5 Book Series Recommendations

August 27, 2020August 26, 20202 Comments

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

Books I’d Love to See as Films

August 8, 2020August 7, 20203 Comments

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

O.W.L.’s Readathon TBR

March 29, 2020Leave a comment

Hey all! I hope you're all fairing well during this challenging time in the world. It's definitely not easy, but as long as we all work together and support those on the front lines (health care, first responders, etc) we'll beat this thing! Meanwhile, I've been looking forward to the Magical Readathon coming up because … Continue reading O.W.L.’s Readathon TBR

Read or Watch First?

November 8, 2019November 6, 20192 Comments

Many books end up being turned into movies simply because of all the hype they generate in their book form, and let's face it, a lot of us love to see our favorite characters come to life.  And when our favorite books aren't popular enough to get turned into movies, we cast the "would-be" movie … Continue reading Read or Watch First?

Five on Friday: Favorite Side Characters

September 13, 2019September 12, 20191 Comment

Happy Friday guys!  This week actually went by kind of quick for me, and it was a pretty good week. This week's topic is Favorite Side Characters, which I happened to notice was last week's prompt for some of the blogs I follow.  Seems like we all think alike... I'm just a little later to … Continue reading Five on Friday: Favorite Side Characters

Five on Friday: Books That Left Me a Crying Mess

September 6, 2019September 5, 2019Leave a comment

Friday again!  Hope everyone had an enjoyable week after the holiday! This week's topic is Books That Made Me Cry, and when I say this, I mean that "ugly cry."  Or in other words, the crying that leaves us a mess.  I typically try to avoid these kinds of books because I hate crying that … Continue reading Five on Friday: Books That Left Me a Crying Mess

Book vs. Movie: Harry Potter

September 1, 2019August 23, 2019Leave a comment

Happy 'Back to Hogwarts' Day! It's no surprise to anyone that when a book is turned into a movie that the movie will be missing some key parts or characters from the book.  And with the length of the later Harry Potter novels, it's really no surprise that a lot of things were missed or … Continue reading Book vs. Movie: Harry Potter

Five on Friday: Childhood Favorites

August 30, 2019August 24, 20192 Comments

Happy Friday everyone!  It's time for another Five on Friday!  This week's topic is childhood favorites which works because I've been feeling a bit nostalgic lately.  I think it's because of all these reboots happening of my favorite shows.  It's just making me miss that time period - the late 90s and early 2000s - … Continue reading Five on Friday: Childhood Favorites

Five on Friday: Books I Could Reread Forever

August 23, 2019August 22, 20194 Comments

Since I began following other bloggers I've noticed that there are fun little "topic days" that they tend to participate in like Top Ten Tuesday or something similar, which I think is pretty cool because it gives bloggers something sure that they can post every week.  Let's face it, besides reviews, it can be hard … Continue reading Five on Friday: Books I Could Reread Forever
