If you missed last week's post, I've already done the opposite of this, Books I Love: ABC Edition. Just so you don't think I'm always negative. Like the last post, I'm picking books I haven't really mentioned before on my blog. For the record, this blog title may be a bit dramatic. Many of these … Continue reading Books I Hate: ABC Edition

Books I Love: ABC Edition
Several of the blogs I follow have been doing The ABC Book Challenge, where you take one letter of the alphabet and mention the books you've read and the books on your TBR which start with the letter. This seems like waaayyy too much work for me (but props to anyone doing this challenge), so … Continue reading Books I Love: ABC Edition
Book Review: The Princess Bride by William Goldman
I saw The Princess Bride movie when I was probably about eight years old, and have watched it numerous times ever since. It was a part of my childhood, and I'm pretty sure I could say the entire movie verbatim. But, for some reason, I never bothered to read the book. Whether it was because … Continue reading Book Review: The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Reading Wrap-Up: December, 2018
Out with the old, in with the new. But before that, let's take a short pause to do one more reading wrap-up of 2018. I only read 7 books in December, a lot less than I would have liked. I personally think had to do with just how busy I was with the holidays. Things … Continue reading Reading Wrap-Up: December, 2018
Blog/Reading Goals 2019
Usually, I'm inclined not to have many New Year Goals, mostly because of the negative connotations around such resolutions and because they are difficult to follow. However, I wanted to share some general changes you will be seeing on my blog and my reading goals over the course of the coming year. So, this post … Continue reading Blog/Reading Goals 2019
Wrapping Up 2018
The year is coming to an end, and while I will miss it, it's always encouraging to start a new year. This year nothing seemed to go right. Saying that, I have so enjoyed writing this blog and it's helped me in innumerable ways. Usually, I do I short reading wrap-up at the end of … Continue reading Wrapping Up 2018
Book Review: Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
I have seen this book (and its subsequent sequels) on bookstore shelves since I was a child. However, I never bothered to pick it up. I'm not sure why, since the cover is rather appealing. But, apparently the movie adaptation is being made, so I thought it was about time that I tried reading this … Continue reading Book Review: Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 5 Update
So, here I am, finally done with this challenge. On one hand, I'm glad to be done because my life has been so busy the last few weeks (both with the holidays and with selling my house). On the other hand, I did really enjoy the three books I managed to finish. The final book … Continue reading 5 Weeks, 5 Tomes: Week 5 Update
Book Review: Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
I love Charles Dickens, but I have always had a negative view of this book through watching a couple adaptations of it growing up. For one, I hate the idea of a romance centering around a foolish man in love with a cruel woman. It's one of the main reasons I did not like reading … Continue reading Book Review: Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Books I’m Looking Forward To in 2019
I was supposed to post a book review today (namely, Great Expectations), but unfortunately I'm still not done with it. So I'm throwing up this post today and then (let's hope) I'll post the book review on Saturday. So, I used to anticipate books coming out more, but this year I really haven't cared that … Continue reading Books I’m Looking Forward To in 2019
