Books, Reading, and everything in between
And it's a doozy. To be honest, I've struggled a lot with TBRs throughout my entire reading career. Mood always trumps everything I want to read, but I've also come to appreciate the TBR for getting me through books I wouldn't normally pick up. I really love exploring new books and picking up things I [...]
Recently, I started asking fun questions to my bookstagram followers to see their opinions and thoughts on book related topics. I conducted my first survey over the weekend asking the question: Do you read faster or slower on an e-reader? Background I don't know about you, but I've been reading a lot on my e-reader [...]
2020 has been busy. I moved to another city, but that wasn't easy. We had to scout the city first and then find a place to live and then plan the rest of the move. And then the Corona virus hit. We moved a week before we were told to start practicing social distancing. I [...]

Earlier last week, I did a promotion for Incendiary by Zoraida Cordova. I was so excited about this book that I decided to read it right there and then even though the book comes out in April 2020. While I absolutely loved this book, I struggled with sharing my thoughts way too soon. However, looking [...]
Do you have that one bookish friend you're not sure what to buy? Do you want to get them books because they love them, but don't know what books to get? Or are you yourself a bookish person who yeah, has some friends who love books too but don't make a big deal about it? [...]
Happy December, folks! I feel like December crept up on us because one minute it was Thanksgiving and the next minute it's all about the holidays. Then again, I guess every year is like that. I think the only difference is that the weekend after Thanksgiving this year was December 1st. While there were a [...]
As a recent advocate for fantasy and a fantasy reader, I felt like it was finally time for me to explore the creators of the fantasy genre.
