If you’ve been part of the bookish community for any time at all, you’ve suffered from the struggle that is FOMO. In laymen’s terms, that’s Fear Of Missing Out. It happens a lot with hyped books, especially, because there has to be a reason why everyone loves it, right?! What if they all know something […]
Everyone knows the Jeff Foxworthy jokes that start with “you might be a redneck if …” right? If you don’t, look them up, because they’re funny and everyone could use a laugh right about now, I’d wager. I grew up on these jokes (spoiler alert: yes, I’m a redneck), so I jumped all over this […]
I’ve come across many adults (myself included) who are interested in reading more middle grade books, but aren’t quite sure where to start. The why doesn’t really matter. Maybe they’re just interested in the age group and the whimsical, light-hearted content that’s hard to find in adult books. Maybe they’re reading to find books for […]
Listen. I’m not even going to pretend that this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is going to be anywhere near ten anything. I saw the prompt. I laughed at the prompt. My TBR rose up, laughed, and threatened my existence and everything I hold dear. It was a jolly good time. I usually at least try […]
We all know that reading, in reality, is defined by spending approximately 96.29% of your time browsing Twitter and avoiding doing The Thing. But can you blame us, really? Twitter is where all the cool people hang out. It’s the source of endless new information about awesome new books out there. It’s full of sarcasm […]
Hold on to your TBRs, folks, because this ride’s about to get bumpy. You know, when I saw this topic, I didn’t immediately set out to crash everyone’s TBR party. Actually, I had no intentions whatsoever and thought this was going to be hard, and I groaned. But silly me. I should’ve known. There’s nothing […]
If there’s one thing bloggers are good at, it’s following people on social media. You know, because we get plenty of practice doing that instead of, like, writing blog posts and formatting our website and doing those nasty little things that we’re supposed to be doing. You can’t really call it procrastination, because social media […]
There’s nothing better (and worse) than reaching the end of a book, realizing there’s no more words, and being suddenly and rudely ejected back into the real world. You know, the place where there’s no dragons, no magic, and you’re required to … *shudders* adult. Ugh. I feel dirty even just saying it. Today’s Top […]
It has come to my attention that I love absolutely problematic, unhealthy pairings. The rougher, the better. I’m not talking about outright abuse. I’m talking about the pairing that you look at and go, “Oh, this is gonna be a dumpster fire,” so you grab the marshmallows and chocolate and a good seat where you […]
We’ve all got tropes that we are die-hard fans of and ones that have us running away screaming, heading for the hills. Why the hills, I don’t know. Why not the mountains? Or the caves? Hills have no strategic value. Who came up with this plan?! I mean … do I even hate these tropes […]
