Independent Bookstores I Love

September 17, 2019June 11, 202211 Comments

I mentioned in an earlier post that I like to occasionally buy books from independent bookstores or "chains" with only a few different stores regionally.  There are a few that I think are really worth pointing out individually because I really liked some of these shops and definitely want to see them thrive so that … Continue reading Independent Bookstores I Love

Five on Friday: Favorite Side Characters

September 13, 2019June 11, 20221 Comment

Happy Friday guys!  This week actually went by kind of quick for me, and it was a pretty good week. This week's topic is Favorite Side Characters, which I happened to notice was last week's prompt for some of the blogs I follow.  Seems like we all think alike... I'm just a little later to … Continue reading Five on Friday: Favorite Side Characters

Review: Impossible Music

September 12, 2019June 11, 2022Leave a comment

Music is Simon’s life—which is why he is devastated when a stroke destroys his hearing. He resists attempts to help him adjust to his new state, refusing to be counselled, refusing to learn sign-language, refusing to have anything to do with Deaf culture. Refusing, that is, until he meets G, a tough-as-nails girl dealing with … Continue reading Review: Impossible Music

5 Reasons to Keep a Reading Journal

September 10, 2019June 11, 20223 Comments

Reading journals have become more popular for avid readers.  Whether they are detailed bullet journals, logs in a spiral-bound notebook, or one of those you can buy from a bookstore or Amazon, I think every reader should keep one.  This way we can see what we read at what point in our lives and see … Continue reading 5 Reasons to Keep a Reading Journal

Review: Once and For All

September 9, 2019June 11, 2022Leave a comment

Louna, daughter of famed wedding planner Natalie Barrett, has seen every sort of wedding: on the beach, at historic mansions, in fancy hotels and clubs. Perhaps that's why she's cynical about happily-ever-after endings, especially since her own first love ended tragically. When Louna meets charming, happy-go-lucky serial dater Ambrose, she holds him at arm's length. … Continue reading Review: Once and For All

Five on Friday: Books That Left Me a Crying Mess

September 6, 2019June 11, 2022Leave a comment

Friday again!  Hope everyone had an enjoyable week after the holiday! This week's topic is Books That Made Me Cry, and when I say this, I mean that "ugly cry."  Or in other words, the crying that leaves us a mess.  I typically try to avoid these kinds of books because I hate crying that … Continue reading Five on Friday: Books That Left Me a Crying Mess

10 Signs You’re Addicted to Goodreads

September 5, 2019June 11, 20225 Comments

Goodreads, the social media platform of bookworms.  We use it as much as Instagram and probably more than Facebook.  I think it's probably the platform I use second most, as I'm not very active on Facebook or Twitter (though I am working on the Twitter usage). We use Goodreads to keep track of all our … Continue reading 10 Signs You’re Addicted to Goodreads

September 3, 2019June 11, 20223 Comments

Hey everyone!  I'm back with more common bookworm problems.  A few of these I was going to put in the first post, but I figured I'd just make a little series of these.  There are only so many problems we can handle discussing at one time, right? (More) Bookworm Problems Having unrealistic expectations for your … Continue reading More Common Bookworms Problems

August Haul and Wrap Up

September 2, 2019June 13, 2022Leave a comment

August was a pretty decent month for reading.  Overall, I read 8 books, of which 2 were rereads.  Because of the release of Descendants 3 early on in the month, I quickly became a little obsessed with Descendants fanfiction, which kind of distracted me a bit from reading books and put me into a bit … Continue reading August Haul and Wrap Up

Book vs. Movie: Harry Potter

September 1, 2019June 11, 2022Leave a comment

Happy 'Back to Hogwarts' Day! It's no surprise to anyone that when a book is turned into a movie that the movie will be missing some key parts or characters from the book.  And with the length of the later Harry Potter novels, it's really no surprise that a lot of things were missed or … Continue reading Book vs. Movie: Harry Potter

I had blood taken by a vampire today y’all🧛🏻‍♀️
Salty or sugary foods when you read?
My poll ended up a tie, so I decided to go with Somewhere Only We Know since it’s been on my TBR cart longer. I went through the first 100 pages like nothing, and I’m expecting this to be a cute read!
Yay for my 800th post on this account!🥳
2023 has been the year of tea for me. Since getting sick, I’ve had more green tea than ever in my life. I’m not complaining though, now that I’ve found green tea flavors I really enjoy 😋
I opened this book up yesterday not knowing I’d devour it in one day. It kept me turning the pages to find out what happened next!
