Booksperience: Animal Farm, The Reader, and The Color Purple ...
This is not a book review; this is a BOOKSPERIENCE. A booksperience is a snippet, describing the individual’s “experience” while reading a book. It is a highly unique take; a reader’s thoughts and feelings, rather than an essay telling the reader what to expect from reading any said book.
I should have posted this in March, but time kind of swooshed by and I somehow forgot. Better late than…

Reading Goals: 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die
In my previous post, I talked about how I recently acquired the book 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, and how I had a plan. Well, folks, it’s time for me to divulge how I have prepared myself for this literary journey (challenge?) and how I am actually going to read so many books before I kick the bucket.

How Keeping a Reading Journal Reignited my Passion for Life!
Reading has always been one of my greatest loves in life. From a young age, books have been my dearest passion. With them, I could explore new worlds, learn new things, escape reality, etc. Books were my best friends, my happy place, a solution to all problems. I loved the written word so much that I turned it into a career.
I had gone from reading stories to telling them and then, before I knew…

Are We Living In A Dystopian Novel?
Are We Living in a Dystopian Novel?
When Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games series had a renaissance on TikTok in anticipation of the release of the latest film, A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, it dawned on me how important and almost prophetic Young Adult (YA) dystopian literature has become. While any well-written book is capable of captivating readers, dystopian literature pushes the…

Abbi Glines' Field Party Series Promises Hours of Fun!
I’m a bit of a sucker for good young adult series, regardless of the genre. It’s one of those things I’m no longer shy about saying that out loud. I recently found myself with a room full of laundry that needed to be ironed and thought: “Well, you may as well get a book to listen to while you work yourself to death.” Enter Abbi Glines‘ Field Party series …
Did I mean to binge 7 audiobooks in one…

Every Parent's Worst Nightmare Comes to Life in Playground by Aron Beauregard
Full Disclaimer: Playground by Aron Beauregard is not for the faint of heart! This book contains graphic content. Reader discretion is advised.
I may have been influenced into buying myself a copy of Playground by Aron Beauregard because most BookTokkers said they couldn’t get past page 46 … Oh, how I love a challenge! I mean, how bad could it be? Well, let’s just say that as someone who isn’t…

Gardening Can Be Murder by Martha McDowell
Nestled within the pages of Gardening Can Be Murder: How Poisonous Poppies, Sinister Shovels, and Grim Gardens Have Inspired Mystery Writers by Martha McDowell lies a captivating exploration that intertwines the allure of gardens with the appeal of mystery. As someone who might be more inclined to commit ‘planticide’ than nurture a thriving garden, I found myself ensnared by the relatable title…

Rebrand, Reinvent, Revamp
There’s nothing quite as fun as a good ol’ fashioned rebranding. I absolutely love reinventing myself to keep things fresh and exciting. Considering how fast the world is moving — fast food, fast fashion, and now A.I. — and how attention spans are getting shorter … well, it’s probably for the best to adapt and make things more compelling on my website.
Rebranding …
So, chances are you haven’t had…

Learning To Read The Cards Fate Has Dealt You
Full disclaimer: I’m in no way a professional tarot reader. I like to dabble … Correction. I like to keep my hands busy. Shuffling cards is one of the ways I keep my anxiety at an acceptable level and it just so happens that I enjoy the pretty art on tarot decks or oracle cards. I don’t know enough about tarot to read my own future, let alone someone else’s, but that doesn’t keep me from trying…

Get to Know the Most Powerful Women in Human History!
Get to Know the Most Powerful Women in Human History!
Female rulers tend to be remembered throughout history, whether attempts were made to scrub their names from memory or not. Some were benevolent leaders, others were warriors in their own right. Each queen from around the world, throughout the ages, were unique rulers—individuals that were determined to be remembered. And they should be celebrated as a result.

Wicked Women Throughout History That'll Enchant Readers
Wicked Women Throughout History That’ll Enchant Readers
Women have been demonized throughout the ages for things they’ve allegedly done or not done—depending on the general mood of society at the time. They have been used as cautionary tales, scapegoats, and worse … Are women truly so terrible, though? In Wicked Women of Yore by D. Lawrence-Young, readers are presented with the tales and facts of some of history’s most infamous women, from Eve and…

Dark Country Launch Day: Take a Walk on the Wild Side ...
Dark Country Launch Day: Take a Walk on the Wild Side …
Today is the Dark Country launch day, and I couldn’t be happier. 😁 Of course, those release day nerves are still there and the little voice of worry doesn’t disappear, but I’m also so excited for the world to read this book. Writing this book was, after all, a labor of love. Well, okay, maybe not love per se. It was a story that I needed to write, and through all the blood, sweat, and tears, I…

Fear the Deep with The Meg by Steve Alten
Fear the Deep with The Meg by Steve Alten
Sometimes, I’m just in the mood for sharks. Tiger sharks, bull sharks, great whites, you name it, just give me the om nom nom sharkie goodness and I’m all kinds of happiness. Now, usually when I get in this mood, I turn to movies or documentaries, but I’m pretty sure I’ve watched every shark B-movie and Shark Week documentary in existence. So, I turned to books this time and what an exhilarating…
