That's right... I threw three books into the DNF pile this month! I'm actually proud of myself because I'll usually suffer through to finish even if I'm not liking a book. I've done that so many times and I'm just sick of it. Although... there was one book this month I read all the way … Continue reading I Actually DNF’d Three Books!
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
So we are three days into the new year and I've read 2 1/2 books so far. I'd say that's a pretty good start for my reading goal! This year I'm staring my Goodreads Challenge at 50 books, since I read more than that the past two years. It is possible that the number will … Continue reading My 2019 Reading Challenge
Well, it's the last day of the year and I'm glad to say that once again I crushed my reading goal. I originally only said I'd read 25-30 books, and then when I got close to that goal, I raised it to 45... then again to 55 books. I still beat that final goal by six … Continue reading My Year in Books
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
We are over halfway into the year now, and it's been quite a year so far! Not only did I finish my first year of graduate school with a 4.0 GPA, but I have also written and published a book and somehow managed to read (as of this time) 34 books. I really though I'd … Continue reading Mid-Year Reading Report
I don't usually do a reading list, due to the fact I like to go by what I feel like reading. However, I do own a lot of books that I still need to read, so I'm thinking if I make a list of books I want to read in the coming year, I'll want … Continue reading Projected 2018 Reading List
I read a lot more this month than I anticipated, and I'll get to why in just a moment. I'd also like to note that I did in fact buy two more books last month (because I'm a terrible human being) when I said in my October Haul post that I wouldn't buy any more … Continue reading Recent Reads [October 2017]
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
Earlier this year my mom surprised me with a few bookish gifts, including a reading journal. I had toyed with the idea of one in the past, but I had decided that's what Goodreads is for. But when I got that reading journal I began to use it as I read books throughout the year … Continue reading 10 Reasons to Keep a Reading Journal
