Throwback Three: April 2024
Happy almost end of April everyone! I can’t believe next week is gonna be May already [insert *NSYNC meme here]. Next Friday is my birthday, so that’ll be something for me to look forward to. It’s really just been a rough few months lately and I’m definitely beginning to question if I need a career change. I know I need out of my current job, but I think I just might be done with libraries…

10 Bookish Etsy Shops
I actually struggled with this week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt, which is a freebie. I kind of feel like I’m spent on my own ideas for blog posts and I’ve been relying on the prompted ones to think of anything to write, as well as reviews (which I have to catch up on). I finally decided to go with sharing some bookish Etsy shops that I follow and/or have purchased from. I’ve gotten such cool items…

Review: Heroes
December 6, 1941: Best friends Frank and Stanley have it good. Their dads are Navy pilots stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and the boys get a front-row view of the huge battleships and the sparkling water. Yes, World War II is raging in Europe and in Asia, but the US isn’t involved in the war, and the boys are free to dream about becoming comic book creators. They’ve even invented a superhero…

Review: The Exception to the Rule
One typo, and a boy and girl connect by chance. Wishing each other a happy Valentine’s Day isn’t the end. In fact, it becomes a friendly annual tradition—with rules: no pics, no real names, nothing too personal. As years pass, the rules for their email “dates” are breaking, and they’re sharing more than they imagined—including the urge to ask…what if we actually met? This novella was really…

Throwback Three: March 2024
Well, here we go again! I’m making this a monthly thing, this Throwback Three of mine. Just as I did last month, I’m sharing this on the last Thursday of the month. I think it’s a cool little series and here’s hoping I’ll remember to do it each month – which shouldn’t be that hard since I also do monthly wrap-ups of what I read/watched/etc. Honestly, it’s fun going back and looking at some of my…

They Could've Been Great Books
This is an interesting prompt because it’s usually “books I’d like to see on screen” – not the other way around. I feel like this took more thought, at least for me it did, because It’s kind of weird to take something made for screen only and put it in word format. I mean, would we like it as much? Would it be as popular as it is on screen? For me, I know I’d like anything that’s on screen in…

Review: Hooked on You
Riley McAllister left the small Arkansas town of Maple Falls after graduating high school, hoping to make it big in New York as a mixed media artist. She’s still pursuing her dream when her grandmother begs her to come home and help her manage the store while she recovers from a broken leg she got after sliding into third base during a church softball game (she was safe, by the way). Riley…

Review: Days at the Morisaki Bookshop
Hidden in Jimbocho, Tokyo, is a booklover’s paradise. On a quiet corner in an old wooden building lies a shop filled with hundreds of second-hand books.Twenty-five-year-old Takako has never liked reading, although the Morisaki bookshop has been in her family for three generations. It is the pride and joy of her uncle Satoru, who has devoted his life to the bookshop since his wife Momoko left him…

Review: The Blonde Identity
It’s the middle of the night in the middle of Paris and a woman just woke up with no memory.She only knows three things for certain:1. She has a splitting headache.2. The hottest guy she has (probably) ever seen is standing over her, telling her to run.And oh yeah…3. People keep trying to kill her.She doesn’t know who. Or why. But when she sees footage of herself fighting off a dozen men there’s…

Ranking Sarah Dessen's Books
I’m going to say upfront that I haven’t read all of Sarah Dessen’s books at this time – I’ve read just over half of her published work so far. In any case, I thought it would be fun to rank those that I have read since I know it’ll be a while before I read all of them (and that’s if I decide to read them all). 8. Someone Like You (1998) This book fell short for me with what I was expecting from…

February 2024 Wrap Up
February felt even longer than January, at least to me it did. Yet, despite it feeling longer I didn’t get a lot of reading done. This is due to that pesky thing we call “work” which has been beyond stressful lately. However, I’m learning to get my brain off of it and the stupid things going on there when I’m not at work because stressing about it literally led to me getting sick these last…

Review: Spare
It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.For Harry, this is that story at last.Before losing…

Throwback Three: Feb 2024
I’ve been struggling for some post ideas for my blog, and it occurred to me that today is Thursday, which my generation loves to celebrate on social media as “Throwback Thursday.” So, I’m going to do that today, especially given that today is an extra day of the year. My general idea for this is that I’ll share three of my old posts that I’d like to get some more love on. As we all know, our…

Review: Woke Up Like This
Planning the perfect prom is one last “to do” on ultra-organized Charlotte Wu’s high school bucket list. So far, so good, if not for a decorating accident that sends Charlotte crash-landing off a ladder, face-first into her obnoxiously ripped archnemesis J. T. Renner. Worse? When Charlotte wakes up, she finds herself in an unfamiliar bed at thirty years old, with her bearded fiancé, Renner, by…
