Books, Reading, and everything in between
October arrives with a lot going on. And I mean A LOT! I wanted to hold off a bit on sharing my TBR for the month because I had so many other announcements and content to share! But now that the dust has settled, let's get into the books I'll be reading all through October. [...]
While I was putting this list together, I was thinking about the books I've been wanting to read but never made time for them. Don't you just hate having books you said you'll read and then they languish on the shelf for years? Well, this #FallForFantasy I plan on busting my fantasy TBR with some [...]
Happy September! First, let's get it out of the way: I can't believe it's already September. I feel like we all went into quarantine a month ago and not six months ago. I would be lying if I said it didn't affect my mental health or my reading life. Each month has been different with [...]
TBRs and me have a troubled past. Sometimes, it's a blessing. Most times, it's a curse. But I'm a reader and a blogger and when it comes to accountability and ensuring that the books I present are read, I need it. I've been dictated by my mood way too often and whenever I do, my [...]
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 [...]
Welcome to Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! OMG, this is the month where I celebrate my heritage with some amazing books written by Asian American and Pacific Islander authors. This year, I wanted to do something a little different with my reading. I wanted to still read API authors, but I also didn't want [...]
I'm throwing a little #throwbackthursday post up here today. Recently, I saw someone comment on a February TBR post from 2018. I was surprised someone went back a year to see what I was reading and commented on the post. Wow! However, I also noticed something intriguing about the post; my TBR. Looking back at [...]
TBRs are so elusive. I'm talking about the monthly TBRs we create for ourselves. We set out at the beginning of the month to read X number of books and then we leave the month going "wait, what happened to that list of books I wanted to read?" It honestly made me question whether or [...]
Are you a TBR curator? Do you take the time to put together a loving list of books you'll read over a month? I used to be this person too. This month, I decided to share my TBR and really work to build a TBR that fits my reading life. I put the books I [...]
This year, one of my big goals is to read more nonfiction. Nonfiction is a category I've rarely explored mostly because I'm an escapist and I use reading to leave the confines of my own world and enter another. But on occasion, I do read some nonfiction. My preferred genre is memoirs and autobiographies, though. [...]
