In an attempt to reduce the number of series I’m reading at once, I recently decided to DNF quite a few, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still in the middle of a fair amount. Hopefully I can catch up on most of them and get my current series down to just a few at … More Series I Will Finish in 2023

I’m making a solid effort to reduce the number of series I’m currently reading this year, either by finishing series or DNFing them. But I still have a small list of series I’m eager to get started on once I catch up on the ones I’m already reading. Here are some of the series I’m … More Series I Will Start in 2023

Too many books, not enough time. The usual problem. Most of these books came out last year and I really want to get to them soon. They’re all fantasy, either fairytales or authors I’ve previously loved. I will definitely probably maybe read these books this year. Top 5 Tuesday is hosted by Meeghan Reads Illuminationsby … More Books I Will Definitely Read in 2023

After joining the book community a few years ago, it wasn’t until last year that I made a true effort to get more involved. I started posting more often and more consistently, meeting other people in the community, and paying a lot more attention to recommendations and new releases. While all of that has been … More Bookish Resolutions for 2023

I’ve already got my eye on quite a few books coming out this year, but I’m definitely more excited about some than others. These are the five books I am most anticipating that will be releasing in the first quarter of 2023. I’ve got a mystery sequel, a couple sci-fi, a fantasy, and a sophomore … More Anticipated Reads for Jan-Mar 2023

I try to see the good in everything I read, acknowledging that different books work for different people. But there are certain books that I don’t have to try to see the good in, because I love them entirely as they are. They’re the books I couldn’t put down because I always wanted to know … More Top Five Books of 2022

I’ve never been one to read an author’s entire catalogue. Oftentimes there’s a particular work I love and the rest tend to not capture the same magic. Instead, I love reading things from authors whose works I’ve never read before. Here are five new-to-me authors that I read this year. For most of them, I … More Top Five New Authors of 2022

You shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but you can still judge the cover. And if we’re being honest, some covers are better than others. These are my five favorite covers from books released in 2022 Seeing these all together, I clearly have a style preference. Top 5 Tuesday is hosted by Meeghan Reads … More Top Five Covers of 2022

Although I’ve read more books than I expected to this year, there are still a few specific books that I haven’t gotten around to. I read a ton of long fantasy books, and while still my favorite type of books to read, I occasionally need to switch it up with something lighter or more realistic. … More Top Five books I meant to read in 2022

My favorite stories are ones set in made up places. I like reading fiction to get out of the real world for a while and see all the maybes people can think up. With the inclusion of magic, creatures, and worlds we’ll never get to see, stories set in alternate universes present endless possibilities. Things … More Books Set in an Alternate Universe

I love reading old books set in the future, a future that we’ve already seen. It’s interesting to see what people assume might happen to us and our planet in a few decades or longer. And it’s fun to see if any of those things came to be. And it’s also fun to read stories … More Books Set in the Future

I read a lot of fantasy, set in made up places at made up times, but I still like to settle down with a story set in the real world at a familiar time. They depict real people that may resemble ones we know, in real places that we can visit, and having real experiences, … More Books Set in the Present

Although I wouldn’t necessarily call all of these historical fiction, each of these books are set in the past. The first one is only half set in the past, and three of them are set around the same war, although they each tell very different stories. Real life historical settings and events in books tend … More Books Set in the Past

This time of year, lots of people are leaning into horror and thriller reads, sometimes with cozy mysteries and sometimes with something a bit darker.

With varying flavors of horror, here are five … More Five Horror Recommendations

This weeks prompt for Top Five Tuesday is actually Favorite Book Quotes, but since I don’t tend to remember specific lines from books, at least not off the top of my head, I decided to make my own spin on it. I’ve recently been re-watching the show Firefly, a sci-fi show with a ship and … More Top Five Favorite Firefly Quotes
