I feel like May has been the shortest month of the year so far... weird, right? If I'm the only one that feels that way, then it might be because May is my birthday month and it always goes by quickly to me. Or it could be because I started back at work and the … Continue reading May Haul and Wrap Up
Growing up I was the only real reader among my friends (though they at least read the Harry Potter books). I was that one student that looked forward to silent reading time while all my classmates hated it. So I was pretty much the outcast book nerd of my grade, but I didn't care because... … Continue reading Sharing the Book Love
As bookworms, we all have our preferred formats when it comes to reading. Some people, well, most people prefer physical books over ebooks. Or they might like both the same and just prefer ebooks for traveling (me). But there is another option that many people like to use to consume books... audiobooks. So I am … Continue reading Why Audiobooks Aren’t My Jam
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what is it about books that you love? I recently saw this question somewhere and it made me think about my answer to that question. The first thing is probably a common one for any bookworm: reading takes you places. I love that when I open a book … Continue reading For the Love of Books
Reading is something that I've loved for, well, as long as I can remember. I know that I was reading well ahead of my years before I even started school because I distinctly remember being in Kindergarten wanting to read in class, but my teacher said I couldn't because the other kids weren't up on … Continue reading A History of a Bookworm
1) What was the last book you read? Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi 2) Was it a good one? It is, though I have conflicting feelings about it. I love Sam and Penny, but some parts of the story just don't seem to fit for me. Honestly, the texting between Sam and Penny, as … Continue reading 50 Bookish Questions
In honor of Mother's Day I decided to give a little list of some of my mom's favorite books. After all, she's the reason I grew up with my nose stuck in a book because I followed her example. She introduced me to reading at a very young age - before I even started Kindergarten … Continue reading 5 Books My Mom Loves
I haven't had any ideas for what to post, so I looked around for some book tags to do. They're not my preferred thing to post, but they can be fun. Due to the global situation I figured the Stay at Home Book Tag created by Princess of Paperback was appropriate to do. So without further rambling, … Continue reading Stay at Home Book Tag
Hey everyone! It's finally May... or the 5th level of Jumanji as some people are calling it. I hope you're all doing well! I actually had a hell of a month which included 2-3 weeks of intense pain and ended up with surgery the day before my birthday this past weekend. April was a slow … Continue reading April Haul and Wrap Up
I realize it's nearly the end of April, but still... it's National Poetry Month! I think my brain is still reeling from my last read as well as getting a bit stir-crazy from quarantine. But I'm still here to give you a few recommendations for books that you should check out if you are a … Continue reading 10 Poetry Recommendations
Over the years I've tried different methods of tracking my reading. The main thing that got me doing this was Goodreads, which I still use, but when it comes to keeping track of all the stats, I found that some readers use spreadsheets to keep track of their stats. I did sort of a mix … Continue reading How I Track My Reading
March is usually one of my slower months of reading, but this year... I read a lot more. Granted, we've all been at home since about the middle of the month, which leaves a lot of extra time for reading. Oddly though, I feel like I got more reading done before I started working from … Continue reading March Haul and Wrap Up
Hey all! I hope you're all fairing well during this challenging time in the world. It's definitely not easy, but as long as we all work together and support those on the front lines (health care, first responders, etc) we'll beat this thing! Meanwhile, I've been looking forward to the Magical Readathon coming up because … Continue reading O.W.L.’s Readathon TBR
Much of our country has gone into quarantine, or lock-down, as a way to prevent this COVID-19 virus from spreading. I'm sure you all are just as sick of hearing about it as I am, but unfortunately, it's our reality. The best thing we can do is to do our part to help stop the … Continue reading 10 Books to Read While in Quarantine
Hey book nerds! Things have gotten real crazy in just the past week. It seems our status in some areas has escalated quickly, which is good for preventative measures. My thoughts and prayers are definitely with those who are affected by this virus, whether they are sick with it or are out of work/school because … Continue reading Supporting Indie Bookstores During the Outbreak
