July gave me my reading groove back! I was so excited to finally be in a major reading mood again and enjoy the work that these authors put out there. I feel myself slipping a little now, but I think that's just due to some stress and not knowing what to read next. But I … Continue reading July 2021 Wrap Up
We're in the middle of that time of year... summer reading for kids and teens. What a joy, right? For librarians, it can be a little bit of a nightmare for us when we don't get our shipment of summer reading books or when the procrastinators start coming in. Even just the Children and Teen … Continue reading Discussion: Required Summer Reading
I suppose I'd consider myself a fast reader, though definitely not up to those people who read a hundred books or more in a year. On average, it takes me only a few days to read a novel. It hardly ever takes me a week or longer to get through one, though for non-fiction, it's … Continue reading Why I Read Books Quickly
Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm very excited because this weekend I finally went ahead and did something that I was contemplating for a while, and then decided to just take the plunge... I opened an Etsy shop for custom bookmarks! I know there are a lot of bookish people that do this on Etsy, but I … Continue reading Custom Bookmarks – Etsy Shop
How is it July already?! Honestly y'all, I'm just catching up to what date it is and even then I'm either messing up the month or day of the month. Usually both. Does anyone else feel like they're a month or two behind? I'm hoping it's not just me. Anyway, I didn't do one of … Continue reading Mid-Year Reading Report
I found my pace more in June for reading, though it did take me while to read Pride and Prejudice. I was glad that I was able to get one last book in by the end of the month, literally having started it on the 28th and unsure if I would actually finish it on … Continue reading June 2021 Wrap Up
I'm not huge on traveling, but I do like to get away every so often, and like many people I have dream destinations that I'd like to visit someday before I die. Most of them are overseas, in Europe, and have to do with my backgrounds. The main two I'd like to visit because of … Continue reading Countries I’ve Traveled To (through books)
Hey everyone! How's your week going so far? Mine's been a blur and I went from thinking it was still April to thinking we're in July. I have no idea how that happened! Maybe the heat wave messing with my brain? Anyway, today I'll be doing the Three Bookish Things tag, which I saw Roxanne … Continue reading Three Things Book Tag
I recently re-watched Glee, and somehow convinced one of my friends at work to watch it as well. I'm sort of coming off my high of reading Glee fanfiction (I'm still reading it, just not as much each day) and thought to myself, "I wonder if there's a Glee Book Tag?" And what do you … Continue reading Glee Book Tag
May was a much better month for reading. I found my groove again and I cannot be happier. I still didn't read as many books as I usually do in a month, but life has been happening... so I'm not too upset about it. In general, May was just a fantastic month, or at least … Continue reading May 2021 Wrap Up
We've all looked at our TBR piles (whether the actual pile or our Goodreads lists) and felt the dread of knowing that we might not ever read some of those books because there are just so many good books to read and not nearly enough time. I'm sure we've all felt the pressure to want … Continue reading Unloading My TBR Pile
Classics. The books we have either read or not read, and either love or hate. Stories so well-known that even if you haven't read them, you know at least what the story is about, or even a few quotes from them. For most of us, the classics that we have read were while we were … Continue reading Classics On My TBR
April was very similar to March in that I didn't get much reading done, especially in the second half of the month. In fact, I think I went two straight weeks without reading a book. I was still reading though... only it was fanfiction. I somehow went from reading Descendants fanfiction to Glee. The Gleek … Continue reading April 2021 Wrap Up
Ughh.... March failed me, you guys. I have been in such a reading slump for most of the month, unless you count fanfiction. I mean, it counts but doesn't count. I can't put it toward my reading goals for the year, but at least I'm reading, right? I've just been on a Descendants kick, again, … Continue reading March 2021 Wrap Up
Ellie Agresti's not sure anything could be worse than being dumped by her boyfriend, Hunter, the first day of senior year.But sharing a "life skills" class with him and his new girlfriend, Brynn? AND getting partnered with a "family" of misfits (A.J., the loudmouth; Isaiah, the horse-racing obsessive; and Luke, the tattooed stunt-biker)?It's a recipe … Continue reading ARC Review: The Secret Recipe For Moving On
