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
Wow. Just...wow. That's the only way I can describe this book. Gone With the Wind starts by bringing us into the year 1861, not too long before the civil war begins. Scarlett is a popular southern belle, always getting the male attention and everything she wants... except for one Ashley Wilkes. This is just the … Continue reading Review: Gone With the Wind
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
I had to do a double take when I saw this cover at the bookstore a month ago. Scooby-Doo was one of my favorite cartoons growing up - I always watched it with my grandma and that was "our" show. So when I saw this book and read the synopsis on the back, I didn't … Continue reading Review: The Vanishing Girl (Daphne & Velma #1)
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
It's been a while since I read Attachments, but I still get little flashbacks to the characters and story. That's how you know a book is good! In fact, I might be due to re-read the book. The book promptly opens with one of Beth and Jennifer's emails, where we see right away that they … Continue reading Review: Attachments
I thought this book was adorable in a unique way. Rather than being intrigued with the plot, I was enamored with the characters. I feel that the Bennett family has a unique feel to them, from the parents down to each of Addie’s brothers, and then Addie herself. If I were to have three older … Continue reading Review: Love & Luck
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.

Let's talk about the book series for a moment and how long is too long for a series? We all pretty much know and love the Harry Potter series, which consists of seven books (we do not count The Cursed Child, ever). Given the length of the later novels, it seems like a pretty large … Continue reading Length of a Book Series
I'm still reeling from the twist at the end of this book. I'm just mind-blown guys. One of Us is Next is Karen M. McManus's third book and the sequel to her first mystery/thriller, One of Us is Lying. It takes place 18 months after the events at Bayview High, only now there's a new … Continue reading Review: One of Us is Next
