I’d Rather Be Reading – Review

August 31, 2019July 10, 2020Leave a comment

This was a very relatable read.  I found myself nodding along or going, "Hey, that's me!" through the chapters.  Of course, I didn't relate to every single thing that was talked about in the book, but you get the idea. In I'd Rather Be Reading, Anne Bogel (Modern Mrs. Darcy and What Should I Read … Continue reading I’d Rather Be Reading – Review

Five on Friday: Childhood Favorites

August 30, 2019August 24, 20192 Comments

Happy Friday everyone!  It's time for another Five on Friday!  This week's topic is childhood favorites which works because I've been feeling a bit nostalgic lately.  I think it's because of all these reboots happening of my favorite shows.  It's just making me miss that time period - the late 90s and early 2000s - … Continue reading Five on Friday: Childhood Favorites

Where I Buy Books

August 28, 2019August 27, 20191 Comment

When we think of buying books, our first thoughts go to either Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com.  There are other retailers such as Books-A-Million, Book Depository, and Indigo! where plenty of bookworms spend their money.  In fact, out of this list the only one I haven't purchased books from is Book Depository.  while I live … Continue reading Where I Buy Books

How to Hack a Heartbreak – Review

August 25, 2019July 10, 20201 Comment

This was a quick and cute read, and it's books like this one that are making me like the New Adult genre more and more.  Probably because it's relatable. One aspect about this book that I liked was the accuracy in which the workplace was portrayed.  Mel works with tech start-ups, aka: the new app … Continue reading How to Hack a Heartbreak – Review

Five on Friday: Books I Could Reread Forever

August 23, 2019August 22, 20194 Comments

Since I began following other bloggers I've noticed that there are fun little "topic days" that they tend to participate in like Top Ten Tuesday or something similar, which I think is pretty cool because it gives bloggers something sure that they can post every week.  Let's face it, besides reviews, it can be hard … Continue reading Five on Friday: Books I Could Reread Forever

I love seeing and sharing bookish memes in my social media feeds because they're always good for a laugh... and they're usually 1000% accurate!  I can waste a good amount of time scrolling through bookish memes and saving them to share later on. So... it's about time I share some favorites here! Bookish Memes That … Continue reading Bookish Memes That Are 100% Relatable

1985: Stories from SOS – Review

August 21, 2019July 10, 2020Leave a comment

1985: Stori3s From SOS contains three short stories/novellas that tie in with the SOS universe.  The first story is about Evan Baxter the day before the events in The Silence of Six, which gives us a little more insight to his character.  I honestly wish he had an entire prequel novel devoted to him because … Continue reading 1985: Stories from SOS – Review

Summer Reading... the one thing that many students dread about their time off from school.  In fact, a lot of them dislike it so much that they put it off until the last minute.  And guess what that means?  When they come in to get the book from the library, chances are we don't have … Continue reading Summer Reading Scramble

My Immediate TBR Books

August 19, 2019August 22, 20191 Comment

As most of us do, I have a Never-Ending To-Be-Read List which grows almost daily.  While I am trying to use the library more to save myself some money, I also have a weakness when it comes to wanting to own my books because I like to build up my own personal library, as well … Continue reading My Immediate TBR Books

10 Reactions You’ve Had While Reading

August 17, 2019August 16, 20197 Comments

Books can leave us thinking about them for days, make us feel emotions we thought we weren't capable of, transport us to new words, and so much more.  However, one thing that all bookworms have in common are some of those reactions we have while reading or right after we finish a book.  I thought … Continue reading 10 Reactions You’ve Had While Reading

Columbine – Review

August 16, 2019July 10, 20201 Comment

That. Was. Intense. I think that might have been the most riveting and heartbreaking non-fiction books I have ever read, which is why it took me a while to really be able to compose a review.  Since I was too young to remember this tragedy and how the media covered it, I was shocked at … Continue reading Columbine – Review

His Hideous Heart is a compilation of 13 tales by Edgar Allen Poe's tales re-imagined by current authors that takes most of the tales and puts them into a modernized setting for the readers of today's age. I've only ever read a few of Edgar Allen Poe's works so I appreciated that the book include … Continue reading His Hideous Heart – ARC Review

The Silence of Six – Review

August 13, 2019July 10, 2020Leave a comment

What. A. Book. I will admit that I was uncertain going into The Silence of Six, as I do not usually read books dealing with computer hackers and conspiracies, but I am so glad that I decided to pick up this book. After his best friend publicly kills himself on live television, Max is thrown … Continue reading The Silence of Six – Review
