Have I Fallen Out Of Love With Writing Reviews?

Hello friends! Those of you who've been following us for a while may have seen that I don't post a ton of reviews, and even though I wanted to change that after moving to wordpress I think, after more than a year, it's safe to say that that didn't happen. I'm feeling guilty. Back when…

Leaving Books Unrated

Hi, it's Sabrina 🙂  Recently, I had the strange experience of reading The Faster I Walk, The Smaller I Am by Kjersti Skomsvold, a book which touched me deeply in a way I wasn't expecting.  Though I found it difficult to put down, I did not necessarily enjoy reading it.  So, I was left with…

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.

My Feelings About Blogging, Ratings, and a Couple of Fun Facts About Me

Can I just say that I love being tagged and nominated for things? I don't know if it's uncool to admit that, but it always makes me feel so warm and happy and, idk, appreciated? So, many-many thanks to Caitlin @ Caitlin Althea who was kind enough to nominate me for the Liebster Award! She's…

Ten Things That Always Comfort Me

We've just reached December which happens to be one of the most stressful months of the year. Firstly, the holidays are coming up, and for anyone who celebrates them, this can be an extremely stressful period of time. Even though my mom and I usually just invite my dad over, decorating, cooking, and baking can…

Would You Give a Second Chance to Authors Whose Work(s) Disappointed You?

Should we give second chances to authors if we disliked their previous novel(s)? This question has been on my mind for some time, and I'm still unsure about the answer. On the one hand, logic says we should - not only can an author's writing change drastically, but so can the type of stories, the…

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…

Getting Wordy: Have YA Prices Gotten Out of Hand?

Hello friends! I'm a bit worried about posting this discussion, because it's a broad, slightly controversial topic, and it's always scary to share your two cents about something like this. As you've probably gathered from the title, today's post will concentrate on the price of events, swag, and other items or content that relates to…
