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?
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
Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
It seems like a long time since I read a YA fantasy, and even longer since I actually liked one. Going into this book, I basically knew only two things about it: first, it is about a heist and, second, it's set in the same universe as Bardugo's other series Shadow and Bone, which I … Continue reading Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Reading Wrap-up: October, 2019
So, this month was a bit...hectic. I had midterms and a lot of things going on in my personal life, so I wasn't focused on reading at all. I still read 12 books, but not my usual short stories and exclusively read on audiobooks. Since it was October, I wanted to read some horror books, … Continue reading Reading Wrap-up: October, 2019
How Technology Changed Reading
I'm a big reader. Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of stumbling across one of my blog posts will have guessed that. I am also that type of snobbish reader who still believes real books are better than digital or auditory ones. No, I'm not the type who will shame you for not reading … Continue reading How Technology Changed Reading
Book Review: Bird Box by Josh Malerman
I was introduced to this book when the movie came out 2018, starring Sandra Bullock. I heard the movie was really good and after watching an analysis of the film, I decided to pick up this book to read it myself. Because let's face it, I rarely watch movies and read lots of books. However, … Continue reading Book Review: Bird Box by Josh Malerman
Book Haul: #3
You might be asking yourself: didn't I just post a book haul last month? And the answer is: yes, I did. I'm pretty sure I go to the Goodwill and buy books as a coping mechanism against stress from college. Most college students buy Starbucks or go out partying, but I buy books...it's a problem … Continue reading Book Haul: #3
