Because every book deserves a hug, am I right? And someone to gaze lovingly at its cover and fangirl over its characters and stalk the author until they publish another book, even if it’s under duress because they’re chained to a room in your house. I’m pretty sure I have to tell exactly none of […]
Caaaan you feeeeel the loooove tonight? You know, because it’s Valentine’s Day? It just so happens that sometimes love involves stabby things and bodily harm and the occasional threat of death. Or worse. You know, because love is complicated. I may have mentioned before that my expectations for literary romance are … different? I mean, […]
I’m convinced that my TBR is growing its own consciousness and will eventually take over the world. Sorry? Or maybe you’re welcome. Who knows, my TBR might be a really effective ruler and provide free books to everyone. My Goodreads TBR shelf is 336 titles, and that’s not including the books I have on my […]
So, I read a grand total of 96 books in 2018. Which means I didn’t read … all the others. I KNOW. I’m just as disappointed in myself as you are. I had such grandiose TBR plans for 2018. Where did I go wrong? Obviously, I didn’t have enough coffee and chocolate to power my […]
I’m going to let you in on a little secret: there are a LOT of published books out there. And for some reason, I haven’t read all of them yet? Wow, I’ve dropped the ball somewhere. If you find it, please let me know. There are fantastic new books published every single day at this […]
Now that Halloween has forsaken us to the cold, miserable clutches of winter*, there’s never been a better time to curl up with a good book. *Yes, I am being very extra and dramatic, but oh my gosh, it’s COLD and WET and ABANDON ALL HOPE BECAUSE WINTER IS COMING. *flails* On the plus side, […]
It’s certainly no secret that my favorite characters of all time are gray characters. You know, because life is complicated, and so are the best characters. Sometimes, good people do bad things. You know, like stab a few … dozen … people. I mean, it happens, right? This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is about villains, […]
The real world is terribly boring. There, I said it. Part of the appeal of a good book is the escapism. It’s falling into a world that’s so different from our own. It’s the magic, dragons, romance, necromancy, ninjas, and newness of a different world. But mostly the dragons, let’s be honest. This week’s Top […]
Wow, so, um, I read a lot. Surprise? Who knew? I love a good series, where I can keep coming back to characters like old friends, or revisiting the world or plots or ideas. But sometimes series are long, yeah? And then you get to the end and jolt back into the real world and […]
We spend so much time talking about books (which is great, don’t get me wrong, because books are life), but sometimes we neglect the people behind the books. No, I don’t mean the cashier checking out your latest haul, despite the fact that we all know what your TBR looks like. I mean the author. You know, that little humanoid-looking […]
