What I Have Out From the Library (February 2023)

February 24, 2023February 24, 202310 Comments

I haven't done one of these posts in a while, and I feel that it's time again because they motivate me to read the books I have out from work. Otherwise, they just sit there for longer than I intend. Luckily the books I take out aren't usually on a waiting list, so I have … Continue reading What I Have Out From the Library (February 2023)

Top 10 Favorite Book Couples

February 14, 2023February 10, 20234 Comments

I hadn't planned on doing this prompt, but then I realized how many bookish couples I like seeing together, so I decided to do this one after all. In honesty, I could probably list more than ten favorite couples, but I may save the others for another post. The thing is with books is that … Continue reading Top 10 Favorite Book Couples

Books I’ve Pre-Ordered in 2023 (so far)

February 7, 20239 Comments

I don't usually pre-order books, which is why I'm sharing a post about the books I have in the beginning of this year. I've only ever pre-order a couple of times before (not counting my mom pre-ordering the Harry Potter books for me). In fact, the only books I know for sure that I've preordered … Continue reading Books I’ve Pre-Ordered in 2023 (so far)

Buying Books As a Kid vs. As an Adult

February 6, 2023January 31, 20236 Comments

One thing I've come to realize is how differently my book shopping strategy is now than when I was a kid/teenager. Honestly, I think we've all changed our spending habits over the years, but I guess it also depends on the person. When I think about how I buy books now vs. when I was … Continue reading Buying Books As a Kid vs. As an Adult

But the mother of … Continue reading Review: Love on the Brain

January 2023 Wrap Up

February 3, 2023February 1, 20232 Comments

What a rough first month of the year. If you remember, my mom and I both tested positive for Covid on the first of the year, so that was fun. It took a while, as we did end up with secondary issues of bronchitis (my mom) and bronchial spasms (me). Basically, the same thing as … Continue reading January 2023 Wrap Up

Happy first day of Spring y’all! With April just a few weeks away it seems appropriate to show off a spring-colored book with rain featured 😂
The only picture with a green book in my reserve😅 Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! Who else here has Irish heritage? 🙋🏼‍♀️💚🍀
Current read. It’s definitely interesting, and I love the budding comedian aspect of it.
Monday, Monday. Here you are again. I love Mondays because I have them off😅
I found our new arrival Never Never hanging out on the shelf at the end of the day Tuesday, so I took it home and wouldn’t you know? There’s now six people on hold for it after me 😂
