I have long given up on TBRs in favor of Possibility Piles: these magical hoards of books that contain all the inevitable potential and excitement of fresh, unread books. Unlike a TBR, Possibility Piles have no real structure or limitations; they exist in the same perfect liminal chaos in which most of us bookwyrms live […]
Oh yeeeah, it’s time for Fall TBRs. You know what that means! Spooky stories, cozy romances, weird paranormal stuff, and, most importantly, a fresh start with a group of books that, let’s face it, you’ll probably completely ignore in favor of all the books that weren’t on your TBR. What? Just me? Pffft, I refuse […]
It’s a new year and you know what that means. New book releases! Which means, despite my best intentions, I will inevitably fall into the same old NetGalley trap. I did really well with cutting back on requesting books on NetGalley in 2022, but let’s be honest . . . there’s only so many new, […]
I’m honestly not sure how we’re here talking about fall reading lists when it was, like, just last week that we were making our spring ones, but apparently, time means nothing anymore? I can’t remember even what was on my summer TBR, because it somehow simultaneously feels like ten years ago and two days ago. […]
We’re midway through 2022 already, which means it’s time to take a moment, examine our surroundings, and reposition ourselves for where we want to be by the end of the year. Still haven’t found that secret to immortality yet? No worries. You’ve got six more months. Just need to take a step back and decide […]
It’s that time again: when I present you with a list of utterly irresistible books that I have every intention of reading soon, and we both pretend that I’m most definitely going to follow through with it. Because these books sound amazing, and who doesn’t want to read amazing books?! I’m pretty sure I’m doing […]
It’s time to play “guess that book” and also watch our TBRs weep. Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader and is all about the first line of a current/upcoming read. Friday 56 is a meme hosted by Freda’s Voice, where you turn to page 56 (or 56%) in what you’re reading a find a snippet that jumps […]
For those who may have missed it, I’ve been a little absent lately, doing this silly little thing called graduate school. -392/10 do not recommend! Okay, that’s a teensy bit of a lie. Graduate school has been a valuable experience, and it’s necessary for my job, and I highly recommend it if it’s something you […]
Hold on to your TBRs, bookwyrms, because there’s going to be a bit of rough sailing ahead. It’s that time again! By which I mean, of course, that we’re going to look at some fabulous upcoming releases in Fall 2021 that I absolutely cannot wait to read. I’m obviously not responsible for any overwhelm of […]
The sad truth is that even though I have overflowing bookshelves in my home library (because yes, it’s bad enough at this point to be called that), there are still more books I want to get my hands on. I’m 99.3485% sure this will forever and always be the case. That last remaining just under […]
