Books I Enjoyed That Are Outside My Comfort Zone

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl formerly hosted at The Broke and the Bookish I’ve made it past the long weekend! Yes, Labor Day here in the US was yesterday and it was my adulting day. Booo! I actually took a couple of days off last week because of my heart issues and my trip to the ER so I am up and running and ready to go to work tomorrow! This year is another year of firsts. I am a creature of habit and because of that, I don’t tend to read outside this […]

Must Have Bookish Apps

Let’s talk about anything bookish! For a few years now, I’ve slowly been moving to digital formats when reading (or listening) to books. I’ve also been listening to audiobooks more, however this year, there’s about an equal split between audio and ebooks. Anyway, I wanted to share my favorite bookish apps that bookworms need to have if you don’t have it already. For Library Readers Libby & Hoopla Apps If you love to read library books, get the Libby app (run by Overdrive) AND the Hoopla app. I wrote detailed descriptions for Libby and Hoopla, so you can go ahead and […]

A Map of My Reading Tastes through the Years

Let’s talk about anything bookish! It’s not surprising when your reading tastes have changed. In fact, I am one of those whose reading tastes have changed significantly over the years. I wrote a post listing a genre that I don’t read anymore. I also wrote a post explaining why my genre preferences have changed. But I haven’t really explained the whys. Which brings me to today’s topic – a map of my reading tastes through the years. It’s hard to explain the change that each individual goes through throughout their life. I don’t want to be profound or anything, […]

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl formerly hosted at The Broke and the Bookish It’s Tuesday and welcome to possibly one of my favorite topics for Top Ten Tuesday – books I loved with fewer than 2,000 ratings on Goodreads!

All I Want for Christmas: Bookish Edition

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl formerly hosted at The Broke and the Bookish Christmas is almost here! I can’t wait to spend a lot of moolah purchasing a lot of bookish items! Although, I have to say that Pierre wins the award of buying me bookish stuff that I didn’t know I wanted! Anyway, he does subscribe to this blog so this post is basically a *tiny* nudge to him to BUY ALL THE THINGS for me! Thanks and I love you! If you want to see the other bookish posts/wishlists that I have done, […]

A reading challenge hosted by @wildandwonderfulreads @jaimearkin @kimberlyfayereads @leighannewrites @pnrbookloverreviews @romanceschmomance @thebookdisciple @zerisse As most of you know, I found this awesome group of romance reading ladies on Instagram and I decided to join them for this November challenge!

Historical Romance Retreat Wrap-Up

Let’s talk about anything bookish! Finally, I’m sharing my wrap-up post for this AMAZING EVENT! I was mostly in vacation mode in the month of September and the first couple of weeks in October had me catching up to real life! Anyway, I had an awesome time at the Historical Romance Retreat (HRR)! This is the first bookish event that I attended for ALL THE DAYS and I LOVED it so much! I have been to other bookish events, but normally, I would always get the weekend pass instead of the full event! The Hotel HRR was held at the historic Mission Inn […]
