May 2023 Wrap Up

June 3, 2023June 1, 2023Leave a comment

Despite a slow start at the beginning of May, I ended up reading quite a bit. Again, thanks to reading some manga, but books are books. My vacation at the beginning of the month ate up reading time, as I was pretty much living in the moment spending time with family and my best friend, … Continue reading May 2023 Wrap Up

The Book Addiction Tag

May 30, 20231 Comment

Well, it's been a while since I've done a tag post, so I think it's about time I do one again, don't you? I have Twirling Book Princess to thank for this tag, since I first saw it on her blog. Whoever the original creator is for this tag, thanks for making it! So I … Continue reading The Book Addiction Tag

Why I’d Want to Read a Book

May 23, 2023May 13, 202313 Comments

It's funny that this is a topic for Top Ten Tuesday because I just did my own post of my "Bookish Turn-Offs" and coincidentally, that's the topic for next week. I probably won't do next week's TTT link-up since I did that one already, but I can at least do this one since I hadn't … Continue reading Why I’d Want to Read a Book

Birthday Book Haul

May 19, 2023May 23, 20239 Comments

As I mentioned in my post about my birthday vacation, I got quite the book haul for my birthday. Over the span of a week I ended up getting/buying nine books, plus one of my pre-orders came in a couple of days after I got back home. So overall, my May haul is up to … Continue reading Birthday Book Haul

Reading Distractions

May 16, 2023April 28, 202318 Comments

I love and hate today's topic, which is "things getting in the way of reading." It's a great topic because we all get distracted from reading, even if we don't want to admit it. I will, though, because I get distracted a lot more than I'd like to. Not necessarily while I'm reading, but when … Continue reading Reading Distractions

They Write It, I Want It

May 13, 2023April 28, 20232 Comments

We all have those authors whose books we'll buy just because they wrote it. We don't even know what the book is about, but when they have a new one coming out, we just click 'buy' without a second thought. I can't say that I actually do this, because I'm one who likes to know … Continue reading They Write It, I Want It

Birthday Vacation: a Summary

May 10, 2023May 9, 20231 Comment

So for the first week of May I went down to Florida and Alabama with my mom to visit some family and my best friend. The trip to see family in Florida was especially fun due to the fact that it was eleven years to the day that we were last down there, and it's … Continue reading Birthday Vacation: a Summary

Books I Always Recommend

May 9, 2023April 27, 20239 Comments

It's Tuesday once again! I've kind of skipped the last couple of weeks as I didn't really have ten things for the topics. I mean, I don't listen to audiobooks, so I can't do that one, can I? Haha. Anyway, This week is an easy one, books that you always recommend to others, and this … Continue reading Books I Always Recommend

April 2023 Wrap Up

May 6, 2023May 1, 2023Leave a comment

I thought March had been a slow reading month for me, but it turns out that April was even slower. Why? I have absolutely no clue. I wasn't much busier than usual, with the exception of packing for my trip, and the trip itself. When this posts I should be getting ready to head back … Continue reading April 2023 Wrap Up

32 Fun Facts About the Blogger

9 Comments

It's mah birthday! I've done a Meet the Blogger post before, which was a tag of questions that a lot of other bloggers were doing at the time (and still do, I believe). However, as it's my birthday, I thought it would be fun to do another questionnaire that gives you 32 facts about me, … Continue reading 32 Fun Facts About the Blogger

Turn-Offs in Books

May 2, 2023April 21, 202314 Comments

Like people, we have turn-offs when it comes to books. There are some things about them that will deter us from reading them either right in the synopsis, or a little into the book. The latter is more often the case, since the synopses of books don't tell you everything in the book (otherwise, what's … Continue reading Turn-Offs in Books

Shelf Organization

April 22, 2023April 21, 20235 Comments

We all have our preferred way of organizing our bookshelves. The most common way is to alphabetize books by the author's last name. After all, it's how libraries shelf their fiction books, so why shouldn't we, right? It definitely comes in hand to keep a book series together. A trend I've seen many times on … Continue reading Shelf Organization

Top Ten Tuesday: Songs on Repeat

April 18, 202313 Comments

This week is a fun prompt, as it's a non-bookish related one, meaning anything goes. I wasn't sure what to do at first, but after I realized how much music I've been listening to lately, I figured I should share that! I've been a little more into the punk-pop genre lately, with bands like Set … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Songs on Repeat

To Lend or Not to Lend?

April 13, 2023March 28, 20237 Comments

I'm a librarian, so I'm seeing people borrow books all the time, and as a book lover in general, I like to recommend books and see people read books that I've read and loved. Or even ones that I hated, just to see how someone else likes it. In the past I've had no problems … Continue reading To Lend or Not to Lend?

Indie/Self-Published Book Recommendations

April 4, 2023March 29, 20233 Comments

I probably won't hit ten for this list, since I don't know of too many self-published books or ones from indie publishers, but that's okay. I'm still getting the word out there for these books that I'm pretty sure you haven't heard of, unless you've seen my reviews or other posts where I've mentioned these … Continue reading Indie/Self-Published Book Recommendations

Just some books with covers that I love💜
I need to start a new book today, and I’m thinking it should be this one. Can’t go wrong with a book where the MC has the same name as you, right?
Pie or cake, which do you prefer?
I’m falling back into the Glee rabbit-hole. This book won’t help me get out, but it’s been a while😅
What is one of your favorite fantasy series that isn’t Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Percy Jackson? (because those three are the most common)
The first books of fantastic series😍
