October 2021 Wrap Up

October 31, 2021October 30, 20211 Comment

In the past few years, October is usually the month where I go into a bad reading slump. However, this year, I read sixteen books. Yeah, sixteen. It's not the most I've read in a month (that would be 25 books in January of 2019) but it's the most I've read for a month in … Continue reading October 2021 Wrap Up

Discussion: Manga as Literature

October 22, 2021October 19, 20216 Comments

If you were to have asked me five years ago about this, I would've been on the side of the line with those who say, "They're just comic books. It doesn't count as reading." But I was mistaken. Now if I'm asked if manga counts as reading, my answer is, "Yes. Yes it does." You … Continue reading Discussion: Manga as Literature

Tropes I Love to Read

October 16, 2021June 16, 20228 Comments

For the most part, I never really pay attention to tropes in the books I read. I know they're there, but I don't usually judge a book by what trope it seems to follow. Again, it's not on the front of my mind. As long as the summary of the book sounds good, I'll pick … Continue reading Tropes I Love to Read

Review: Eliza and Her Monsters

Hey y'all! It's time for another book tag! It's crazy how fast October has been going by. A lot of good things are happening here on my end, including helping one of my coworkers find an apartment.

Please Do Not Shelve the Books

October 11, 2021October 5, 20218 Comments

I feel like all my readers know by now that I'm a librarian in my hometown, which is awesome considering it's been what I wanted since I was sixteen years old. It took me a while to get here, but I did and for the most part, I love it. Of course being a librarian … Continue reading Please Do Not Shelve the Books

Meet the Blogger

October 6, 2021June 16, 202212 Comments

I've been blogging on here for a little over two years now. I've had other blogs before, but they were more random, day-to-day sort of posts with some bookish things thrown in. But once I came up with this username, Genie in a Novel, as an alias for a library blog I started with a … Continue reading Meet the Blogger

Discussion: Length of a Book Series

October 4, 2021June 16, 202213 Comments

A co-worker and I were recently talking to a patron about book series and how some of them can get to be too long, and honestly, I think it's a problem with how long some series go on. Trust me, I love a good series where I can keep on reading about the lives of … Continue reading Discussion: Length of a Book Series

Review: Destination Anywhere

October 2, 2021September 29, 2021Leave a comment

Peyton King has had a horrific five years at secondary school, being the target of bullies and having absolutely no friends. All she had was her art, but even that got made fun of by her peers. Her parents don't listen though, and it's only when she starts college (a school that U.K. students go … Continue reading Review: Destination Anywhere

September 2021 Wrap Up

October 1, 2021June 16, 2022Leave a comment

September was a better month than I expected in a few ways. Granted, it flew by very quickly, but it was a good month. Obviously I had my sad moments - September 11th for the anniversary of the Twin Towers going down and the lives lost, as well as the 5th anniversary of my gramma's … Continue reading September 2021 Wrap Up

One of my favorite manga series. It’s so cute (and only 3 volumes!). I definitely recommend this one to anyone new to manga so they don’t get overwhelmed😅
A series I highly recommend. It’s 12 books long, but you wouldn’t know it with how fast it goes by. Eye opening and intense is the best way to describe it.
My review for Love on the Brain is up on my blog! Even though I have a bad relationship with science, I enjoyed reading about women in STEM.
#QOTD: Do you read graphic novels?
Already started a book for the #tbrtacklechallenge! Going with the shortest book since I do have to get it back to the library soon 😅
Happy February all! January was a rough month for me personally, so here’s hoping this month is filled with better news and blessings!
