More 2026 Releases I Will Pick Up

I was today years old; I figured out that when I have a forehead headache and my laptop malfunctions, I can’t listen to my book while doing the thing I should be doing, and I end up doomscrolling. Anyway, by the time this is up, Dewey’s 24-hour is going on; I’m typically very competitive with … Continue reading More 2026 Releases I Will Pick Up →

First Lines Fridays 25

I have a confession: I haven’t read the books from the last two posts I’m talking about, Dirty Play by Violet Paige and The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolber. I need to read the last one for sure since it’s this month’s climate book club pick, but I had planned one of … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 25 →

Twice A Year Book Tag

I have a feeling that after this book tag, there will be a post about why people are leaving blogging for YouTube. As a matter of fact, I know my friends would follow me if I had a BookTube channel; they would follow me, but when I start talking about my blog, I feel like … Continue reading Twice A Year Book Tag →

Come Unhaul/Review Books With Me Part 1

A few weeks ago, in a post, I asked if you'd like to see my book unhaul. Sarah commented that they would enjoy that (the issue now is I can’t remember which Sarah it was because I went to look for that comment and can’t find it. I picked 20, which I recently read and … Continue reading Come Unhaul/Review Books With Me Part 1 →

First Lines Fridays 22

My reading is questionable, and yeah, if anyone cares, I have started the Kristin Hannah books with The Great Alone. It’s not going as I hoped. I finished it, and I have a better feel for Home Front, but we will see; the issue is that I’m a character-driven reader, not a plot reader. I … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 22 →

First Lines Fridays 21

So I asked ChatGPT to recommend a thriller, and it suggested The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. I wonder how it picked that one, because something tells me it wasn’t as random as I'd hoped. Anyway, it’s a novel I have been wanting to read, so I did. I wanted it to be twisted, as … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 21 →

August Readaithin Announcement & TBR 2026

My eyes are begging me for a nap, but if I don’t do this post now, I will be in trouble because I want to tell you about this readathon, and if I don’t make some kind of TBR, I might not be able to read that book, and I will explain why soon. Next … Continue reading August Readaithin Announcement & TBR 2026 →

First Lines Fridays 17

First Lines Friday is a weekly feature for book lovers that was formerly hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 17 →

Top Five Wednesday/ Books About Books

This might sound dumb, but when I’m planning a post, I’m fearing my brain will give me five more ideas to do instead. I was going to tell you more about the novel This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page, which I read in May and have been thinking about ever since. … Continue reading Top Five Wednesday/ Books About Books →

Top Ten Tuesday/ New To Me Authors

If you saw my post from Saturday, you know that I took part in Dewey’s 24-hour readathon, and I didn’t reach my record of 10 books read, but I did 8, which I will take, since once I took my night medication, I knew it was over. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Artsy Reader … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday/ New To Me Authors →
