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 […]
It’s no secret that I love me some snark, with a side of sarcasm and maybe a hint of delicious banter. Nothing will convince me to read a book faster. And I don’t mean the bratty sort of sarcasm that comes naturally to children and teenagers. I mean the fine-tuned, sharpened, honed sort of wit […]
It’s time for a blast from the past! But, you know, in that really dorky way that only bookdragons can pull off. Because we’ve got to be good at something, and clearly this whole people thing isn’t working out, and it’s not looking great for having realistic expectations, either. Remember when you were young and […]
The best thing about reading fantasy: adorable, cuddly, potentially fatal beasts! Growing up, I was that nerdy little kid who wanted to be Newt Scamander, because what could possibly be better than getting to travel the world documenting and interacting with magical beasts?! Is that not the life? Oh, sure, they’re dangerous, but isn’t everything […]
We all know the book is always better than the movie. But the movie has beloved actors and pretty pictures and mood music and … popcorn. I mean, let’s be honest, a lot of us are just in it for the popcorn, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Theater popcorn is delicious. Besides, when’s the […]
