I can't write books so I review them instead
HELLO EVERYONE!!! I AM BACK!!! Back in June, I made a post about deciding to go on a blog hiatus. I’ve got to admit, it was a very hard decision for me. I’ve been blogging for a few years, but it was only recently that I connected with other book bloggers. I’ve developed a wonderful…
Yeah, that’s right. You read the title correctly. I’m going to say it loud and proud: I SUPPORT BOOK POLYGAMY! But seriously, what does this mean? According to Goodreads, you can either be a book monogamist or a book polygamist. This refers to how many books you read at one time. If you are a…
Representation and diversity in books has become a major focus point these days. Growing up, I hadn’t really thought about the fact that books generally featured a certain stereotypical character. With the amount of diversity and acceptance that is taking place in our society, it is important that this change in direction is reflected in…
I’M SO SORRY FOR MISSING A WEEK FOR MY DISCUSSION POST! I am literally on the last leg of my Masters and everywhere I turn, there is a time crunch for something. I’ve had to prioritize my school work over my blogging and reading (which is definitely not something I like) and am all over…
Every book has a main character or a group of main characters. These individuals drive the story forward. Their personalities and their future directions are what makes a reader love them and connect with them.

It’s obvious that I love to read. I’m always found with a book (or ereader) in my hands. Even if I’m supposed to be doing work, I would much rather read. When I was younger, my parents would punish me by taking away my books and not my TV privileges. But I have also been…
I’m really weird when it comes to romance. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a conservative family, but I’ve always shied away from anything that is heavily romantic. Kissing scenes in movies? I cover my eyes. Any signs of sparks flying? I leave the room on some excuse. So when I encounter romance in…
I love books. Apart from the food court, I will most likely be found in a bookstore. I’ve always found that the worlds contained within books is more fascinating than my real life! But I don’t buy books. Okay, so slight correction, I buy books but very rarely. Compared to most bookworms and bookstagrammers, my…
I’m so floored by the response I’ve been getting from my discussion posts, and I just want to thank everyone for reading and participating! I’ve loved reading all of your responses. In light of this, I’ve decided to do a little series of discussion posts titled “Bookish Pet Peeves”; I wanted to take the time…
I am the kind of person who loves to motivate people to read. When I meet someone who says “Oh, I don’t read”, my standard response is “That’s because you haven’t found the right book yet.” And then I spend the rest of the conversation trying to find books that I think would suit them.…
