Book Club Fail

October 24, 2022October 21, 20224 Comments

Try as I might, I can’t ever seem to be involved in a book club. Whether it’s online or in-person.  It’s not that I dislike them. I mean, I love the idea of a book club and everyone reading a book together and discussing it afterward. I’ve tried several times to get involved in one, … Continue reading Book Club Fail

This might not necessarily be about books, per se, but words do make up books... so, logic. It was pretty fun to think about what words I love, whether to use them or if I just love them in general. For the most part, the words on this list are there because I like how … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Favorite Words

Books I Recently Added to My TBR (October 2022)

October 17, 2022October 11, 20226 Comments

As I usually say, every time I finish a book that's on my TBR, I end up adding three. I think there was some confusion on my last post like this where some people thought this was a book haul post. However, the books listed here are not necessarily ones that I've purchased; they're just … Continue reading Books I Recently Added to My TBR (October 2022)

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Read on Vacation

October 11, 2022October 7, 20223 Comments

I didn't think I'd be able to do this week's post, but thanks to my meticulous keeping of reading spreadsheets over the past few years, I was able to pinpoint what books I read on vacation. Some I remembered off-hand, but I'd say most of them I needed to look at the spreadsheets for. It … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Read on Vacation

Comfort in Fanfiction

October 8, 2022September 9, 2022Leave a comment

We all know fanfiction is a huge thing. It used to be that reading fanfiction made you weird, and maybe it still does, I’m not sure. What I do know is that it seems more mainstream now than when I was in high school (I graduated in 2009, if you’re wondering) so it doesn’t seem … Continue reading Comfort in Fanfiction
