Independent Bookstores I Love

September 17, 2019September 17, 201911 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, 2019September 12, 20191 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

Impossible Music – Review

September 12, 2019December 3, 2019Leave a comment

What happens when a musician loses his hearing?  Is he still a musician?  Can he still even make music?  That is what Impossible Music is about. Simon suddenly loses his hearing in a rare way in which there is no recovery.  The problem is that he lives and breathes music; he can't imagine doing anything … Continue reading Impossible Music – Review

5 Reasons to Keep a Reading Journal

September 10, 2019September 6, 20193 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

Once and For All – Review

September 9, 2019July 10, 2020Leave a comment

I didn't like this book as much as I was hoping I would, but I didn't totally hate it either. Louna is somewhat cynical when it comes to relationships, but she has her reasons.  Her first real relationship ended tragically, and she works for her mother's wedding planning company, which means she's seen wedding of … Continue reading Once and For All – Review

Five on Friday: Books That Left Me a Crying Mess

September 6, 2019September 5, 2019Leave 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, 2019September 3, 20195 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

Mirror, Mirror – Review

September 4, 2019July 10, 2020Leave a comment

Mirror, Mirror is a retelling of the classic, Snow White.  I have recently become obsessed with fairy-tale retellings and this was the first one I decided to really take a chance on.  So the take on this story is what if the Evil Queen had poisoned the prince instead of Snow White? I enjoyed the … Continue reading Mirror, Mirror – Review

More Common Bookworms Problems

September 3, 2019August 28, 20193 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, 2019September 2, 2019Leave 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, 2019August 23, 2019Leave 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
