Readers are sometimes born, and other times they're made. I feel like I was a mix of both. I have a vast imagination that would have led me to wanting to discover new worlds that existed only in books, but I was also heavily influenced by my mom and her love of reading. So for … Continue reading How to Be a Reader
Welcome to another edition of Book vs. Movie, book nerds! Within a few days, I read Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland and then watched the film adaptation on Amazon Prime. The movie being the reason I decided to bump up the book on my TBR list (that's usually a good motivator, especially when the … Continue reading Book vs. Movie: Our Chemical Hearts
Favorite authors. That's always a fun topic. We all have them, and for our own reasons. Usually it's because we always like their books, but sometimes it can be because we like them as human beings or their writing style. It could also be that we know them on a personal level too, though that's … Continue reading 7 Authors That I Love
Here is a fun little series I'd like to start up. We see these bookish/reading memes all the time on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, but even so, they're always fun to reshare. So I figured I'd start this as an ongoing series post for my blog (which really helps for when I'm behind on writing … Continue reading Relatable Bookish Memes #1
August, to put it simply... was a bust. For the entire 31 days of the month I managed to read one book. ONE. BOOK. I know it's nothing to be ashamed of, it just kind of shocks me that I wasn't able to pull out of my reading slump as quickly as usual. And to … Continue reading August Wrap Up
In order to get myself back in the groove of blogging, I'm here with some recommendations I had written up in a notebook but hadn't gotten around to typing up yet. We all love our books that come in a series because we get to stay with our beloved characters a bit longer. Most series … Continue reading 5 Book Series Recommendations
This month has been terrible for me reading-wise. It's the 25th of the month, and I still haven't finished one book (GASP). So... guess that means my August TBR List was a bust. Oops. If I'm being honest, I'm having a hard time mentally right now. It's like anything I try to do that I … Continue reading August Blues
As readers, we always prefer the books over the movie. However, that doesn't mean we don't like to see our favorite characters and stories come to life on the big screen (or our TVs/laptops). I have to say that I can't really complain about a lot of the movies I've seen that were based off … Continue reading Books I’d Love to See as Films
One thing that I know is that some parents want their kids/teens to read clean fiction. It's sometimes a request I get at work when parents are trying to find books for their teens. Some young adult books I've gone through in the past sometimes aren't that appropriate for teens... or at least I'd think … Continue reading Where To Find Clean Fiction for Your Teen
First of all... I failed my book-buying ban for July. I made it so far into the month without buying books, then broke on the 25th. Though, doing the math, I did make it 28 days without buying a book, so that counts... right? I didn't read as much as I thought I would this … Continue reading July Wrap Up
We're almost a month past the halfway mark of the year, but I still think this is a good time to do this post because by December, the entire list could be different. It'll be interesting to see how it changes by then, if I ever get out of this reading slump I'm in. So … Continue reading Favorite Books of 2020 (so far)

Alison at Bossy Librarian rounded up some of her favorite book bloggers to share in a post called Best Book Bloggers to Read This Summer. I was definitely honored to be … Continue reading Bossy Librarian’s Best Book Blogs Feature
This is something I've had for a few years, and I've been meaning to share it with everyone. I finally got around to it now that I decided to update my jar because not only did I read a lot of the titles that were in there from the past few years, but I also … Continue reading The TBR Jar

Lauren, on the other hand, is a little disappointed … Continue reading Review: Roomies
I'm sitting here trying to think of whether or not June went by really fast or not. At times it feels like it did, but at the same time it doesn't feel that way. I still think the quickest month of the year was May. But that could just be me. In any case, June … Continue reading June Wrap Up
