For those who celebrate it, Halloween is right around the corner, so the time for dressing up is upon us! If I’m honest, I never was one for trick or treating. Never really saw the point, and I can’t be bothered to dress up because I’m lame and boring. Minion, though, loves Halloween, and always […]
Today’s a very special TTT, where I’m calling out all these horrendous, fiendish TBR growers for the troublemakers they are! See, I was just sitting here, the innocent little bookwyrm I am, tending to my teensy little TBR and doing a just fine job of it, of course. When along came these bloggers and just […]
The old saying goes, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but can we judge them by their titles? I mean, because I’m clearly a complete rebel with a disregard for all the rules, I judge books by their covers, too. But suppose I don’t. Hypothetically. Could I judge them by their titles? After all, […]
While the trees outside are dying, shedding their leaves, and becoming corpses of their former selves … doesn’t that just inspire you to read something spine-tingling and spooky?! The world outside is dying, so why not have a character or two join them? Maybe also your sanity and your ability to sleep peacefully. Fall for […]
This blog post topic may come as no surprise. I love quotes almost as much as sarcastic characters, so when you combine the two? Poof, magic happens! Okay, so it’s not real magic. It’s all smoke in mirrors and waving hands and maybe a little glitter and confetti (which I staunchly refuse to clean up). […]
I’d ask you all how your 2020 TBRs are going, but this year has been … *whistles* … and I fear that question might be more aggressive than I intended to start this post. Let’s just assume, shall we, that we’re all more or less in similar boats. You know, one that is just big […]
It’s that time again. Are you readyyyyyy to ruuuuuumble?! I’m back with another Battle of the Book Covers, which is pretty much my favorite thing to do in general anyway. The gist is: go on Goodreads. Check out the alternative covers for certain books. Decide which country did it best. Winner gets bragging rights and, […]
Spoiler alert: younger me was a bit of a mess. I can hear you gasping. I know. Bit of a shock, isn’t it? But Sammie, I hear you cry, you seem to be so *together* so how could you ever have been a mess? Yeah … okay … I couldn’t get through that without laughing. […]
Not gonna lie: this series is a beast, and each book could easily qualify as a potentially lethal weapon in its own right. I get it. It can be intimidating. But allow me a second, if I may, to convince you why you absolutely should pick this series up. I promise I’ll even do better […]
I’ve done posts before about bookish worlds I want to visit and also authors I love to follow, so today, I’ve decided to combine the two together. Because nothing screams “I love your work” more than shoving them into a dark, desolate world that they may not survive, right?! This is a labor of love, […]
