Category: Top Ten Tuesday

  I’ve got a fair amount on my TBR list this year, but surprisingly there aren’t many really exciting releases (to me personally) coming up that I’m aware of. So below are a mix of the most buzzed about releases that I’m curious to hear other people’s thoughts on or want to read, and a READ MORE

  I’m not sure if I have very many unpopular bookish opinions. I feel like I mostly agree with the majority. But maybe I just think that because I feel this way. So let me state my opinions on some divisive discussions in the book realm and you tell me. Are they unpopular? Books vs READ MORE

  I am not just a reader, I am a book collector. As you can quickly tell by walking into my house, which has bookcases and stacks of books everywhere. I don’t generally lend out my books because I have had some bad experiences of either not getting them back, or getting them back damaged READ MORE

  It’s the endless debate, isn’t it? Book or movie? Well, here are some to which I will eagerly say “Both!” (And a few extras that fall into different categories.) The Martian by Andy Weir   I’m not normally into science fiction, but I was completely sucked into this book, and the movie almost lived READ MORE

  This week’s prompt is inspiring or thought-provoking quotes. Which is a great topic, but I don’t write down quotes. I don’t even mark them in books. So while there have been many that have made me pause recently, I don’t have any way of finding them – other than re-reading all the books, which READ MORE

  Oh man, this week’s prompt takes me back. The first reviews I wrote weren’t for this blog, and the site I wrote them on no longer exists, so I can’t go back to the very beginning. So instead, I’ve gone back and found the first ten reviews I wrote on my original book blog, READ MORE

  Seasonal reads are different for everyone. Some people love to read books set in warm temperatures when it’s winter because it transports them. Others save up snowy backdrops to match their real-life weather conditions. Some people like to read scary books or thrillers when they’re stuck inside so they’re completely absorbed in what they’re READ MORE

  This week’s topic is outrageous things you’ve done for the love of books, and honestly I’m having trouble coming up with much. So I’m going to twist the topic a bit and talk about ridiculous habits bookworms can all relate to! A few of them are a little outrageous, too. 1. Referring to characters READ MORE

  This week’s topic is an interesting one. I remember reading about this in Anne Fadiman’s book Ex Libris. She talked about how most readers have an odd niche interest in their reading – in her case, arctic exploration. She couldn’t explain exactly why, but books on this topic fascinate her and she has a READ MORE

  I’m so excited that this topic has come up now, because I just started listening to audiobooks regularly at the end of last year and I’m thrilled to have finally discovered them. I used to have so much trouble focusing – my mind would keep wandering, then I’d miss stuff, and it’s hard to READ MORE

  If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you know my abysmal track record with setting and completing TBRs. It just doesn’t happen. But I can never resist making them! So here are the books that, at this current moment (and probably only for this one specific moment in time) are READ MORE

  This week’s prompt is stand-alone books that need a sequel. I’m going to attack this from a couple of sides. A few will be books that I felt needed more information or that the story didn’t quite feel finished to me. The other is books that I just loved so much that I would READ MORE

  This week’s prompt is books that I’m on the fence about – books that are coming out soon, but that I’m not sure if I want to read. There are always a lot of these, since there are far more books coming out than one person could ever read. Here are a few I’m READ MORE

  I haven’t been doing a very good job of updating my online TBR, so these aren’t necessarily the most recent books I’ve added to it, but rather the ones I can remember at the moment! Some of these I’m eagerly anticipating, others I have more of a passing interest in.               READ MORE
