When every new year rolls around the reading challenges appear like gremlins. In the past I have tried to do the Popsugar Reading Challenge but have failed miserably.  I've also heard of the A to Z reading challenge which sounds interesting to me. I feel like with my giant collection and then all the books … Continue reading Reading Challenges? Love them or hate them? →

It's that time again for some strange donations to the library! Today we have got a very wide variety of donations for your viewing pleasure.  A pretty sketchbook with a red flower on the front (which I liberated from being tossed out) is the first thing on the list. A book on Human Forgiveness that … Continue reading Diverse Donations! →

This was a really good way to start off the year! I had a blast reading some really awesome books as well as some great manga series! I also FINALLY finished Cannery Row by John Steinbeck after reading it for two whole months (spoiler: it wasn't worth it!). I also got to go back home … Continue reading Monthly Recap: January! →

How many books do you own? 20? 50? 200? I'm talking about physical books too, not e-books or audio books. Books that take up room. Books that are stacked high on you bedside table.

Some of them are strange and some of them are just really, really outdated (you'll see). I hope you like this weird little post and if you do I can compile more … Continue reading Diverse Donations →

Welcome to another Weekly Round-Up! This week I read a bunch of really good books and not really anything that I would qualify as "bad". I don't think that I'll have a Worst Books of the Week section this week. I don't want to say hopefully I'll have one next week because no one wants … Continue reading Weekly Round-Up # 13! →

How do you feel about book marks? Are you a fan or do you dog ear the corners of your books? When I was a child I would dog ear alllllll of my books. Now I only dog ear old paperbacks. I love a good bookmark! I have a pretty good sized collection of all … Continue reading Bookmarks vs. dog-earring →

Last Friday I got to go to the afternoon session of the Key West Literary Seminar. Now I have never been to a literary seminar or any kind of book related convention (Everything is usually on the main land) so I wasn't really sure what to expect but it was so much fun!! Have you … Continue reading Key West Literary Seminar! (AKA I am a giant fangirl) →
