10 Poetry Recommendations

April 22, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

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

10 Non-Fiction Recommendations

March 2, 2020June 15, 20221 Comment

Hey there book nerds!  Today I thought I'd share some of my favorite non-fiction books with you all.  It was actually hard for me to come up with ten good books of the non-fiction sort because honestly... I don't read that much non-fiction.  It's just not my cup of tea.  I prefer to get lost … Continue reading 10 Non-Fiction Recommendations

10 Young-Adult Romance Recommendations

February 3, 2020June 15, 20222 Comments

Where I work I'm known as the "Young Adult Romance" expert.  When patrons come in looking for a good young-adult book, they come to me.  Only it's not just for romance.  It's any young adult book really, but I do read more contemporary & romance than any other genre of young adult fiction. Since romance … Continue reading 10 Young-Adult Romance Recommendations

10 Book Suggestions

January 15, 2020June 15, 20221 Comment

I've done a few recommendation posts before, and I'll probably keep doing them.  My past ones were Lighthearted Reads, Holiday Books, and YA Mystery books that I really love and recommend to, well, anyone. One of the best parts of being a librarian is when a patron asks for my recommendation.  First, I have to … Continue reading 10 Book Suggestions

Reading Rituals

January 14, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

Day fourteen of the challenge, though I have skipped a few due to not really having anything to talk about for some of them.  Still, we're already two weeks into the new year and it feels weird because it feels like it just started, but also like it should be later already. Time is just... … Continue reading Reading Rituals

Authors I Discovered in 2019

January 13, 2020June 15, 20223 Comments

In 2019 I read a few new authors.  Of them, some were indie authors and then of course there were more mainstream authors that you hear about often or are at least getting a lot of traction at the current time.  There were not too many new ones, since a lot of the books I … Continue reading Authors I Discovered in 2019

Blogger Organization

January 10, 2020June 15, 20227 Comments

This is a topic I can't wait to read on the other blogs, mainly because, well, I have no blogger organization, so I'm curious to see how everyone else plans their posts and whatnot. When it comes to blogging, I'm not very organized at all.  At least on the planning aspect.  As of now, I … Continue reading Blogger Organization

Physical Copies or E-Books?

January 9, 2020June 15, 20227 Comments

Ah, the great debate of physical versus e-books.  I did a post at some point last year about the preferred format of books after doing a twitter poll.  Most people did prefer physical as opposed to digital, which wasn't surprising at all. That goes for me as well.  I've always been more of a fan … Continue reading Physical Copies or E-Books?

Blogger Background Noise

January 6, 2020June 15, 20221 Comment

Happy Monday everyone!  Hope you all enjoyed the weekend!  I spent a good portion of it watching the NFL Wildcard weekend, filled with some disappointments, but the best thing that came out of it was that the New England Patriots lost and are out.  Sorry, not sorry to any Patriots fans who are reading this. … Continue reading Blogger Background Noise

Hey everyone!  I'm back for Day 3 of the 2020 Bookish New Year's Challenge!  How is the start of everyone's year so far?  It's always kind of weird to get back into the swing of things after a holiday, especially Christmas and New Year's since they're so close. Anyway, today's prompt is fairly simple since … Continue reading Must Have Reads of 2020

Best and Worst Reads of 2019

January 2, 2020June 15, 2022Leave a comment

Day two of the Bookish New Year's Challenge!  Today's prompt is the best and worst reads of 2019.  I've been seeing everyone's top favorites and disappointments before the end of 2019, and I considered doing those posts myself until I saw it was one of the prompts for this challenge.  How perfect! Thankfully I enjoyed … Continue reading Best and Worst Reads of 2019

Happy New Year everyone!  I know everyone has probably said it, but I can't believe how fast 2019 went by!  I actually had a pretty good year, so I'm looking forward to what 2020 will bring! Anyway, to kick off my blogging in this new year, I joined Tabatha's Bookish New Year Challenge to do … Continue reading 2020 Book Blogging Goals – BYNC

Five fantastic stars AGAIN for this novel. I loved it years ago when it came out and feel the same after rereading.
QOTD: do you find yourself to be more of a morning, afternoon, or night reader?
Welp, this is a DNF. There’s just no depth to the story at all. I normally don’t read Patterson on principle, but I figured, “hey the person who ACTUALLY wrote it deserves a chance.” Unfortunately, this just didn’t hold my attention.
Seriously wishing I could just get paid to read books 😪
It’s the weekend. Read books. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Name a book that you knew was going to make you sad, but you read it anyway 🥲
