Obviously, my surgery went well and I've been active online for the past two weeks. Even the week after my surgery I didn't stay offline for very long, but I didn't actively write any of my posts. I had them all scheduled, hehe. Anyway, I didn't think I was going to read much after going … Continue reading August 2022 Wrap Up
Sometimes one book isn't enough to give characters their full story, but sometimes three is too many. Thus, we have duologies. I personally like duologies and trilogies the best when it comes to series (with some exceptions) because a long series can get annoying. I can't say I've read many duologies, as they seem to … Continue reading 5 Duologies to Read
I recently did a post with books that I've taken off my TBR, and it seems that the rule for bookworms is that for every one book we take off of our TBRs, at least three more are added. So, since I took quite a few off of my TBR, I added many more. And, … Continue reading Books I Recently Added to My TBR (August 2022)
I've seen a few other book bloggers do this type of post before, and I had never planned to do one as I normally just take books off my TBR without giving it a second thought. However, I actually think it's kind of interesting to see what books people take off of their TBRs and … Continue reading Books I Recently Removed From My TBR
In June I shared a post listing what books I had out from the library. Since I stocked up for my upcoming medical leave from work, I thought it'd be fun to share this haul of books that I have out from work. I had gone a little overboard in July, taking out nearly twenty … Continue reading What I Have Out From the Library (August 2022)
Well, as most of you may know, August is going to be a big month for me, as I'm having surgery to have my thyroid removed in about a week. I'll have about two weeks, at least, off from work and I'll be pretty much either watching shows/movies or reading during my time off. It … Continue reading July 2022 Wrap Up
Another month gone. This one has been a bit long for me, and the coming month is going to be longer. I recently had an ultrasound done on my thyroid because of a lump my doctor felt on my throat in that area, and they want to do a biopsy on it now. The problem … Continue reading June 2022 Wrap Up
It's officially summer now! Which ironically means that the days will slowly start getting shorter, but it means we're on the way to my favorite season - fall/autumn! I feel like as a New Englander, it's almost a requirement to love fall. Why? I'm not sure. I think it's just the vibes of fall that … Continue reading 4 x 4 – Four Books for Each Season
I don't know why, but I thought it would be fun to share the books I have checked out currently from the library (or as I call it, work). If you're not a librarian and think that if you were one, you'd check out books consistently... then you're absolutely right. I'm constantly bringing new books … Continue reading What I Have Out From the Library (June 2022)
Yesterday I went to Wesleyan RJ Julia Bookstore to attend a book signing for an author of one of my favorite series. Soman Chainani is the genius behind The School for Good and Evil series which was technically written for the middle-grade age group, but does have a more YA feel to it. The event … Continue reading Book Tour – Soman Chainani @ Wesleyan RJ Julia
Three years ago today I made my first post on this blog - Bibliophile Defined. It was a post I'd done on an earlier blog, but decided to take it … Continue reading 3 Years of Genie in a Novel
Yikes, I can't believe May is gone already. I feel like it was just last week I was trying to figure out what to do for my birthday and now … Continue reading May 2022 Wrap Up
April was a bad month for reading. I started off well enough, but I finally hit that dreaded reading slump. I went through a few books where I didn't get … Continue reading April 2022 Wrap Up

I'm shocked at how quickly March went by, and at how many books I read this month. It certainly didn't seem like a lot, but I read 15 books. I … Continue reading March 2022 Wrap Up
