Spring Reading Wrap-Up: Some Standouts
Hello! It seems like every time I sit down to write about the books I've been reading I just... blank. I don't know why. Nothings changed with the books, even the ones I've loved. So I'm going to do a wrap-up of some Spring standouts (doesn't mean the best of just some of the books... Continue Reading →
Some “Maybe” Books… A Wrap-Up
Well they aren't maybe books- they are definitely books. It's more like some recent reads that I didn't love but also didn't hate... but also sometimes can't decide where I come down on them for strangely specific reasons that may not bother you so much. There's also a lot of hype on some of these... Continue Reading →
Life Questions & Bookish Food For Thought
So this post was supposed to be Top 10 Tuesday's How to Tell If You are a Book Lover.. But then I started getting way off track so now it's more like book shower thoughts/ramblings...

Contemplating Changing Opinions & Blogging Life
So at the end of September I will have had this blog for 4 years. I was looking back over old posts to see if my opinions had changed about anything. I reread a couple of books I've loved in the past. I rewatched a bunch of movies. Probably the big one this year I've... Continue Reading →
What They Should Have Said
A little bit of what they should have said. A little bit of what I would have said. Some specific characters. Some general... Mainly me procrastinating on my other writing 🙂 Heroine: I think you should know I am not interested in a romantic relationship. Love Interest: Your thoughts will change by the end of...

Happy Birthday Harry… a Tag & a Ramble
I was tagged by the awesome blogger Sophia Ismaa in the Harry Potter Tag! And since today (July 31st) is Harry's birthday it seemed like fortuitous timing. Also now I can totally (and completely unjustifiably) pat myself on the back and tell myself I'm working on tags. So below I answer the questions and possibly ramble about... Continue Reading →
Signs You Need a Book Buying Ban
This could also be called: Attempting to Get My Shit Together this Summer! I don't really believe in bans- at least not for myself- because the minute I'm banned from something I want it more than anything. But I have been encouraged to think of things as more of a challenge. I mean below is... Continue Reading →
