The Best Books With the Found Family Trope

Hello friends! One of my most recent reads - not going to spoil which one just yet, you'll see soon enough - featured a wholesome, beautiful found family, which has prompted me to write a post where I can share some of my favorite examples of this trope. This trope always makes me so soft…

Sharing a Few Unpopular Bookish Opinions

Hello friends, Vera here! This post came about in a weird way - basically, I wanted to share a tiny unpopular opinion with you all (#2 in this post) which prompted me to try to come up with other unpopular opinions I haven't yet shared here. Not saying that all of these are unique -…

My 13 Favourite Slow Paced Books

Hi everyone, it’s Sabrina again!  Typically, I would consider myself to have a preference for fast paced books, but in April I was lucky enough to read two slow paced books that I thought were fantastic.  It got me thinking about other slow paced books that I have loved, so that’s what my post is…

Why I Give Books Star Ratings

Hi everyone, it’s Sabrina!  Recently, I’ve found myself reflecting on why exactly it is that I give star ratings to (most of) the books I read.  To be honest, because of some events recently, I started feeling bad about sharing when I have a negative opinion - or even just a not totally positive opinion…

My Thoughts on the Shadow and Bone Netflix Adaptation

Hello there! I'm always late to the party when it comes to watching and writing about adaptations because it usually takes some time for me to get to these. I'm a big reader — and recently a big (fiction) podcast listener — so I tend to prioritize those two types of media in my free…

Four Books, Four Conflicts: Mini Reviews and Musings

Hi all, it’s Sabrina!  I was in a massive reading slump at the beginning of April, but I’m happy to say I’ve since overcome it and finished reading four books.  This post is me chatting a bit about those four books and the conflicts they caused in me - though I suppose “musings” or “contemplations”…

Recommending Some of My Favorite Atmospheric Books

Hello friends! One thing you should know about me is that I'm the kind of reader that can go through a novel without having a clear vision of the characters or the settings described in the novel. I'd say that I barely, if at all, visualize the characters, while I usually have a vague idea…
