So for the first time, I am going to participate in Beat the Backlist 2020 hosted by Novel Knight where I'll be reading the books that have been on my TBR list for some time.

The book is always better than the movie. As an avid reader, I will argue this point any time, any day. To me, it seems as though movies over the last decade or so are going downhill (with a few exceptions). As studios try harder and harder to sell blockbusters, there seems to be more … Continue reading The Book is Always Better

For most of my reading life I've been a "one book at a time" reader. Typically because I get so invested in whatever book I'm reading that I can only think about that one book, so I never bothered to pick up another one. Most of the time, I end up finishing the book in … Continue reading Tips for Reading Multiple Books at a Time

Abby is a normal teenager living in a city that's filled … Continue reading The Supervillain and Me – Review

This was a pretty slow reading month. Partly due to the fact that most books I tried reading I couldn't get into, but also because I was a participant in NaNoWriMo this year for the first time. While I won that, I didn't exactly win at reading. I guess I was just more caught up … Continue reading November Wrap Up
Reading slumps happen, and they're terrible. I recently had one at the end of September/beginning of October and it's really suckish to see all those unread books and just not feel like reading any of them. I literally went from wanting to read all the books to wanting to read none. And unfortunately, it's a … Continue reading 10 Ways to Overcome a Reading Slump

A story of music and mental illness... this book portrays both themes well in my opinion and is quite captivating as you read the tale of Dominique and Ben. Dominique is in high school and is a dancer, or was, until about six months ago when she was no longer able to afford her lessons. … Continue reading Someday, Somewhere – Review
