It’s a new year and what better way to welcome it into our hearts than by scouring the news for the fantastic book releases 2018 will bring! It took some effort to keep this list to an even 10 but since most of my highly anticipated reads are actually sequels I thought I’d try and make sure to put a few newbies onto this list to promote some standalone novels or series starters that are coming soon! (Note: this list does not include 2018 ARCs already reviewed on my blog) Continue reading
I have had the privilege of reading a a great number of books this year so narrowing it down to only ten favorites was incredibly difficult. But at last here we are. The year 2017 has come to a close and to reflect briefly on those months that have passed I’ve come up with a list of the top ten books I read in the year of 2017 along with some honorable mentions (because it really was too difficult to choose only ten!) all listed in alphabetical order. I say books I read as opposed to books released in 2017 because honestly then creating these yearly lists wouldn’t be as fun or hard. Let me know if you enjoyed any of these as well! What are some of your top books you read this year? Continue reading
I just wanted to write a quick post wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and to thank you for being such wonderful readers of my blog. I absolutely love reading and responding to all of your comments and I enjoy reading the blogs of those of you who have your own! I originally started this blog just for myself. I had just graduated from college, I had no job, no friends, and was at a complete loss for what to do with myself. Well, I could never have predicted how fantastic it is to be a book blogger and it’s all because of you. The book blog community is a large but warm one and I am so glad I stumbled into it. Please have a relaxing, fun, and rejuvenating Christmas and I hope 2018 will be even better. Continue reading
I love strong secondary characters in books. It’s one of the things that’ll make me love a book more or could even save it if I’m not that into it otherwise. So I thought I’d make a post and give my favorites a little shout-out! (Note: I haven’t finished reading all of these series so if one of these characters becomes ridiculous or unbearable then don’t tell me! Haha) Continue reading
Something I noticed about myself the other day when commenting on a fellow book blogger’s review of a book I’d read almost two years ago, was just how much I’ve changed as a reader and reviewer. I enjoyed their review and was curious as to what I wrote in my own review so long ago and what I found surprised me. Continue reading
Hello everyone!
I just wanted to post a heads up that during the month of November I won’t be as active on the blog because I’m going to be participating in NaNoWriMo again!! Continue reading
Another month, another batch of books up on the chopping block! In an effort to cut down my ever-growing TBR list I’ve selected another five seven hopefuls that I’m trying to decide whether I should keep them and read them, or scratch them off my list and wave them farewell. Continue reading
I don’t know about you, but rainy days always makes me crave either a steady movie/TV binge or a luxuriously lazy book binge. For this post I thought I’d share some of my go-to rainy day books 🙂 Honestly some of these aren’t typically my favorite while others I think are the absolute best, but regardless they’re what call to me from my bookshelves whenever the day is long and the rain unrelenting. Strange what weather can do… Continue reading
I cannot believe how quickly time flies! It seems just yesterday that summer began! Well, it’s another month and so I’ve got another five books up on the judgement table. Listed below I’ve selected five books from my TBR list in the hopes that you’ll have read them, heard about them, or just have some sort of advice/vote/opinion for them. Continue reading
