January started off strong with reading, but kind of slowed down as I started going through some personal/spiritual things mid-month (which feels like a lot longer, honestly). I can't really explain it, but my fellow Christians will know that sometimes we go through rough patches in our walk with God. Mine happened right after I … Continue reading January Haul and Wrap Up
I saw a few other fellow bloggers post this for a weekly challenge, Six for Sunday, but today is not Sunday and I don't normally participate in the "day" challenges. I just thought this particular topic was interesting, so I decided to go along with it. My bookish habits have changed in different ways over … Continue reading Five Bookish Habits
Growing up I've always loved going to the library. I've had my card since I was a kid, and though there were periods when I didn't go to the town library, I was using the school libraries as well to get my books to read or other activities. Then of course I volunteered as a … Continue reading Reasons to Love the Library

I've done a few recommendation posts before, and I'll probably keep doing them. My past ones were Lighthearted Reads, Holiday Books, and YA Mystery books that I really love and recommend to, well, anyone. One of the best parts of being a librarian is when a patron asks for my recommendation. First, I have to … Continue reading 10 Book Suggestions
Day fourteen of the challenge, though I have skipped a few due to not really having anything to talk about for some of them. Still, we're already two weeks into the new year and it feels weird because it feels like it just started, but also like it should be later already. Time is just... … Continue reading Reading Rituals
In 2019 I read a few new authors. Of them, some were indie authors and then of course there were more mainstream authors that you hear about often or are at least getting a lot of traction at the current time. There were not too many new ones, since a lot of the books I … Continue reading Authors I Discovered in 2019

This is a topic I can't wait to read on the other blogs, mainly because, well, I have no blogger organization, so I'm curious to see how everyone else plans their posts and whatnot. When it comes to blogging, I'm not very organized at all. At least on the planning aspect. As of now, I … Continue reading Blogger Organization
Ah, the great debate of physical versus e-books. I did a post at some point last year about the preferred format of books after doing a twitter poll. Most people did prefer physical as opposed to digital, which wasn't surprising at all. That goes for me as well. I've always been more of a fan … Continue reading Physical Copies or E-Books?
I knew The Queen of Nothing was going to be my first book to read of the year because after finishing The Wicked King, I knew I needed to read the conclusion to this trilogy as soon as possible! The book did not disappoint and though I'm sad the trilogy is over, I'm definitely satisfied … Continue reading Review: The Queen of Nothing
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the weekend! I spent a good portion of it watching the NFL Wildcard weekend, filled with some disappointments, but the best thing that came out of it was that the New England Patriots lost and are out. Sorry, not sorry to any Patriots fans who are reading this. … Continue reading Blogger Background Noise
Hey everyone! I'm back for Day 3 of the 2020 Bookish New Year's Challenge! How is the start of everyone's year so far?

Day two of the Bookish New Year's Challenge! Today's prompt is the best and worst reads of 2019.
