One of my favorite things to do (because clearly, I have too much free time on my hands) is checking all the alternative covers on Goodreads for my favorite books. Different countries, different cover artists, different markets, and therefore, different covers. Sometimes they’re the same, or really similar, but sometimes I wonder why I’m forced […]
“A book haul? You?!” I hear you say. And I get it, this is a shocking occasion. I don’t normally do book haul posts, because my book shopping habits can hardly be considered a haul. Sporadic, sure. Frugal, maybe. Barely existent, yeah, okay. But a haul? Surely not. Christmas is an exception, though, because that’s […]
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 […]
It’s 2020, guys! And just to spite us, the publishing community continues to release amazing books that we have to read, thus enraging our ever-expanding TBRs. Somewhere in there is probably a plot to take over the world. And you know what? I’m fine with it, as long as they keep sending me the books. […]
It may come as no surprise to anyone who’s known me for longer than 30 seconds that I am incredibly picky. I mean when it comes to books, of course. I tend not to give a whole ton of five stars in a year, because … well, I’m terribly hard to please. To me, a […]
I’ve been a mostly good* girl this year, so I obviously deserve something special under the tree, right? * Assuming you don’t count all that other stuff, but pffft, who does? So, no coal in my stocking this year. Instead, I want to look forward to all the lovely books coming in 2020 whose ARCs […]
Psst. Allow me to tell you a secret: I’m horribly behind on my ARC reading. Okay, listen, I never said it was a great secret. Or even much of a secret. Hey! I hear you laughing there behind your screen. Fine, so everyone probably already knows that I’m a teensy bit behind and it’s not […]
For everyone who has ever wanted to both walk on the wild side but also off the beaten path … this is for you. Working at a library, I sometimes see some crazy titles go through, and so when How to Become a Federal Criminal popped up in our new section, it caught my eye. […]
It’s a metaphorical tree, because I have 10,000 animals and my house is a veritable zoo, but nevertheless, gather round, dearies, and I’ll show you what will be under it on December 24th, late in the evening, when the animals have all been put to bed. Dreams of sugar plums may or may not dance […]
With Thanksgiving this week in the US, it’s time to reflect on things you’re thankful for. And totally ignore the racism, colonization, and systematized slaughtering of an entire peoples just so you can take their land. But that’s not very festive, now is it? Possibly more in line with how you feel by the time […]
