Changing My Opinion: How I Feel About People On Book Covers

Hello, Sabrina here!  You’ve probably read the title of this post, so you know what I’m talking about today: book covers with people on them and how my feelings toward them have changed over time.  I’m sure we all have cover trends that we love and loathe - and plenty that we are indifferent towards. …

{Getting Wordy} Am I A Bad Reviewer?

Have you ever asked yourself this question? I sure have, and not necessarily for the most obvious reason. I mean, of course I worry about the quality of my reviews. The book blogging world is filled with people who are able to share their thoughts in such unique ways; these bloggers are funny and smart,…

Results: Five Star Predictions (Pt. 1)

A couple of months ago, I wrote a post about seven titles I was 99.99% sure I'd love. I was excited to see the results of my five star predictions, but even so, it's taken me ages to get to these novels. I'm awful at getting to a fixed TBR, and that's really hindered my…

Did The Hunger Games Hold Up After Our Reread?

Hello friends! With the new Hunger Games novel being published in May, more and more bloggers could be seen rereading the original trilogy, and I, ever the hype-follower, became interested in rereading the trilogy, as well.

Ex-Favorite Authors I’ve Fallen Out Of Love With

Okay, so, first of all - I planned on working on a discussion regarding losing interest in favorite authors... until I realized I've already written about this topic in August. Apparently, university has rotted my brain, wonderful. Either way, that discussion concentrated on one author alone, while this time around I have multiple people to…

{Getting Wordy} Do Books Have an Expiration Date?

As book bloggers, many of us are guilty of prioritizing new releases. Even if you don't request, and/or receive review copies, seeing them everywhere in the blogosphere can and, from the publisher's point of view, is supposed to make you want to buy and read them. Of course, I'm generalizing here - I know multiple…

Dear Authors, Pls Stop: Tropes and Stuff I Wish I Wouldn’t Have to See in Books

Hello, friends! I'm here with a bit negative, a bit complain-y (totally a word!!) post today, where I point out certain things I detest in books and think authors should abandon. Obviously, this is a super-subjective post which is not meant to undermine anyone's opinion, and I'd love to hear your thoughts - especially if…
