I have been planning to do a post on this topic for a little while now, but had actually been saving it for next Wednesday. I’m sure I’ll wish I had some original content to post when next week gets here, but it seems like now is a very relevant time for this discussion. What […]
Confession: I absolutely pick books based on their covers. Most of the time if a book is gorgeous it is 90% more likely that I will pick it up, even if the title is ridiculous. If the synopsis of a book doesn’t catch my attention, the cover is the saving grace. We all know the […]

Blogging and reading are two of my favorite things. To be honest, they’re kind of my life to the point that it’s sometimes a little embarrassing. Anyone: “What are you good at? What are your hobbies? What do you do all day?” Me: *blank stare* I like books. Nothing makes me sadder than life getting […]
Today’s Topic: Top Ten Five Books Set In Space I’m not quite sure why, but “space” immediately came to mind when I saw today’s topic. I actually don’t read that many sci-fi books, so it was pretty easy to put together my top five! All of these have a setting of different ships or planets […]
