I've come to realize in my years of using Goodreads is that I need to be careful with it. Not in the same way you need to be careful with Facebook or Twitter though. What I mean is that I have recently noticed that I can be highly influenced by the ratings and reviews on … Continue reading Treading Goodreads Carefully
So I found this tag over at Lau Reads and I couldn't resist doing it myself. Like most of us, I love Harry Potter and will just about always do a tag or quiz that is based off of it. So here we go! – What Hogwarts house are you in? Ravenclaw – What is … Continue reading Harry Potter Book Tag
Like most of us bookworms of the world, I have a TBR list that goes on for miles and I'll probably be crushed by my stack of unread books one day. Everyday it seems like my TBR list grows and I'm constantly taking out books from the library or buying new ones on Amazon or … Continue reading Project Home Library
A problem that I have come across in recent years is looking up book reviews before deciding to buy or even read a book. This is an issue because I might end up missing out on a really good book or end up hating one that everyone else loves. I've been more conscious of this … Continue reading The Review Issue
So I'm trying to keep the updates about my book over on my writing website, but I will let you know that I've chosen a cover and that I'm getting my second editor's notes tomorrow. After that, it'll be (hopefully) smooth sailing to get this book finished and published. Meanwhile, I'm going to share my … Continue reading Guilty Reader Tag
I've seen a few book bloggers and bookstagrammers do posts listing some bookish facts about themselves. We al have our own quirks as readers, as well as what we like and dislike. I love learning new facts about my fellow book nerds, so I thought it'd be fun to list some bookish facts about myself … Continue reading bookish facts about me
Guys, I found the best book tag ever over on Kristin Kraves Books - the 90s book tag! Why is it the best? Because the 90s were the best, duh. I might be biased though, since I was born in 1991 and pretty much my entire childhood was 90s culture (though I am a big … Continue reading The 90s Kid Book Tag
I recently read an article on Book Riot titled 'Why Book Buying Bans Are a Bad Idea' and though the author made some good points, I have to write a counter-post as to why Book Buying Bans can be a good thing. So, while book buying bans are kind of redundant due to the fact … Continue reading Book Buying Bans Can Be a Good Thing
Happy blizzard day guys! Well, for those of us who are impacted by this lovely force of nature. Knowing that there was a snowstorm coming, I planned on knocking out that reorganizing my bookshelves goal off my list, but guess what? I did that yesterday! I ended up with some free time before work and … Continue reading Reorganize Bookshelves: Complete
I thought November went by fast, but dang! December really flew by! I definitely didn't read as much as I thought I would this month, but I think that's because I was just so worn out from the final weeks of classes that I couldn't even think straight. It kind of stinks too, since it's … Continue reading Recent Reads [December 2017]
Is it just me, or did November go by in a week? Yet somehow, I managed to read my average of four books this month. I could've read five or six, but this past week I've been in a slump and just haven't read at all. Part of it is from the holiday weekend, I … Continue reading Recent Reads [November 2017]
Two years ago I wrote a blog post giving you a tour of my room when we moved into our current home. Though I'm pretty sure we'll be moving by this time next year, I'm still loving my room enough to do an updated room tour! And I might as well do it while I … Continue reading Room Tour: 2 Years Later
Hi, I'm Tabby, and I spend my free time taking photos of books. Since June of 2016 I have been an active member of the Bookstagram community - that is, those of us on Instagram who take photos of books and post them on a regular basis. For the most part, each 'bookstagrammer' has an … Continue reading No Photography Like Book Photography
