"You work at a library, why do you still buy books?" That's a question I get asked a lot, especially by some coworkers and patrons when I mention I recently bought a book (or five). I get why they ask that, I mean, I have access to free books every day I go into work! … Continue reading I’m a Librarian, but I Still Purchase Books
I might like browsing TikTok for funny videos occasionally, but I'm not a fan of the BookTok displays that are taking over in bookstores. For one, many of the books on those displays tend to be hyped books already, and putting them on those displays seems to make them a "must read" for readers. The … Continue reading Bookish Discussion: “BookTok’ Displays
These posts have been done many times before, and people getting their first e-reader are always checking them out to see which is a better fit for them. Now, I'm not an expert in all the different kinds of Kindles and Nooks and tablets that are out there (or other e-readers), so my post will … Continue reading Battle of the E-Readers
Good news today, I'm negative for Covid, finally! Still have a dumb cough though, and I heard it can last a while. Whatever, it's better than feeling like total trash. Now I just need to build up my stamina of moving around again, and exercise. I'm not even sure if I have ten books for … Continue reading Most Anticipated Books of Early 2023
Happy New Year everyone! We made it through another year... and what a year it was! Just as I did in 2021, I destroyed my Goodreads Challenge of reading 75 books and ended up reading 123 books!! What?! Never in my life have I read so much. Of course, I did hit a serious slump … Continue reading Top 10 Books of 2022
Happy New Year indeed... so both my mom and I started the year with a positive Covid test yesterday. Yay. Neither of us are severe with symptoms, but we're making sure to rest, stay hydrated, and take the medicines we can to manage the symptoms. Praying that we'll both be better soon, especially my mom … Continue reading December 2022 Wrap Up
We made it y'all! Happy (almost) New Year! Who else is ready for 2023? I will say it again and again, I'm glad I started DNF-ing books when I can't get into them because life is way too short to read books I'm not enjoying. And there are way too many books that I want … Continue reading My 2022 DNF List
The end of the year comes so quickly, but the actual last two weeks of the year seem to take forever. At least this year it did. I still can't believe it's almost 2023 though. How have the past few years gone by so fast?? Anyway, since 2023 is nearly here, I wanted to share … Continue reading 2023 Bookish Goals and Reading Tracker
I know it's not quite the end of the year, but I'm posting this a bit early since I know I won't be reading any of the rest of these before 2023. Anyway, at the end of last year I picked 22 books I wanted to read in 2022. As one could predict, despite reading … Continue reading 22 Books I Want to Read in 2022 (results)
One thing I try not to do is review books that I've marked as DNF. I don't even like to review books I've given 1-2 stars to in some cases, unless I really feel the need to share my opinion, but one thing I would never do is tag the author in a bad review … Continue reading Recently DNF’d Books
November was the worst month I've had for reading this year. Which is fine, it's not like I need to read 11-16 books a month to be happy, but it was frustrating because I wanted to read something but at the same time nothing appealed to me. The only thing I wanted to do all … Continue reading November 2022 Wrap Up

I feel like it's been a while since I've done a Top Ten Tuesday, but it really hasn't. This month has just flown by and honestly, I'm stuck somewhere in spring, mentally. Spring 2019, that is. Anyway, it's finally hitting me how quickly this year has gone by and I'm already over it. Bring on … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday – Cozy Reads
Let me start off with the fact that I'm not really a Swiftie. I've just never been a big Taylor Swift fan, but I've liked some of her songs here and there. But for some unknown reason, when Midnights was released last month, I decided to give it a listen all the way through and … Continue reading ‘Midnights’ Book Tag
I suppose it was bound to happen sometime this year. That damn reading slump. I'd had a minor one back in the late spring/early summer, but it was more like I didn't read as much in those months as the others. This time, I haven't touched a book in nearly two weeks... one of my … Continue reading I’m the Problem, It’s Me (reading slump)
