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.

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… Continue reading Leaving Books Unrated
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.

{Getting Wordy} Do Books Have an Expiration Date?

So, many-many thanks to Caitlin @ Caitlin Althea who was kind enough to nominate me for the Liebster Award!

Ten Things That Always Comfort Me

Firstly, the holidays are coming up, and for anyone who celebrates them, this can be an extremely stressful period of time.

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… Continue reading Would You Give a Second Chance to Authors Whose Work(s) Disappointed You?
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.
