Bookish Questions – Do you read LGBTQ books?
Do you read LGBTQ books? June is Pride Month in the US, so this month seemed like a good time to tackle this question. Being a CIS woman, I don’t go out looking for books that feature LGBTQ characters. However, I am a big supporter of diversity in media. And books are no exception. I…

Do you experience “book hangovers”? Epic Reads describes a “book hangover” as a condition in which attachment to a book or series that has ended causes the reader traumatic emotional distress. It usually lasts for one to two weeks, or until a new book of higher-than-average quality enters the reader’s life. While I don’t get…

I love black and white photography. Really, I just love a black and white color palette. And books, and quilts. So, I included all of them in this week’s photo project.

Read MoreBookish Questions – YA or Adult Literature?
Do you prefer YA or Adult Literature? Can we just stop categorizing books? Who cares if the protagonist is a child, a teen, an adult, or an anthropomorphic cow, as long as the story is good? I love all sorts of books. My favorite series is Harry Potter, which you will always find in the…
Read MoreBookish Questions – An author that you dislike/hate?
Do you have an author that you dislike or hate? As a general rule, I like to think that I don’t hate anyone, but if I had to pick someone for the least liked author award, it would go to Cassandra Clare. I’ve never actually read any of her (very popular) work, and I quite…
Read MoreBook It! – Ravens in the Library
Another month gone. I can hardly stand how fast time seems to go as you get older. It’s crazy. National Library week falls in April, which I love to celebrate. And it was as good of an excuse as any to get a library card from my new local library. (I moved last fall and…
