Top 10 Favorite Book Couples

February 14, 2023February 10, 20234 Comments

I hadn't planned on doing this prompt, but then I realized how many bookish couples I like seeing together, so I decided to do this one after all. In honesty, I could probably list more than ten favorite couples, but I may save the others for another post. The thing is with books is that … Continue reading Top 10 Favorite Book Couples

Most Anticipated Books of Early 2023

January 10, 202317 Comments

Good news today, I'm negative for Covid, finally! Still have a dumb cough though, and I heard it can last a while. Whatever, it's better than feeling like total trash. Now I just need to build up my stamina of moving around again, and exercise. I'm not even sure if I have ten books for … Continue reading Most Anticipated Books of Early 2023

My 2022 DNF List

December 31, 2022December 28, 20221 Comment

We made it y'all! Happy (almost) New Year! Who else is ready for 2023? I will say it again and again, I'm glad I started DNF-ing books when I can't get into them because life is way too short to read books I'm not enjoying. And there are way too many books that I want … Continue reading My 2022 DNF List

Top 10 Books of 2021

January 1, 2022December 31, 20213 Comments

We made it y'all! Happy New Year! Let me start off with saying that I destroyed my Goodreads Challenge of reading 70 books in 2021 and ended up reading 105 books. I still can't wrap my head around it because I've always been flabbergasted by readers who read that many books a year. I just … Continue reading Top 10 Books of 2021

My 2021 DNF List

December 30, 20212 Comments

I'm very glad that I started living by the mantra, "life's too short to read books you aren't enjoying" and no longer push through a book I'm just not interested in. It's saved me a lot of turmoil this year, and in the past couple of years, really. Thankfully, this year there were only three … Continue reading My 2021 DNF List

Books I’d Love to See as Films

August 8, 2020June 11, 20224 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

Books I Have DNF’d, Vol. II

December 30, 2019June 14, 2022Leave a comment

I didn't think I'd be doing a second volume of DNF'd books this year, but here I am!  Thankfully this list is a bit shorter, but it's also only covering not even two months of reading.  November was a "yuck" month for reading as nothing really caught my attention.  December has made up for it … Continue reading Books I Have DNF’d, Vol. II

December 29, 2019June 14, 20221 Comment

Who else feels like we're in a limbo between 2019 and 2020?  Oh, good.  It's not just me.  This has been the weirdest work week because of it being shortened as well as it being ridiculously slow at work.  Though I will say, I'm glad I don't work in retail anymore because dealing with returns … Continue reading Books I’m Looking Forward to in 2020

October 13, 2019June 14, 2022Leave a comment

I hate saying that I didn't finish a book, but the thing is, life is just too short to waste time reading a book you're not enjoying.  For some people, this is real easy to do.  Then there are others - myself included - who feel as though they have to give the book a … Continue reading Books I Have DNF’d, Vol. I
