When someone mentions relationships in a book, a lot of readers immediately go to romance . . . and okay, fair enough. But as an asexual, I would like to counter that there’s more to relationships than just romance! Am I maybe biased in this opinion? Okay, yeah, sure, probably. But do I have a […]
It’s that time of year! Today is Valentine’s Day, when love is in the air amongst all those hopeful singles and new couples who still have something to prove. To translate that for all you old married couples like hubby and I, it’s time to argue over who has to take the offspring to her […]
A new year means new books, and new books means new authors to fall in love with! While I obviously intend to continue with the tried-and-true authors whose work I already love, it’s always exciting to discover new talents! 2023 is already shaping up to be an interesting year for releases. I keep saying I’m […]
You know what all these books have too much of? Words. More books with pictures! *Thor-smashes mug* Specifically, I’m talking about manga and graphic novels. Because someone has to! I feel like these are things that tend to get overlooked. Especially now that I work at a library, I see first-hand what a bad rap […]
It’s a new year and you know what that means. New book releases! Which means, despite my best intentions, I will inevitably fall into the same old NetGalley trap. I did really well with cutting back on requesting books on NetGalley in 2022, but let’s be honest . . . there’s only so many new, […]
It seems that 2022 is officially . . . *checks notes* . . . over? Huh. Well, I guess we all know what time it is now, right? No, I’m not talking about party time (which should be passed by now, as New Year’s was days ago, so it’s time to wrap it up!). I […]
I’m honestly not sure how we’re here talking about fall reading lists when it was, like, just last week that we were making our spring ones, but apparently, time means nothing anymore? I can’t remember even what was on my summer TBR, because it somehow simultaneously feels like ten years ago and two days ago. […]
One of the reasons I love reading fantasy so much is because you never quite know what sort of world you’ll get. Maybe it’s a world filled with dragons and magic and all sorts of wonder. Maybe it’s a post-apocalyptic hellscape where the dead walk again and now you’re suddenly stuck with your parents forever […]
As bloggers, a lot of us tend to get caught up on the shiny new of upcoming releases. I’m certainly guilty of this. But I thought I might take a minute to shoutout some backlist books that sound fabulous that are sitting neglected on my TBR. As well-meaning as we tend to be as book […]
Most of you know by now that I don’t love reading books with heavy romance . . . but when I do, I prefer my romance to be full of conflict, tension, banter, and questionable life choices. You know, like it was intended to be. Even though I don’t read a ton of romance, every […]
