Today’s Topic: Five Star Books With Single-Word Titles Happy Tuesday! This week I chose my top ten five star reads with single word titles! Not surprisingly they’re almost all fantasy and several are retellings! I almost feel like some of these are cheating since they’re clearly two words combined into one, but I’m fine with that! […]
In the last few years I have made an attempt to buy books from places other than Amazon for obvious reasons. I’ve tried making more trips to local bookstores. Unfortunately, my local options are Books a Million and a used paperback store that only seems to sell books from the 90s. Of course, I’ve often […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! Well, I’m here to report that this week was no less hectic than the last several. On Monday Kovu was acting weird (for him) and that night we ended up going to the ER. When I left at midnight they’d discovered an extremely high white blood cell count but […]
Happy Saturday, everyone! So I’m actually embarrassed at how much I watched this month but I have an excuse! I was out of commission for a solid week after my wisdom teeth removal and really didn’t have anything else to do. Of course that meant watching movies. Then my dog got sick TWICE and I […]
This week’s topic: Tomorrow is Leap Year. Name one book being released in 2020 that you would prefer to skip. Happy Friday, bookworms!

Hi everyone! It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these and I think it’s about time to jump back into cleaning up my TBR shelves. Goodness knows I’ve added more than enough to make up for the ones I already purged! The Down the TBR Hole meme was started by Lost In a Story and it […]

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! I did the thing! I ran the 10K at Disney World! I was (sadly) awake at 2:45am yesterday, on the bus at 3:30am, and at the event at 4:00. Literally what even is 4am? It was also absolutely FREEZING! My corral wasn’t let out until 6:10, so it was […]

Today’s Topic: The Last Ten Books That Gave Me a Book Hangover Happy Tuesday! This week’s topic is book hangovers. For me that means that I feel completely unable to pick up another book for awhile. I may pick a book up, read three pages, switch to something else, repeat. I don’t know what causes […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! Well, the last two weeks have been a mess. I had my wisdom teeth out on February 3rd and I guess it was fine? I didn’t have any complications, it just really sucked. One of the teeth was a lot more impacted so the recovery was a bit more […]

Today’s Topic: Books On My TBR I Predict Will Be 5-Star Reads Happy Tuesday! This week we’re talking about 5 star predictions! These are always a bit dangerous because sometimes I’m just sooooo far off. Most of these are by authors I’ve previous loved though, so I feel a little more confident about making a […]
HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG Hi everyone! This week has been one long stretch of anxiety because I’m finally getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow. I know I’ve been talking about it already for two weeks, but it’s actually happening and I’m super nervous. I’ve spent the week being super overly dramatic and over prepared, getting […]
Happy Saturday, everyone! Welcome back to Saturday Screen Time! This month I watched a few movies and shows, mostly horror and sci-fi/fantasy (who’s shocked?). I am currently watching the last season of Schitt’s Creek week by week and it’s torture to wait! Sometimes I forget how awful it is not to be able to binge […]
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 […]

Pondathon is here! I had no idea what this was until I saw AJ mention it over at Read All the Things! and I immediately needed to know more. It turns out that this read-a-thon is unlike any I’ve ever seen before and it’s AWESOME! The Pondathon is a co-operative and narrative-driven readathon that sounds so […]
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. If you’ve spent some time around the blog you may know that, despite the fact that I mostly review fantasy, I also have a deep love of horror.
