busy (rare, but sure, nerds have lives too) and there’s nothing better than a short, bite-sized book to satisfy your reading needs. I confess that I used to have my doubts about novellas, too. How can an author possibly tell […]
It’s that time of year! You know the one. Where I have to somehow narrow 170 books down to, like, a couple dozen to present you with my favorite reads from the past year. Nothing like providing me with Herculean feats, right? I’m pretty sure I should get, like, demigod powers after this. Just saying. […]
It’s that time of year! Today is Valentine’s Day, when love is in the air amongst all those hopeful singles and new couples who still have something to prove. To translate that for all you old married couples like hubby and I, it’s time to argue over who has to take the offspring to her […]
You know what all these books have too much of? Words. More books with pictures! *Thor-smashes mug* Specifically, I’m talking about manga and graphic novels. Because someone has to! I feel like these are things that tend to get overlooked. Especially now that I work at a library, I see first-hand what a bad rap […]
Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly bookish meme created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and is now hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits! Each Friday, there is a discussion topic for bloggers to write about, which I post on Saturday because, pffft, what even is time anyway. This week’s Let’s Talk Bookish topic is a freebie, […]
It seems that 2022 is officially . . . *checks notes* . . . over? Huh. Well, I guess we all know what time it is now, right? No, I’m not talking about party time (which should be passed by now, as New Year’s was days ago, so it’s time to wrap it up!). I […]
There’s something uniquely special about your first time. Something that can’t be replicated, no matter how many times you try to capture it again. I’m talking about books, of course. You can re-read a beloved book as many times as you want (and honestly, you should, because why not) but it’s still never quite the […]
In case you’ve somehow missed the news, we’re kind of currently in a pandemic and not particularly able to travel anywhere of consequence. But have no fear! That’s what books are for, right? If you’re like me and read a lot of fantasy, you tend to travel all the time anyway, mostly to worlds you […]
I think it’s no secret by now that I love reading. I mean, this is my book blog, after all. And chances are you’re here because you enjoy reading, too. So maybe this post is a little bit preaching to the choir. The thing is, though, that working as a librarian, I run into a […]
This month is Pride Month, which I figure means I should do at least one listicle post about all the wonderful LGBTQ+ books I’ve read (and some still on my TBR). Because phew, there are a lot of great LGBTQ+ books that deserve some love. One of my bookish goals last year was to read […]
