It’s no secret that I love books … and also hate numbers. But you know, sometimes the two coincide, and then I’m … conflicted? I mean, this is a Top Ten Tuesday post, so I imagine it was bound to happen eventually. Numbers mean things. Even more so when they happen to appear in titles. […]
In some brilliant marketing ploy to get us to buy all the books, the end of 2019 has a lot of must-read releases. I mean, what gives? I’ve petitioned to my bosses that they should just give me all of November off paid leave so that I have the necessary time to read all these […]
It may come as no surprise that I have a really short attention span, and so books have about 30 seconds to grab my attention between the blurb and first lines before I wander off to chase butterflies. This is assuming, of course, that I find a random book in the wild, not one that […]
Come, dearies, and prepare yourselves for an ugly truth about the TBR: sometimes, just sometimes, it’s a place books go to die. More of a book graveyard, really. Or maybe not die. That’s a bit dramatic. It’s more like purgatory. Eventually, they’ll be read. Probably. What I’m saying is sometimes books get put on my […]
It’s no secret at all that I’m really picky about the books I read. Am I a book snob? Pssh, yeah, okay, maybe a little. But that’s only because none of you slackers have unlocked the key to immortality yet, and for some reason I’m unable to read all the books in my lifetime. So […]
Look, I know Christmas is still months away, but it’s the early bookdragon who gets the book, right? I’m pretty sure that’s how that saying goes. So I love books. That’s no secret. But I also love not spending money on myself. I blame my Scots-Irish roots and also my grandmother, who I apparently inherited […]
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 […]
