I like to think I've always been a reader. I remember my parents reading to me; I remember Scholastic book fairs and designated reading time in elementary school; I remember walking to and from the library every single weekend; I remember always being a reader. And thinking about my history of reading also got me thinking about the people who inspired . . .
Listen---we all do it. There's no reason to be ashamed. And yet, I am. Quitting a series is really hard for me. And disappointing. The reason I quit a series isn't always because I don't like it. That can be the case, but sometimes it's not. Sometimes, there are other reasons . . .
So, I don't mean this in the sense of which is created first, because that varies from case to case and can be solved with a simple Google search, which wouldn't make for a very good post, now would it. My real question is, do you consume the book or the movie adaptation first? And [...]
Happy Saturday, everyone! Boy, am I glad it's the weekend... I love my job, but I've been absolutely swamped and extremely stressed out. I'm going to enjoy this weekend and miss it when it's gone. Also, I'm a day late, but happy March! It's hard to believe we're already on the third month of 2019. [...]
Happy snowy Saturday, friends. I don't know about you guys, but here in Ohio we got about 6 inches of snow yesterday. The roads were so bad I had to call off work. That's okay, though---snow days are for reading, and that's exactly what I did. This year I am fiercely determined to reach my [...]
Happy Saturday, and happy December, everybody! Only a month left until 2019. I can't wait to post my end-of-year stuff, per usual. Does anybody else feel like the last 3 months of the year go by super fast? As I was sitting around this evening reading The Night Circus, I was reminded of how extremely annoyed [...]
The answer, my dear readers, is yes: it is. I've been blogging about books for over 4 years now and instagramming about books (or bookstagramming) for about 2. In all time that, I never really sat down to think about or appreciate what technology has done for the literary world. That is, not until I read ...
Hi, guys! Happy weekend. It's been a while since I've thought up anything to write about for this segment. Back in January, I wrote about how I was thinking about trying audiobooks and bookish podcasts. Well, I'm here to tell you that I did try both of these. In fact, it quickly became the best [...]
It's been a while since I've posted one of these random, rambling Saturday posts... There's a reason behind this, and today I kind of want to talk about those reasons. I'll be talking about reading slumps and the reasons why I fall into them, especially here lately. I remember the days before going to college. [...]
Hello, lovies! Thank god it's Saturday, am I right? This week, I'd like to talk about listening to/about books. I have a boring job. And by boring, I mean I deal with people who maintain and inspect foreclosed houses. I have an English degree---I don’t care about foreclosed houses, unless it’s a story about foreclosed [...]
