So many times I look at some of my books and see ones that I wish I could read again but as if it were the first time. I know a lot of us bookworms feel this way because there's nothing like opening a book and being brought into an entire new world for the … Continue reading Books I Wish I Could Read for the First Time Again
Film adaptations can be either great or terrible, depending on who's in control of the project. more often than not, the movies made based off books are actually pretty good, though if you ask a bookworm... the book was better. Obviously. Still, that doesn't mean that film adaptations aren't good. The main reason I feel … Continue reading Top 5 Film Adaptations
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
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
Hey all! I hope you're all fairing well during this challenging time in the world.

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
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.
