What wonderful about readers is that we all have different tastes. I mean, the world would be pretty boring if we all liked the same stuff, right? Personally, I like getting recommendations from other people, whether we have the same taste or not. Especially because sometimes those "out of place" recommendations tend to end up … Continue reading Favorite Underrated Books
This is something we'd all like to do, right? I mean, the best option would be that books just didn't cost as much as they do, but at the same time, we want to support writers in what they do. After all, writing books isn't an easy thing to do. It's pretty insane how many … Continue reading How To Lower Your Cost of Reading
Is this something anyone else does? I have no idea. But with my obsession of spreadsheets lately, I decided to revamp my Book Inventory sheet. And honestly, it needed an update. I was a little behind on adding books into it, so I had no clue of exactly how many books I have. Honestly, I … Continue reading Keeping Inventory of My Books
I'm sure most of us have a bucket list of things we'd like to do or places we'd like to go at some point in our lives. A lot of mine are on hold right now because of the virus (and money, always money) so it's high time to turn my sights onto the items … Continue reading Bookish Bucket List
I'm sure we all have bookish pet peeves that just make us cringe or roll our eyes. What I find interesting about pet peeves is how some people cannot stand the actions, while others are like "what's wrong with that?" It just goes to show you how different we all are. In any case, I … Continue reading Bookish Pet Peeves
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
I'm sure most of you know based on my profile bios across social media that I work as a librarian at my local library. This job was a blessing that came to me nearly four years ago and it's led me to meet some amazing people, including one of my best friends. It's hard to … Continue reading Perks of Working in a Library
I was actually tagged by Krista at The Bookish HedgeMom to do the Bookish Naughty or Nice Tag, and it seems like fun, so I'll give it a go! You should also go check out Krista's blog as well and show her some love if you're not following her already. So before we even get … Continue reading Bookish Naughty or Nice Tag
The book is always better than the movie. As an avid reader, I will argue this point any time, any day. To me, it seems as though movies over the last decade or so are going downhill (with a few exceptions). As studios try harder and harder to sell blockbusters, there seems to be more … Continue reading The Book is Always Better
Goodreads, the social media platform of bookworms. We use it as much as Instagram and probably more than Facebook. I think it's probably the platform I use second most, as I'm not very active on Facebook or Twitter (though I am working on the Twitter usage). We use Goodreads to keep track of all our … Continue reading 10 Signs You’re Addicted to Goodreads
Hey everyone! I'm back with more common bookworm problems. A few of these I was going to put in the first post, but I figured I'd just make a little series of these. There are only so many problems we can handle discussing at one time, right? (More) Bookworm Problems Having unrealistic expectations for your … Continue reading More Common Bookworms Problems
I have mentioned that I work in a library, right now as a Library Assistant - or as I like to say, a "Librarian in training." Either way, I do a lot of the same things as my supervisors... other than supervising. For now anyway. But in the time I've been working in the library, … Continue reading Librarian Pet Peeves
We all have them and they come in many forms. We tweet about them constantly and share them in Instagram posts. The fact is, we'll always have problems as bookworms, but the most important things is what we're not alone. So many of these problems are common... so I'd like to share a few so … Continue reading Common Bookworm Problems
Even short books can take days to read if you do not have the time to just sit and concentrate on reading the book. Sometimes it frustrates me when it takes me a week to read a 200-something page book because I know if I could just sit for two hours, I could read the … Continue reading Books to Read in One Day
There are books that I have forced myself to finish - whether it was for school or because I apparently wanted to torture myself, though usually it's the latter. I can think of more than enough times where I pushed myself to finish a book despite the fact that I had no interest in what … Continue reading Read-gret
