“She read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live.” -Anne Dillard I could begin this post by telling you how my mom read to me as a child, or my favorite books that I remember best from the early-dawn years of my life. Instead, I will tell you that there’s no one certain date I can…

February Reading Wrap-Up
Hello, everyone! I have been busy this month in terms of reading, so I’m excited to share my wrap-up for the month of February. Side rant: I do not like the system of 1-5 stars. I feel it’s just not enough of a scale to accurately rate books, especially with how subjective reading is. I feel it’s more helpful to find…

Last-Minute Holiday/Winter Reads!
I hope everyone is staying cozy and warm today; we had quite a bit of snow dumped on us, so I ended up staying home. It worked out perfectly, because I had been compiling a little list of fun books that are great for this time of year. If you have someone you need a last-minute gift for, or…

I am a bookworm in every sense…

For Those Who Belong In Bookstores
I am not sure how old I was, but I know I must have been quiet young, simply because I cannot pinpoint a year. My mom was there, and possibly my aunt and grandma. In my memory the bookstore is huge, easily three stories, and the walls are green. The women in my family went on shopping trips in…

January Wrap-Up and TBR
Things I’ve read this month (so far). Some I started reading back in December, some I read this month, some I’m still working on. These are hardbacks, paperbacks, ebooks, audiobooks, magazines. Because I ain’t got no type. First things first….WINTER OF THE WITCH, by Katherin Arden. I’ve been waiting for this book since I finished the second one. Much…
