It’s! That! Time! Again!! Friends, lovers, enemies, etc…it’s time again for another Bout of Books! Bout of Books is a week-long readathon that runs at various times during the year. Bout of Books 22 is going to be held from May 14-20. Personally, I always use BoB to get ahead on my reading and to […]
Ugh, April has been…the worst month so far since I moved probably. It’s the most depressed I’ve been, the most disasters happened, and overall just not good. I managed to get into two car disasters (the car is fine and I am fine and actually my wallet is pretty fine, but emotionally, I AM NOT […]
This mini-challenge is hosted by Scintillating Reads and can be found here. The idea behind this challenge is to describe a book as vaguely as possible and have people try to guess what it is. The person hosting this challenge, like me, is a librarian, so we get questions like this all the time with […]
This mini-challenge for Dewey’s 24-hour Read-A-Thon is hosted by Purple Owl Reviews and can be found here. The challenge is to write about topics you’d like to see an anthology written about. I’ve never read an anthology, but there have been a lot of anthologies to come out over the past year or so from […]
Today’s the day! It’s Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-A-Thon, in which readers from all over the world start reading in 15 minutes (probably less once I finish this post) and read from 8am today to 8am tomorrow (or whatever their scheduled time is!!)

I was tagged (yay, first time doing a tag where someone actually tagged me!!) to do the Reading Habits Tag by Sophie of Sophie’s Corner! This tag was crated by Jasmine @ Jasmine’s Reading Blog. 1) Bookmarks or random piece of paper? Honestly, I dog-ear pages a lot. I know that’s a cardinal bookish sin, but […]
So this Saturday, April 28, is Dewey’s 24-hour Read-a-Thon. I love read-a-thons and try to participate as much as possible. Unfortunately, this year I am scheduled to work on Dewey day, but I am still going to do my best to participate, because I am allowed to read on desk if my work is done […]
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme now hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. I don’t do it a lot, but when I saw this week’s topic, commonly used words in [x genre], I knew I wanted to do it so I could talk about FANTASY titles! Bone 2. Fire 3. Court […]
I’ve had another influx of bookish acquisitions from publishers, NetGalley, and Edelweiss, and I want to share the books I’m most excited about reading today on the blog. e-ARCs A Blade So Black | L. L. McKinney // This is apparently an Alice in Wonderland retelling, and have I ever mentioned how much I […]
