TTT: Books With Colors in the Title

August 4, 2020.Reading time 8 minutes.

This week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic is one of those ones that sounds super easy, right, but then you try to do it, and it’s sneaky hard! Books with colors in the title, like what? I’m only going to use books I’ve already read so I can scream about them appropriately, but damn, this […]

TTT: Best Siblings

July 28, 2020.Reading time 12 minutes.

I don’t know if I’ve ever really mentioned this, but I have two siblings! I’m the oldest, my brother is three years younger, and my sister is seven years younger. We’re the cutest, I know. I’ve never thought that Amy & I look alike at all, but Tommy & I definitely resemble each other. They’re […]

TTT: Authors I’ve Read the Most Books By

July 7, 2020.Reading time 13 minutes.

This week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic for TTT is one of my favorites. I wrote a post a million years ago about my auto-buy authors, and while I could go scroll pack in my posts to try to find it, I’m not because that would take forever, so let’s consider this a kind of […]

TTT: Books to Reread

June 16, 2020.Reading time 10 minutes.

I’m a huge fan of rereading. I don’t do it nearly as often as I’d like to because there are so many other new to me books to read that I get wrapped up in, but if someone told me that I could only reread books for the rest of the year, these would be […]

TTT: Favorite Opening Lines

May 26, 2020.Reading time 8 minutes.

Oh, heck yeah. Opening lines are my favorite. There’s definitely a theme going with mine, too, as you’ll see below, and uh, I’m not ashamed, I pretty much do the same thing with my opening lines. They’re so important, though. If you can hook someone with a powerful opening line, damn, you’ve got them for […]

Duology vs Trilogy vs Standalone

May 25, 2020.Reading time 11 minutes.

Ah yes, the age old argument. What is the perfect number of books for a series? Or perhaps we don’t need a series at all, and we should just have all standalones forever (okay, no thanks, though). The truth is, there is no right or wrong to this, it’s all down to preference and circumstance, […]

Bookshelf Tour: Magic & Research

May 20, 2020.Reading time 9 minutes.

Welcome to the bookshelf tour! Previously: Nonfiction | Buddhism & Yoga | Poetry & Adult Fiction | Adult Fiction & Graphic Novels | Horror & Classics | Tolkien | Contemporary Romance. ICYMI, since I’m not on Booktube, and never will be, I wanted to travel through my shelves on a biweekly adventure on the blog. […]

TAG: The Bookish Bucket List

April 9, 2020.Reading time 15 minutes.

I saw this tag over at Drizzle and Hurricane Books, which was created by Madison’s Inkwell, and it looked like a lot of fun, which is what I think I say with literally every tag ever, but what can you do, I’m an excitable person. I have a lot of hopes and dreams when it […]

TTT: Purple Prose

April 7, 2020.Reading time 9 minutes.

Ah, yes, purple prose, the thing everyone loves to hate and ya girl over here is always down for. I don’t know what it is, I just love language that’s stupidly superfluous and totally over the top. I feel like I don’t shout about the books on this list a whole lot, so why not […]
