I seriously have a problem. So far this month I've bought eleven books for myself, and my mom bought me one. I know that some people buy more in one sitting, but for me, that's a lot. Especially when I consider the fact that some of these books will sit on my bookshelf for anywhere … Continue reading October Book Haul
Well my friends, I'm in a bit of a writing slump at the moment. Just between school, work, and just life in general, I'm a bit burnt out at the moment when I comes to my blog. I've got a list of post ideas though, so I'll try to get those going soon. But for … Continue reading Books I Will Probably Never Read
Hey bookworms! Today I present to you yet another book tag. Why? Because they're fun! That's why! I found this tag on Amber's blog - The Literary Phoenix - and immediately loved it! It's interesting to learn how other readers pick the books they read. We all have our reasons, and they all differ. So … Continue reading How I Choose My Books Tag
My birthday was last week, as you know from my Birthday Tag post, and it was a good one. This year I got a good amount of birthday money (and gift cards) and boy, did I treat myself! Mostly to books. Overall, I bought eight books with my birthday money, and at good deals too. … Continue reading Birthday Book Haul (and such)
I notice a common post among book bloggers, which is a monthly To-Be-Read (TBR) list of books they plan to read that month. I've been wanting to start doing this myself, but I can't for one simple reason - I can't stick to a reading plan. I'm sure other book bloggers have the same problem. … Continue reading Why I Don’t Do a Monthly TBR Post
Happy Friday everyone! I know that Friday isn't always the end of the workweek for most people, myself included, but there is a sense of peace that comes with it being Friday. I can't tell you why that is, but I just know it's there. Today I'll be doing the Reading Habits Tag that I … Continue reading Reading Habits Tag
"Where are you guys? Text me back." That was the last text Carver Briggs ever sent to his best friend Mars, who was driving back from the movies along with their other two best friends, Eli and Blake. He never got a reply to his text. The police found a half-written response to Carver on Mars' phone … Continue reading Goodbye Days [book review]

The Circle, based on a campus that even the most prestigious colleges are jealous of, links up users' emails, social media, banking, and just about any online account they have within a universal operating system.

As much as I love delving into new books there's something about the familiarity of reading a book I've read before, especially if it's been a few years since I've picked the book up. Though I was planning on rereading a few books this year, I really want to now that I can add them … Continue reading 5 Books I Want to Reread This Year
My first book of the year was Wake Up Happy by Michael Strahan. I got this for Christmas and I thought it'd be a good book to start the new year off with. Wake Up Happy is part memoir and part self-help. As Strahan talks about certain events in his life he mentions what he … Continue reading Wake Up Happy [book review]
Happy day after Christmas everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend and any time off you've gotten to celebrate. Now that we're less than a week away from the new year, let's talk goals. More specifically, reading goals. This coming year my goal is to read 40 books. Maybe it sounds like a … Continue reading 2017 Reading Challenge
Time is a precious thing. You’re only allowed so much of it and there are no do-overs. No matter how much we fantasize about time travel, the fact is… it’s never going to happen. With this is mind, I’m making a point to no longer waste my time on things I am not enjoying. If … Continue reading The Case for Not Finishing a Book
This past Monday I was slapped in the face... with a job. I didn't fill out an application nor did I go in for an interview. I was simply asked if I could stop by the library and was offered a job that had opened up that morning. I can't even begin to explain how … Continue reading Unexpected Blessing
