5 Book Series Recommendations

August 27, 2020June 15, 20222 Comments

In order to get myself back in the groove of blogging, I'm here with some recommendations I had written up in a notebook but hadn't gotten around to typing up yet. We all love our books that come in a series because we get to stay with our beloved characters a bit longer. Most series … Continue reading 5 Book Series Recommendations

August Blues

August 25, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

This month has been terrible for me reading-wise. It's the 25th of the month, and I still haven't finished one book (GASP). So... guess that means my August TBR List was a bust. Oops. If I'm being honest, I'm having a hard time mentally right now. It's like anything I try to do that I … Continue reading August Blues

Review: Jek/Hyde

August 17, 2020June 20, 20212 Comments

Lulu and Jek are science nerds, and have been best friends since they were young…or at least they used to be. Lately Jek has been pulling away from Lulu, just as she's coming to terms with how she really feels about him. Just as she was ready to see if there could be something more … Continue reading Review: Jek/Hyde

Books I’d Love to See as Films

August 8, 2020June 11, 20224 Comments

As readers, we always prefer the books over the movie. However, that doesn't mean we don't like to see our favorite characters and stories come to life on the big screen (or our TVs/laptops). I have to say that I can't really complain about a lot of the movies I've seen that were based off … Continue reading Books I’d Love to See as Films

Where To Find Clean Fiction for Your Teen

August 7, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

One thing that I know is that some parents want their kids/teens to read clean fiction. It's sometimes a request I get at work when parents are trying to find books for their teens. Some young adult books I've gone through in the past sometimes aren't that appropriate for teens... or at least I'd think … Continue reading Where To Find Clean Fiction for Your Teen

July Wrap Up

August 1, 2020June 15, 20223 Comments

First of all... I failed my book-buying ban for July. I made it so far into the month without buying books, then broke on the 25th. Though, doing the math, I did make it 28 days without buying a book, so that counts... right? I didn't read as much as I thought I would this … Continue reading July Wrap Up

Five fantastic stars AGAIN for this novel. I loved it years ago when it came out and feel the same after rereading.
QOTD: do you find yourself to be more of a morning, afternoon, or night reader?
Welp, this is a DNF. There’s just no depth to the story at all. I normally don’t read Patterson on principle, but I figured, “hey the person who ACTUALLY wrote it deserves a chance.” Unfortunately, this just didn’t hold my attention.
Seriously wishing I could just get paid to read books 😪
It’s the weekend. Read books. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Name a book that you knew was going to make you sad, but you read it anyway 🥲
