Given that there are, like, 12592439258402954 more books than I’ll ever be able to read in this lifetime, at some point, I have to be a little picky about the books I pick up. So how exactly do I decide what’s worth reading? Now that’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? The age-old question that’s stumped […]
Sometimes you read a book, and you just instantly connect with a character on a spiritual level, and then slightly bemoan existence because they’re not real and what a waste of a perfectly good personality that is. … or is that just me? I know I’ve done several character posts in the past, like outrageous […]
One of the best things about books is that they have multiple versions of their cover. Unless, you know, you happen to live in the wrong area, and you don’t like your area’s version, so then you have to look for it overseas, only to find that it’s in a language you don’t speak. And […]
Now that I have officially finished the series, I will proceed to shout about it endlessly. You have been warned. So many people recommended The Illuminae Files by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff to me, but I kept putting off reading it for a few simple reasons: I’m stubborn and you can’t tell me what […]
There are always those elements in books that just leave you wanting more. You know, like dragons … or bacon. Totally not talking about cliffhangers, though. I mean, sure, they leave you wanting more, but I’m pretty sure no one’s advocating using them more in books. Our souls are already thoroughly shattered and frayed from […]
Sometimes there are books where you hit the last word and immediately run to Goodreads to see what else the author’s written that you can get your grubby little hands on. And then there are those times when you realize there’s nothing, or very little, and the Earth opens under you and swallows you up, […]
I know that we’re not technically supposed to root for the bad guy, but … let’s be honest. Sometimes, you just have to. How can you resist that suave charm or the take-charge attitude or the go-getter personality? Okay, sure, maybe they want to kill a couple hundred people on their quest, but think about […]
I’ve seen prediction posts from other bloggers, and I tend to shy away from them for one simple reason: I’m pretty bad at guessing. I mean, when it comes to plot points in books and movies, I’m golden. Nail it more times than not. I even have this uncanny ability to know who’s going to […]
Okay, sooo … that title’s a bit lofty, but I feel like I do so many TBR posts that I should open this one with a bang. Because why not? Obviously, I have no idea if everyone should read these books. Because I haven’t read them yet. Duh. But everyone should want to read these […]
I hope you’ve got some tea, lovelies, because it’s just about time to spill it.* * No actual tea will be spilled during this post, because ain’t nobody got time for that mess. Unless you’ve got cats. And then … well, there’s a 50/50 chance. I’ll pray for you and your tea. This week’s Top […]
