It’s that time again: when I present you with a list of utterly irresistible books that I have every intention of reading soon, and we both pretend that I’m most definitely going to follow through with it. Because these books sound amazing, and who doesn’t want to read amazing books?! I’m pretty sure I’m doing […]
I’ve been mostly off the bookish scene for the past year and a half, which, not unsurprisingly, has meant that I’ve not only fallen behind on reading all the books, as I had planned, but I’m also concerningly out of touch with what new releases are coming up. On the plus side, my NetGalley ratio […]
What’s better than one favorite fictional character to love? Two of them, of course! While squads tend get a lot of love and attention, I feel like people overlook the dynamic duo. But no more! Trios, too, tend to get a lot of attention for some reason. Why? Hasn’t anyone ever heard that three’s a […]
Everyone loves to see what everyone else is reading, right? I mean, our TBRs don’t love it, but as bookish people, we’re absolutely dying to live vicariously through everyone else and the books they’re enjoying. In 2021, one of my big goals was to try to cut down on the amount of new books I […]
Now that 2021 is officially over, it seems like a good time to shout about all my new loves I discovered in the past year. Because what’s a year without losing your heart, having it shatter into a million pieces, and decimating your enemies? Not necessarily in that order. Figuratively, of course. *cough* I read […]
For those who may have missed it, I’ve been a little absent lately, doing this silly little thing called graduate school. -392/10 do not recommend! Okay, that’s a teensy bit of a lie. Graduate school has been a valuable experience, and it’s necessary for my job, and I highly recommend it if it’s something you […]
Confession: Years ago, I swore off audiobooks and utterly refused to give them any thought at all. Also confession: I was wrong. Go ahead, bookwyrms, take a screenshot of that because it doesn’t happen often! That I admit I’m wrong, I mean. I tend to be wrong on a fairly regular basis, but shhhh let […]
There’s something uniquely special about your first time. Something that can’t be replicated, no matter how many times you try to capture it again. I’m talking about books, of course. You can re-read a beloved book as many times as you want (and honestly, you should, because why not) but it’s still never quite the […]
In case you’ve somehow missed the news, we’re kind of currently in a pandemic and not particularly able to travel anywhere of consequence. But have no fear! That’s what books are for, right? If you’re like me and read a lot of fantasy, you tend to travel all the time anyway, mostly to worlds you […]
We can’t judge a book by its cover, but who said we couldn’t judge a book by its title?! The best book titles are ones that grab your attention and make you take notice. There are so many ways this can be done. It doesn’t even require long titles, either. Sometimes one-word titles are just […]
