Another of these ones where I have to Google and comb shelves to try and find some that fit! Made it to ten, but aren’t all great picks, I have to admit! Well, that’s it

What DON’T I love about reading? I mean, it’s basically magic. Here’s why: It lets me visit other places. Sometimes it’s a country I’ve never been to, sometimes it’s a time long past, sometimes it’s a whole other planet or imaginary place. I get to make lots of new friends without, you know, having

This week’s prompt is a person who inspires me. This is my second go at this post, because it took me a while to come up with the right person to talk about. Mainly because of everyone I’ve ever known, read, or learned about, the person who inspires me the most is my kid.

I am writing this well in advance, and realizing that I haven’t even glanced at any lists of books coming up later this year. So I’m about to get into it and take you all along for the ride! Here are the books coming out from September to December that I’m anywhere form mildly curious

This week’s prompt is a special one. We’re to share the top books on our wishlists along with a link to our Amazon wish list (here’s mine) so that we can go around like tiny happiness fairies gifting each other books in honour of Jana’s birthday! So the first thing to say is, happy

I used to love reading outside in the summer. I’d find a spot where I could have my head in the shade, the rest of me in the sun, use my bag as a pillow and just lose myself in another world while soaking up some vitamin D. I can’t enjoy summers the same

We all have books like this. Books we read, and instantly want to forget so we can discover them again for the first time. Books we want to duplicate, or that we wish would inspire lots of copycats. Here are some of the books I instantly wanted more of!

I used to be terrible for doing this. I have so many unread books on my shelves – which is how I like it, better have shelves of books I haven’t read yet than only ones I have. It’s like being surrounded by all these worlds still waiting to be discovered. But it does

I have to admit that I’ve never read an Oscar Wilde book. I know the story of The Picture of Dorian Gray and I’ve seen The Importance of Being Earnest, but I’ve never sat down and read his work. Despite that fact, I feel intimately familiar with his wit just through repeated and extensive

This week’s prompt is one that will either be very easy or surprisingly hard, I’m sure! I have never really paid much attention to how many of the books I read have titles that are complete sentences, so I will be discovering how common it is as I start looking through my shelves! Let’s

This week’s prompt is all about nature. Below I’ve compiled a list of books that either have some form of nature represented on their covers, or are about an element of the natural world, or both:

I’m writing this a bit ahead of time because I’m not going to have time to write it when it’s time to post it. So some of this is a bit of guess work based on what I’m reading now, and a few books I have already read that I think will count as

I have to admit that I don’t often read books about animals. Mainly because authors are cruel, and they often end up getting hurt or killed. And when that happens it breaks me. I can handle pretty much anything gruesome happening to grown up people – my favourite show was Criminal Minds – but

This ties in nicely with last week’s post about Crayola colours! I’ve used a couple of the same ones for this post as well, but hey, colour is colour, right?

I started this post off with the best of intentions, but it kind of slid into the gutter pretty quickly, and there was no getting back on the straight and narrow road once that happened! So these are some actual answers, and then some that would not be appropriate for the age of people

This week’s topic was supposed to be “books I’d gladly throw into the ocean,” but I don’t usually continue with books I dislike, and that means I don’t generally read enough to develop a really strong hatred for books. So I couldn’t think of many I’d want to throw into the ocean. So I

I love literary travels. I love feeling like I’ve been somewhere just because I’ve read about it, and I love when a made up place is so well written that I feel like it’s real. Here are some of the places I’ve read about and would love to go! Of course

I had a surprisingly hard time with this one! And I thought finding books that would make me laugh was tough. Titles are even harder! I used two by the same author because I couldn’t choose which to go with, and I’ve only got eight.
