2021 Reading Tracker

November 26, 2020November 21, 20206 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! So it's nearing the end of the year and I know we're all ready for 2020 to be over. I just hope 2021 is a lot better for everyone. While I didn't personally have a tough year, just the virus and anxiety issues I've had this year has made it hard to … Continue reading 2021 Reading Tracker

How To Lower Your Cost of Reading

November 8, 2020November 10, 20205 Comments

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

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

My Updated Reading Tracker

June 16, 2020June 15, 20201 Comment

I've gone through a number of ways to track my reading over the years, but only one thing remained a constant, and that's Goodreads. While Goodreads is great and all, it doesn't always give you all the stats you're looking for in one area, or provide you with fun charts. And for those of us … Continue reading My Updated Reading Tracker

Bookish Pet Peeves

June 10, 2020June 9, 20201 Comment

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

50 Bookish Questions

May 13, 2020May 11, 20205 Comments

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

How I Track My Reading

April 5, 20203 Comments

Over the years I've tried different methods of tracking my reading. The main thing that got me doing this was Goodreads, which I still use, but when it comes to keeping track of all the stats, I found that some readers use spreadsheets to keep track of their stats. I did sort of a mix … Continue reading How I Track My Reading

On Recommending Books You Haven’t Read

March 3, 2020February 28, 20204 Comments

An interesting concept when you think about it. Why would someone recommend a book they haven't read themselves? Wouldn't that be misleading? And what is the basis for their recommendation? As a librarian I get asked for recommendations all the time. I even am asked by family and friends what some good books are because … Continue reading On Recommending Books You Haven’t Read

Reasons to Love the Library

January 20, 2020January 19, 20204 Comments

Growing up I've always loved going to the library.  I've had my card since I was a kid, and though there were periods when I didn't go to the town library, I was using the school libraries as well to get my books to read or other activities.  Then of course I volunteered as a … Continue reading Reasons to Love the Library

Book Highlight – Librarian’s Night Before Christmas

December 24, 2019Leave a comment

We all have our Christmas traditions - decorating the tree as a family, baking cookies, exchanging on gift on Christmas Eve... the list goes on.  I have a few myself with both my parents.  Though one of my newer ones for the past few years has been reading a small book called Librarian's Night Before … Continue reading Book Highlight – Librarian’s Night Before Christmas

Perks of Working in a Library

December 19, 2019December 18, 20197 Comments

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

Tips for Reading Multiple Books at a Time

December 6, 20192 Comments

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 Signs You’re Addicted to Goodreads

September 5, 2019September 3, 20195 Comments

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

Summer Reading Scramble

August 20, 2019June 9, 20203 Comments

Summer Reading... the one thing that many students dread about their time off from school.  In fact, a lot of them dislike it so much that they put it off until the last minute.  And guess what that means?  When they come in to get the book from the library, chances are we don't have … Continue reading Summer Reading Scramble

My Immediate TBR Books

August 19, 2019August 22, 20191 Comment

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
