A couple days ago I learned something that has got me totally shook – most people can see images in their mind. Not like actual photographs, but they can imagine things visually. More importantly, I found out that I’m one of 2% of people who can’t do this. It would seem I have aphantasia, which […]

Today’s Topic: Five Misleading Covers Happy Tuesday! This week is all about deceptive covers. It always irks me when I pick up a book expecting something that seems obvious from the cover but find something totally different inside. It’s definitely preferable when a book’s image matches what’s inside, but you know what they say about […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! This week has thankfully been pretty calm compared to the last several. I spent the entire week dreading my upcoming wisdom teeth removal. Honestly, can someone just come make me soup every day and listen to me whine? I cannot express how much I do not want to go […]
Happy Saturday, bookworms! Today I’m bringing back a (revamped) feature for my fellow horror lovers.

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! This week has surprisingly been less busy for me. This year I’ve decided to make a work schedule and actually stick to it, which can be really difficult when you work from home. So far I’ve totally stuck to it and it has left me with weekends WIDE OPEN! […]
I see this discussion come up on Twitter and Facebook every so often and it seems to be making a comeback. Certain people believe that audiobooks don’t “count,” especially towards reading goals like the Goodreads Challenge. The argument I see most often is that listening is fundamentally different from reading words on a page – […]

Today’s Topic: Bookish Discoveries I Made In 2019 Happy Tuesday! This is definitely one of those open ended topics I dread every year, but hurray for me! I actually came up with things I discovered last year! Well, not so much discovered as discovered that I liked them because none of these are secrets. XD […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! This has been a weird week but I did accomplish to read a few books! Getting back into the swing of things after the holiday season is always a bit wonky. I finally hit the treadmill after another week off and now I’m starting to get nervous about that […]
I’m at it again with the 2020 Popsugar Reading Challenge! I failed miserably last year after meeting every category in 2018, so this year I want to get back into the swing of things.

Today’s Topic: Most Anticipated Book Releases for the First Half of 2020 Happy Tuesday! This week’s topic was really hard to narrow down! There are some I cut because of space and a one I left off because I’ve already read and loved it (keep watch for a review this week). There are definitely a […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! Yes, I am indeed still alive. Things got a little overwhelming between holiday candle orders and actually spending the holidays with family in town and I ended up taking an unintentional hiatus. I hate when that happens but I desperately needed some down time away from everything. In the […]
Happy Saturday, everyone! It has been awhile since I’ve done one of these! I actually watched more than this over the past month or so but I’m leaving out all my Christmas movie rewatches.
