Book It – #ReadWomen
I adore December. Working for a University, I get 2 weeks off for the Christmas holiday. It gives me lots of time to curl up on the couch with a good book, or three. This December is also #ReadWomen month, so I tried to stick with female authors this month. My exceptions were that Anthony…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – What is the longest series you own?
What is the longest series you own? My first thought when I read this question was the the longest series I own had to be Harry Potter, which comes in at 7 books. But then I realized that my Nancy Drew books are indeed a series. There are currently a total of 175 books in…
Read MoreBook It
I don’t know how it got so cold, but now my absolute favorite thing to do is to spend my time curled up under a quilt (or six) reading a good book. And thanks to the 2015 Reading List from PopSugar, I feel like I’ve found a lot more good books than normal. I’ve already…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – A book that makes you feel comforted?
Do you have a book that makes you feel comforted? There isn’t any one book that makes me feel comforted. For me, it’s more the act of reading. When I am in the middle of a panic attack, or feel anxiety coming on, I find reading to be very calming. More often than not, when…

I love the fall. It’s an amazing time to cozy up on the couch, reading. And October is the perfect time for books with a scary theme. So, of course, I had to read a few of them. You can see the goals for my reading list on the 2015 Reading List from PopSugar. The…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – Do you watch any booktubers?
Do you watch any booktubers? I can honestly say that I don’t really watch any booktubers. I know it’s a big thing, but I can’t seem to get interested in the idea. On occasion, someone I follow on Tumblr will post a video that I decide to watch because it’s from their YouTube channel and…
Read MoreBooklr Questions – Do you like to write reviews?
Do you like to write reviews when you finish a book? I love writing reviews about the things I’ve read. It’s a great way to tell more people that they should be reading the book too. That’s the biggest reason, besides holding myself to my reading challenge, that I started my Book It posts this…
