Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Was Excited For, but Haven’t Read

May 17, 2022May 14, 20223 Comments

I love and hate this topic because it's easy, yet totally calls me (and others) out. I'm one of those people who will see a book on Goodreads or Instagram, obsess about it until I actually buy the book, then just let it sit on my TBR cart for days, weeks, months... probably even years. … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Was Excited For, but Haven’t Read

April 2022 Wrap Up

May 6, 20223 Comments

April was a bad month for reading. I started off well enough, but I finally hit that dreaded reading slump. I went through a few books where I didn't get past the first chapter before putting the book down. I didn't even bother to count those as DNF books because I knew my heart wasn't … Continue reading April 2022 Wrap Up

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I’ve Read Multiple Times

April 5, 2022April 2, 20224 Comments

Today is another freebie for Top Ten Tuesday, so I've chosen to feature books I've read multiple times for today's list. I think it goes without saying that I've read the Harry Potter series multiples times (probably more than any other books out there), so those won't be included in this list. I do have … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Books I’ve Read Multiple Times

Quote of the Week – 4/3/2022

April 3, 2022April 2, 2022Leave a comment

“The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer somebody else up.”― Albert Einstein Photo by Hybrid on Unsplash Some people might not believe this quote, and I can see how. A lot of times we can be self-centered, so we wouldn't think that cheering someone else up would make us happy. Or maybe … Continue reading Quote of the Week – 4/3/2022

March 2022 Wrap Up

April 2, 2022March 29, 2022Leave a comment

I'm shocked at how quickly March went by, and at how many books I read this month. It certainly didn't seem like a lot, but I read 15 books. I think it was the Harry Potter rereads that made it feel like I didn't read much, since I went through those slower than usual. As … Continue reading March 2022 Wrap Up

Magical Readathon 2022

March 29, 2022Leave a comment

So in the past, and even currently, Book Roast has hosted the Magical Readathon. It started out as a Harry Potter themed readathon for April and August, where participants completed their OWLs and NEWTs through prompts for the subjects needed for a Wizarding Career. As of last year, she changed the theme from Harry Potter … Continue reading Magical Readathon 2022

“I guess by now I should know enough about loss to realize that you never really stop missing someone - you just learn to live around the huge gaping hole of their absence.”― Alyson Noel, Evermore Drawing: © JBH 2019 | Photo: © T.K. {Genie in a Novel} 2019 One of the losses that hit … Continue reading Quote of the Week – 3/27/2022

5 Books That My Best Friend Loves

March 22, 2022March 15, 20221 Comment

Since I did a post a while ago featuring five books that my mom loves, I thought it would be cool to ask more people in my life about books they love. This might turn into a little series or it might end with this one. In any case, I knew I definitely wanted to … Continue reading 5 Books That My Best Friend Loves

Quote of the Week – 3/20/2022

March 20, 2022March 15, 20221 Comment

“Sleep is good, he said, and books are better.”― George R.R. Martin © T.K. {Genie in a Novel} I completely agree with this one. I often lose sleep because of books, as I'm sure most of us have. Some of my bookish memories are ones where a book kept me up late at night because … Continue reading Quote of the Week – 3/20/2022

Top Ten Tuesday – Books on my Spring 2022 TBR

March 15, 2022Leave a comment

I'm pretty thankful for these Top Ten Tuesdays because sometimes I just get burnt out with trying to come up with blog post ideas that aren't reviews, and right now is one of those times. I'm also a bit too into Harry Potter, Wizards of Waverly Place, and fanfiction right now, so my mind just … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Books on my Spring 2022 TBR

February 2022 Wrap Up

March 3, 2022March 1, 2022Leave a comment

I don't know how it's possible, but February went by quick yet slow at the same time. Hmm... Like last year, I actually read quite a few books for the shortest month of the year. I totaled twelve books, which I think was the same as last year now that I think about it. Give … Continue reading February 2022 Wrap Up

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Loved But Haven’t Talked About

March 1, 202210 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! And March 1st! I'm very much looking forward to spring coming in the next few weeks. As much as I love getting snow days off from work, I'm over the cold and snow. Honestly, I don't know why I still live in New England.  Anyway, today's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is books I … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Loved But Haven’t Talked About

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”― Stephen King © T.K. {Genie in a Novel} I've never read any of Stephen King's fiction books (I'm not a horror person) but even without having read his books, I know that this guy knows … Continue reading Quote of the Week – 2/27/2022

A Sticky Situation

February 26, 20221 Comment

Dear Bookstores, Walmart, Target, Libraries, and Any other place that sells books, Kindly leave your stickers off the front of books. I get that you want to show off the great deal you get by getting this book - whether it's 20% off or at a crazy low price - however, by doing so, you're … Continue reading A Sticky Situation

Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire © T.K. {Genie in a Novel} There are so many good quotes from this series, but this one really applies with daily life. One of … Continue reading Quote of the Week – 2/20/2022

To quote Hamlet, Act III, Scene III, Line 87… “No.”
Happy #FantasyFriday! What is one of your favorite fantasy books/series?
Took me a while to read this one because I was in a sort-of depression, but I got through it and enjoyed it. Now that I’m feeling a little more like myself, I’m getting reviews back up on the blog and the review for As If On Cue is up now!
I’m already loving Last Chance Books, and I wish I didn’t have work today so I could just keep on reading! 🤓
Who’s one of your auto-read authors? So far, I’ve loved all of Jennifer E. Smith’s books (that I’ve read anyway) 🙃
Looking for a good YA mystery/thriller? Might I suggest The Silence of Six series? The two novels kept me on the edge of my seat and turning the pages to find out what would happen next.
