Books, Reading, and everything in between
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. [...]
Ahhh fresh book stacks. You have to love them. This month's TBR has a little bit of everything. Because I'm enacting some of my reading goals into this list like keeping my list pretty small, exploring some other genres, and reading nonfiction. When I think about this list, I wish I had the foresight to [...]
A few weeks ago, I put out a short-term project called #tamingtheTBR. This was basically a way for me to clear my bookish calendar for the summer and let me read whatever I want. It's the summer after all and the summer deserves certain types of reads. For me, it's going to be a lot [...]
I think I might have written a post like this in the past, but I've been thinking a lot about books and genres. It's probably because I'm in the process of moving across the country and that means whittling my book piles down to the ones that I truly want to read. I rummaged through [...]
