Well, for me it doesn't always work. I can't speak for everyone else. There are two main reasons why book buying bans don't typically work for me. The first one being that whenever I say I'm going to go on a ban, I always break the ban. Either a book comes out that I really … Continue reading Why Book-Buying Bans Don’t Always Work

Relatable Bookish Memes #1
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
Bookish Pet Peeves
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
Five Bookish Habits
I saw a few other fellow bloggers post this for a weekly challenge, Six for Sunday, but today is not Sunday and I don't normally participate in the "day" challenges. I just thought this particular topic was interesting, so I decided to go along with it. My bookish habits have changed in different ways over … Continue reading Five Bookish Habits
How to Read More Books In a Year
There are some people out there who read more than 100 books a year, which seems pretty insane for some people. Even I sometimes think it's a bit much, but this year I'm actually up to 76 books myself, which would've been more if I hadn't had a few reading slumps over the summer and … Continue reading How to Read More Books In a Year
The Book is Always Better
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
Tips for Reading Multiple Books at a Time
For most of my reading life I've been a "one book at a time" reader. Typically because I get so invested in whatever book I'm reading that I can only think about that one book, so I never bothered to pick up another one. Most of the time, I end up finishing the book in … Continue reading Tips for Reading Multiple Books at a Time
10 Ways to Overcome a Reading Slump
Reading slumps happen, and they're terrible. I recently had one at the end of September/beginning of October and it's really suckish to see all those unread books and just not feel like reading any of them. I literally went from wanting to read all the books to wanting to read none. And unfortunately, it's a … Continue reading 10 Ways to Overcome a Reading Slump

Unique Gifts for the Bookworm in Your Life
It's that time of the year. Though I haven't started my Christmas shopping yet, I know a lot of other people have or are at least gathering ideas for what to get people. Being a bookworm, I obviously love getting anything book-related because well, books are pretty much my life. Being a librarian is a … Continue reading Unique Gifts for the Bookworm in Your Life
10 Signs You’re Addicted to Goodreads
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

My Immediate TBR Books
As most of us do, I have a Never-Ending To-Be-Read List which grows almost daily. While I am trying to use the library more to save myself some money, I also have a weakness when it comes to wanting to own my books because I like to build up my own personal library, as well … Continue reading My Immediate TBR Books
10 Reactions You’ve Had While Reading
Books can leave us thinking about them for days, make us feel emotions we thought we weren't capable of, transport us to new words, and so much more. However, one thing that all bookworms have in common are some of those reactions we have while reading or right after we finish a book. I thought … Continue reading 10 Reactions You’ve Had While Reading
