One of my reading goals for 2020 was to read more middle grade books, and I like to think I’ve succeeded in that goal. The middle grade books I’ve read this year have been some of the best I’ve ever read, and they span the gamut in terms of different types of books. I have […]
If we’re honest, I think most bookwyrms have long ago realized that the thing that’s most likely to do them in is their TBR. It seems only fitting, I suppose, given the amount of time we’ve spent avoiding it, adding to its woe, and simply pretending it wasn’t that angry and a few more books […]
Listen. I don’t know how we got here, but 2020 is apparently already half over, and if you’ll just check your bingo cards for this year, I really just need zombies, giant asteroid, stomach-eating parasite, or vampire pigs flying to win this round. So if any of you can make any of that happen, let’s […]
If a group of crows can be called a murder, I officially dub a bunch of ARCs to be an assassination. Think about it. It totally fits, right? They sneak up on you. You start with one ARC, maybe two, maybe three … and then suddenly there’s 30 and it’s a hulking black mass in […]
Psst. I have a secret. Okay, I have lots of secrets, but I refuse to tell you where the bodies are, so you’ll have to settle for this: I started Goodreads in 2017, and I haven’t touched by Want To Read shelf since. Well, except to add more books, obviously. Phew, it feels good to […]
Today I want to give some love to books that I haven’t read yet (but obviously should have, if I weren’t such a slacker). By now, it shouldn’t surprise you in the least bit that my TBR is just full of different flavors of fantasy … but yes, fantasy, nonetheless. I am super extra pro […]
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 […]
TBR Status: 2 1/2 books shy of rising up and becoming a brutal overlord. As such, I’ve tried to slow down my book acquisition accordingly. The operative word there being trying. I never said succeeding, because … well, here we are, right? I also totally confess that I have a stack of books that I […]
