Thoughts on recent reading

Hi friends! It's really been awhile, hasn't it? An embarrassingly long time. But a lot of things have happened since then... Mainly, I've been in a reading slump. A two+ years reading slump. I know, the worst kind. Over the past 2-3 years I've read only a couple of dozen books. When compared to all...

Resistance (audiobook) | review | Jaye L Knight

Well. Happy Tuesday, folks! I had a small, peaceful few minutes away from my fam this morning (drinking coffee outside, listening to the birds). I hope you all can find a few minutes away from everything! Today I'm going to highlight/review (in a short fashion) the Resistance audiobook by Jaye L. Knight! Now, if you've...

Song of the Crimson Flower | Julie C Dao | Review

Another review from the archives! I think I read this sometime in summer last year? Or fall? Or maybe not? Idk 😂 Anyways. Hope you are all enjoying your time at home and with your families (that is a nice way to put it, lol)! I'd also love to hear what you are reading/doing to...

Quarantine Happenings

Very original title, IKR? 😛 I just got out of finals week so give me a break lol. Anyways, I'm sure everybody and their brother is doing quarantine* updates ... so here I am, adding yet another one to the internet! I had fun writing this, so hopefully it's fun to read...? Anyways. I am...

Let the Ghosts Speak | review | Bryan Davis

Hey everyone! I want to say that I seriously hope that you have all been staying safe during this COVID pandemic. I know everyone is saying that and that at this point it might come across as cheesy - but I'm genuinely serious. Sending prayers out to you and all of your loved ones! On...

Books With a Dark Academia Feel

This is sort of a "if you like this, then maybe you'll like this" kind of thing. But not. These books all seem kind of unrelated, but, to me, they give off the same vibes. So ... I really have no idea how to encapsulate this feeling I get when reading these books into words,...

Ten Years of Reading (my literary/personal journey through this past decade)

At just about ten years ago, I was basically only reading Magic Treehouse and Rainbow Magic books. Wow, does a decade change everything. Now I am not only reading allll the YA books, I've dipped my chilly toes into the world of New Adult/Adult books with all their dark vibes, and have even begun writing...

Opposite of Always | Justin A Reynolds | review

Hey guys! For me, school is starting up and it's the second week (yay college) so guess who's procrastinating right now???? That's right. For the remainder of the school year near future all of the posts by yours truly will be written out of desperate procrastination. You're welcome. THAT ASIDE. I'm comin' at you with...

Books With Better Sequels

Okay. Let's be real. Sometimes - though it is very far and few between - we like the sequels better than the first book. On the off chance that this happens, we really want to scream it from the mountaintops, right? Because we aren't able to pass up this anomaly. So here I am today,...

Things That NonBookish Folks Don’t Understand

Let's face it. As bookworms, we all do quirky, unexplainable things. So. Hello. I'm figuring if you're reading this post you are one of two people: a bookworm or a not-bookworm. The only two types of people (evil and not-evil, you figure out which is which). I'm here to help you! Or not. It's TBD....
