Do you guys every just go out hunting for fun book tags? I do. I like to do the ones trending the community, I really do, but also? It takes me so long to get to them that trying to keep in the trending curves feels a little pointless for me. After all, I just did the #NowWeRise Book Tag, and that one was inspired by the release of Children of Blood and Bone. So yeah, I got to that several months after the sequel was released. I will never be on-trend, haha, but I’m okay with that! I found today’s book […]

Ten Books I Wish More People Were Talking About

I love to shout about the books I love. You may have noticed that pattern among book bloggers – you may love to do it yourself. Some books – like The Night Circus or Ready Player One – everyone is talking about. But then, there are books you think were fantastic, but people just aren’t talking about them as much as you think they deserve. For me, this encompasses most the books on my shelf. If I own it, I probably love it, and want to talk about it. How about you? Here are some books I la-la-love, that I wish got more […]

Empathy-Building Reads For Young Adults

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is all about Back to School – and it’s a freebie! Last year I made a list of some of my favorite books from my school years. This year, I wanted to make a list of books that I thought should taught in schools because of the life-relevant lessons that can be learned from them. In making this list, it occurred to me that most these books probably wouldn’t make it to school reading lists because of the way our country perceives these topics. I’ve chosen books that discuss everything from racism to homophobia and […]

Five Amazing Books I Was Lucky Enough Receive as ARCs (& You Should Read!)

One of the coolest things about being a book blogger – even a little one like me – is the opportunity to get great ARCs. Not all of them are golden, don’t get me wrong. I’m one of those spontaneous bloggers who has requested several books on instinct only to wish I hadn’t. I’ve has some doozies. But, on the other hand, I’ve also gotten lucky here and there, and I’ve been fortunate enough to get to read some really awesome books early and promote them on the blog and elsewhere on the interwebs. Thank you so much to NetGalley and LibraryThing […]

Beachside Reads for the Non-Beachside Person

The last time I can remember actually being at the beach was summer 2016. We were on vacation in Maine with our friends and we all decided to go to Old Orchard Beach. I went, and spent a great deal of time following their toddler around and NOT going in the water. Two reasons: The Northern Atlantic Ocean is cold. Even in June. As it turns out there are THINGS in the ocean. Things that didn’t bother when I was nine, but now am super aware of. Like jellyfish. And giant squids. Odds of seeing a giant squid? Low. Not gonna […]
