Many books end up being turned into movies simply because of all the hype they generate in their book form, and let's face it, a lot of us love to see our favorite characters come to life.

10 Holiday Book Recommendations
It's November already and that means that it's almost time to start getting into the holiday mood. While of course here in the U.S. we have Thanksgiving coming up, but meanwhile the rest of the world is preparing for Christmas (and other holidays). While I do love Thanksgiving myself, there aren't really any books I… Continue reading 10 Holiday Book Recommendations
Books I Have DNF’d, Vol. I
I hate saying that I didn't finish a book, but the thing is, life is just too short to waste time reading a book you're not enjoying. For some people, this is real easy to do. Then there are others - myself included - who feel as though they have to give the book a… Continue reading Books I Have DNF’d, Vol. I
Independent Bookstores I Love
I mentioned in an earlier post that I like to occasionally buy books from independent bookstores or "chains" with only a few different stores regionally. There are a few that I think are really worth pointing out individually because I really liked some of these shops and definitely want to see them thrive so that… Continue reading Independent Bookstores I Love

Five on Friday: Books That Left Me a Crying Mess
Friday again! Hope everyone had an enjoyable week after the holiday! This week's topic is Books That Made Me Cry, and when I say this, I mean that "ugly cry." Or in other words, the crying that leaves us a mess. I typically try to avoid these kinds of books because I hate crying that… Continue reading Five on Friday: Books That Left Me a Crying Mess
10 Signs You’re Addicted to Goodreads
Goodreads, the social media platform of bookworms. We use it as much as Instagram and probably more than Facebook. I think it's probably the platform I use second most, as I'm not very active on Facebook or Twitter (though I am working on the Twitter usage). We use Goodreads to keep track of all our… Continue reading 10 Signs You’re Addicted to Goodreads

Hey everyone! I'm back with more common bookworm problems. A few of these I was going to put in the first post, but I figured I'd just make a little series of these. There are only so many problems we can handle discussing at one time, right? (More) Bookworm Problems: Having unrealistic expectations for your… Continue reading More Common Bookworms Problems
August Haul and Wrap Up
August was a pretty decent month for reading. Overall, I read 8 books, of which 2 were rereads. Because of the release of Descendants 3 early on in the month, I quickly became a little obsessed with Descendants fanfiction, which kind of distracted me a bit from reading books and put me into a bit… Continue reading August Haul and Wrap Up
