I did a post like this last year with a small list of books. This year I thought it would be nice to sort of redo my post, but include more books. Books are always a great gift, as long as the person actually does like to read, and it's nice to know a person … Continue reading 10 Books I’d Give as a Gift
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! So it's nearing the end of the year and I know we're all ready for 2020 to be over. I just hope 2021 is a lot better for everyone. While I didn't personally have a tough year, just the virus and anxiety issues I've had this year has made it hard to … Continue reading 2021 Reading Tracker
I was shocked and then excited to see that there was another Dash & Lily book out this year, so of course I had to read it despite the fact it's been a few years since I've read the previous two books. Dash is now at Oxford University and Lily is taking a gap year … Continue reading Review: Mind the Gap, Dash & Lily
Let me start off by saying that this is not your typical biography of an artist that died over a hundred years ago. This is a heart-gripping story between two brothers and the love they have for each other. And let me tell you, I've never had any interest in art history or most artists, … Continue reading Review: Vincent and Theo
There have always been recurring issues that all librarians deal with, better known as 'Librarian Problems,' however with COVID being a thing, we have more specific problems during this pandemic that can set us a little more on edge.

It's been a few years since my first read of Dash & Lily's Book of Dares, but I loved it just as much this time around as I did before. This is also following my viewing of the Netflix series, Dash & Lily, so be expecting a book/series comparison coming soon. And spoiler alert, the … Continue reading Review: Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares
This was an instance where I judged a book by it's title... and boy am I glad I picked it up! Let Them Eat Pancakes is the second memoir of Craig Carlson, an American man who set off to open the first American diner in Paris! Carlson's memoir was heartfelt, sweet, and very informative, as he gives … Continue reading Review: Let Them Eat Pancakes
What wonderful about readers is that we all have different tastes. I mean, the world would be pretty boring if we all liked the same stuff, right? Personally, I like getting recommendations from other people, whether we have the same taste or not. Especially because sometimes those "out of place" recommendations tend to end up … Continue reading Favorite Underrated Books
Well, for me it doesn't always work. I can't speak for everyone else. There are two main reasons why book buying bans don't typically work for me. The first one being that whenever I say I'm going to go on a ban, I always break the ban. Either a book comes out that I really … Continue reading Why Book-Buying Bans Don’t Always Work
This is something we'd all like to do, right? I mean, the best option would be that books just didn't cost as much as they do, but at the same time, we want to support writers in what they do. After all, writing books isn't an easy thing to do. It's pretty insane how many … Continue reading How To Lower Your Cost of Reading
My favorite author has once again pulled off another eventful travel story, this time taking place in Greece! Liv's father left when she was eight years old, so she doesn't have many good memories with him - only the ones where they planned to one day discover the lost city of Atlantis. Now, eight years … Continue reading ARC Review: Love & Olives
One thing I learned in October... I cannot make potential TBR lists for the month because those end up being my worst reading months. Once again, I only got through one book, while trying to read another. So for the next two months, I'm just reading whatever I feel like reading... no themes, no planned … Continue reading October Wrap Up
Librarian Tales is one librarian's account of his journey through the library career field over the past ten years. As a librarian myself, I knew I had to read this one.
