I was supposed to read this book by Halloween, which tells you just how far behind I am in my reading. Anyway...I have been wanting to read more of Wells' books. I still have to read The Time Machine and War of the Worlds, both of which I hear are really great. However, I decided … Continue reading Book Review: The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells

A Thanksgiving Poem…
This week is pretty busy for me, as I prepare for finals while celebrating Thanksgiving. So I didn't really have time to write a full blog post. Instead of leaving you with nothing, I thought I'd share one of my favorite thanksgiving poems. A Thanksgiving Poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) The sun hath shed … Continue reading A Thanksgiving Poem…
Upcoming Finals, College Update, and Explanations
It is the week of Thanksgiving, which means I have most of the week off from school, giving me a chance to catch up with a lot of homework, as well as study for finals coming up in a couple weeks. I also have to worry about actually celebrating Thanksgiving and trying to catch up … Continue reading Upcoming Finals, College Update, and Explanations
Book Review: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
This is the first book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and a series I've been wanting to read for years. So many people have compared it to the Harry Potter series, which is one of my favorite book series of all time, and yet I never read it growing up. I suppose … Continue reading Book Review: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Book Review: All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
I was forced to read this book for school this semester. I shouldn't be super negative about it, because it has been on my TBR long before I was assigned to read it for one of my history classes, but let's say I had mixed feelings about this book, more personal mixed feelings than I … Continue reading Book Review: All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
Has Writing Ruined My Reading?
You all probably have gotten how much I love reading, maybe by the mere fact that I run a blog dedicated to it. It has consumed my life for nearly two decades, and I would be a very different person now if I had not learned how to read, or been given a love of … Continue reading Has Writing Ruined My Reading?
Book Review: Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance
I've seen this book around a lot, and was a bit curious to read it, but it wasn't until I read Diana's review from Ideas on Papyrus that I knew I had to read it. And, I will say, I wasn't disappointed at all. This book is absolute incredible, and one I could easily recommend … Continue reading Book Review: Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance
Book Review: 11/22/63 by Stephen King
I was hoping to get this book done in October, because I had assumed it was going to be more of a horror, but a part of me is glad I didn't get to it because it is more of a historical fantasy. I also had no idea how long it was until I got … Continue reading Book Review: 11/22/63 by Stephen King
Flip the Page Book Challenge
This is a slightly different type of book tag, but since Jesse the Reader created it over a Youtube a couple months ago, I've been wanting to do it. The whole point of this challenge is to create a new, fictional life for yourself by picking random books and pages from your bookshelves. As always, … Continue reading Flip the Page Book Challenge
The TBR Book Tag
It's mid-November, which means it's about time to get into another book tag. Here is the original post, created by two people, and the moment I saw it, I knew I had to do it. Especially considering how long my TBR is! How do you keep track of your TBR pile? I'm old-fashioned, I know, … Continue reading The TBR Book Tag
