Review: It Only Happens in the Movies

May 25, 2023May 17, 2023Leave a comment

Audrey is over romance. While dealing with her parents’ contentious divorce, a breakup of her own, and shifting friendship dynamics, she has every reason to feel cynical. But then she meets Harry, her fellow coworker at the local cinema. He’s brash, impulsive, and a major flirt. And even though Audrey tries to resist, she finds … Continue reading Review: It Only Happens in the Movies

They Write It, I Want It

May 13, 2023April 28, 20232 Comments

We all have those authors whose books we'll buy just because they wrote it. We don't even know what the book is about, but when they have a new one coming out, we just click 'buy' without a second thought. I can't say that I actually do this, because I'm one who likes to know … Continue reading They Write It, I Want It

April 2023 Wrap Up

I thought March had been a slow reading month for me, but it turns out that April was even slower. Why? I have absolutely no clue. I wasn't much busier than usual, with the exception of packing for my trip, and the trip itself. When this posts I should be getting ready to head back … Continue reading April 2023 Wrap Up

Turn-Offs in Books

May 2, 2023April 21, 202313 Comments

Like people, we have turn-offs when it comes to books. There are some things about them that will deter us from reading them either right in the synopsis, or a little into the book. The latter is more often the case, since the synopses of books don't tell you everything in the book (otherwise, what's … Continue reading Turn-Offs in Books

Shelf Organization

April 22, 2023April 21, 20233 Comments

We all have our preferred way of organizing our bookshelves. The most common way is to alphabetize books by the author's last name. After all, it's how libraries shelf their fiction books, so why shouldn't we, right? It definitely comes in hand to keep a book series together. A trend I've seen many times on … Continue reading Shelf Organization

March 2023 Wrap Up

April 1, 2023March 31, 2023Leave a comment

Somehow, March was both short and long. I don't understand how this works, but then again, time is an illusion. I'm just excited for the nicer weather to come so I can stop wearing winter jackets every other day. Though, I'll be honest, I've been wearing only my 90s Con jacket since getting it, even … Continue reading March 2023 Wrap Up

March 28, 2023March 20, 20234 Comments

Getting rid of books... isn't that a crazy idea? Yet, everyone does it at some point. The main reason I have a hard time with getting rid of books is thinking of the money I spent on them. I mean, buying a book and reading it only once seems like a waste, right? In that … Continue reading On Getting Rid of Books

On Reading Classics

March 4, 20237 Comments

There still seems to be a stigma that in order to be a "real" bookworm, you need to have read the classics. I don't know why this is a thing, but any real bookworm knows that this is complete crap. The mottos of being a reader are: "Don't let anyone judge you for the books … Continue reading On Reading Classics

February 2023 Wrap Up

March 2, 20232 Comments

I know everyone else is saying that February flew by, but to me it was another long month. I had the major disappointment of not getting a job I really wanted, some more health concerns with my family, and a friend of mine lost their aunt in a freak accident which was just heartbreaking. I … Continue reading February 2023 Wrap Up

What I Have Out From the Library (February 2023)

February 24, 2023February 24, 202310 Comments

I haven't done one of these posts in a while, and I feel that it's time again because they motivate me to read the books I have out from work. Otherwise, they just sit there for longer than I intend. Luckily the books I take out aren't usually on a waiting list, so I have … Continue reading What I Have Out From the Library (February 2023)
