This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a School Freebie, which basically is anything to do with school or education. One of the possible topics listed was 'non-fiction books' so I'm going to run with that because last year I did a post on Books that Take Place in High School and On Campus. Now, I'm … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Favorite Non-Fiction Titles

5 Duologies to Read
Sometimes one book isn't enough to give characters their full story, but sometimes three is too many. Thus, we have duologies. I personally like duologies and trilogies the best when it comes to series (with some exceptions) because a long series can get annoying. I can't say I've read many duologies, as they seem to … Continue reading 5 Duologies to Read
Review: Postcards from Summer
Seventeen-year-old Lexi has always wanted to know more about the mother who passed away when she was only a child. But her dad will barely talk about her. He says he’d rather live in the present with Lexi, her stepmom, and her half-brother. Lexi loves her family, too, but is it so wrong to want … Continue reading Review: Postcards from Summer
Review: American Royals
When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne. Like most royal families, the Washingtons have an heir and a spare. A future monarch and a backup battery. Each child knows exactly what is expected … Continue reading Review: American Royals
Books I Recently Added to My TBR (August 2022)
I recently did a post with books that I've taken off my TBR, and it seems that the rule for bookworms is that for every one book we take off of our TBRs, at least three more are added. So, since I took quite a few off of my TBR, I added many more. And, … Continue reading Books I Recently Added to My TBR (August 2022)
Review: What if Love is the Point?
The world saw Carlos Pena and Alexa Vega enjoying the success of their acting careers—Carlos on Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush and Alexa in the Spy Kids movies. What fans didn’t see was Carlos struggling with the influences of Hollywood and reeling from broken relationships. Or Alexa hiding an eating disorder and recovering from a divorce. Or the question both … Continue reading Review: What if Love is the Point?
Top Ten Tuesday – 10+ Year Old Books
It's funny that this is a topic not too long after I did a post about books that give certain seasonal vibes. Of course, that included what vibes the actual story gave, not just the cover. Today though, I'm just focusing on the cover because I do not have the brain capacity to look deeper … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – 10+ Year Old Books
Books I Recently Removed From My TBR
I've seen a few other book bloggers do this type of post before, and I had never planned to do one as I normally just take books off my TBR without giving it a second thought. However, I actually think it's kind of interesting to see what books people take off of their TBRs and … Continue reading Books I Recently Removed From My TBR

What I Have Out From the Library (August 2022)
In June I shared a post listing what books I had out from the library. Since I stocked up for my upcoming medical leave from work, I thought it'd be fun to share this haul of books that I have out from work. I had gone a little overboard in July, taking out nearly twenty … Continue reading What I Have Out From the Library (August 2022)
Review: Not Here to be Liked
Eliza Quan is the perfect candidate for editor in chief of her school paper. That is, until ex-jock Len DiMartile decides on a whim to run against her. Suddenly her vast qualifications mean squat because inexperienced Len—who is tall, handsome, and male—just seems more like a leader.When Eliza’s frustration spills out in a viral essay, … Continue reading Review: Not Here to be Liked
July 2022 Wrap Up
Well, as most of you may know, August is going to be a big month for me, as I'm having surgery to have my thyroid removed in about a week. I'll have about two weeks, at least, off from work and I'll be pretty much either watching shows/movies or reading during my time off. It … Continue reading July 2022 Wrap Up
Top Ten Tuesday – Books Set in Places I Want to Visit
This is such a fun topic to cover! I actually have my own little mini-series of Places Books Have Taken Me since most of my 'traveling' has been through reading. Honestly, the right book can make you feel as if you've been to a place before. I might not have ever gotten my Hogwarts letter, … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Books Set in Places I Want to Visit
