Blog Post Ideas That I Discarded

Hi there, it’s Sabrina again, and I’m here to talk to you about some post ideas that I’ve decided to discard!  I did this once last year and it was fun to put together and a good way to ensure my half-baked posts didn’t go to waste, in my opinion.  There have been several posts…

Recommending a Variety of Underrated Books

Hello friends, Vera here. After the fantastic reaction my previous post on underrated books garnered, I decided to come back with another recommendation post like it. As a book blogger, I think it's important to talk about lesser known titles, even if my reach isn't particularly big. Something I didn't love about my last post…

On The Fence: Should I Read These Books?

Hey all, it’s Sabrina 🙂  I have a lot - a lot - of books on my TBR and I know that at this point, I’ll never read them all in my lifetime, especially considering how each month brings more new releases.  I’d be lucky to get to all the new releases I want to…
