Reading and Reviewing Books With Low Average Ratings

Hello friends! It's Vera here today, with a post about novels with low average ratings. I've always felt like my biggest flaw as a reader / blogger is that I pay close attention to books' goodreads average rating. Despite knowing full well that I won't necessarily agree with the majority of readers, I tend to…

Ten Compelling Opening Lines from Books

Hello friends, it's Vera here today and today's post is going to be all about opening lines. 😊 I don't believe that every book has to have a good opening line - I feel like that would be kind of impossible? - but I do love it when a book has a really memorable or…

My All Time Favorite Pieces of Media

Hello friends, it's Vera here today! About two years ago, I wrote a post dedicated to my all time favorite pieces of media. I knew that, despite their name, my all time favorites would keep changing, so my plan was to revisit the post in a couple of years and make an updated list that…

Ranking and Reviewing K.J. Charles’ Novels

Hello friends! Vera here today, and I'm so darn excited for today's post. I've tried to talk myself out of it multiple times knowing that (1) it would take a shit-load of time to write it, (2) in terms of views, it would likely not do that well. But nonetheless, I was unable to abandon…

Fourteen Compelling Opening Lines from Books

Hello friends! In my experience, a lot of the times it takes a few pages - or even a few chapters - for a book to truly catch my attention and make me fully engaged in its story. It's much rarer, as well as special, when a book immediately piques my interest with its very…

Pagan Magic and Religion Collide in The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid

In her forest-veiled pagan village, Évike is the only woman without power, making her an outcast clearly abandoned by the gods. The villagers blame her corrupted bloodline—her father was a Yehuli man, one of the much-loathed servants of the fanatical king. When soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl…

Books That Became Instant Favorites

Hello friends! Today's post was inspired by the rare, incredible feeling I get when I read a book and I immediately know I'll cherish it - if not forever, at least for quite some time. 🥰 For me, these are more than five-star-reads: I can be quite lenient with those and give them out to…
