For so many people, reading isn't just a hobby or a way to pass the time--it's a lifestyle. Our books shape us, define us, enchant us, and even sometimes infuriate us.

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

Five on Friday: Books I Could Reread Forever

August 23, 2019June 11, 20224 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

10 Reactions You’ve Had While Reading

August 17, 2019June 11, 20227 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

Review: Columbine

August 16, 2019June 11, 20221 Comment

What really happened April 20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we "know" is wrong. It wasn't about jocks, Goths, or the Trench Coat Mafia. Dave Cullen was one of the first reporters on scene, and spent ten years on this book-widely recognized as the definitive … Continue reading Review: Columbine

One of my favorite manga series. It’s so cute (and only 3 volumes!). I definitely recommend this one to anyone new to manga so they don’t get overwhelmed😅
A series I highly recommend. It’s 12 books long, but you wouldn’t know it with how fast it goes by. Eye opening and intense is the best way to describe it.
My review for Love on the Brain is up on my blog! Even though I have a bad relationship with science, I enjoyed reading about women in STEM.
#QOTD: Do you read graphic novels?
Already started a book for the #tbrtacklechallenge! Going with the shortest book since I do have to get it back to the library soon 😅
Happy February all! January was a rough month for me personally, so here’s hoping this month is filled with better news and blessings!
