This week’s prompt: Do you belong to a book club? If so, how many members do you have? How long has it been going on? Unfortunately I don’t belong to any book clubs, as much as I’d like to. I tried to find some in my area, but there aren’t many, and most of the READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FICTIONAL WORLDS I’D RATHER NOT VISIT
For this one I’d say pretty much any world from a sci-fi or post-apocalyptic novel. Even some fantasy worlds, like the various landscapes in The Lord of the Rings, are not ones I’d want to spend time in, fraught as they are with unexpected danger. I sometimes even have trouble reading about them because the READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I NEVER REVIEWED
There are lots of books I’ve read but not reviewed – some because I read them before I started blogging, some because they were part of a large series and didn’t stand out individually, and some because I didn’t get to the review fast enough and forgot too many details to be able to write READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I’ve had a decent week, not as much reading, but enough that I finished a book or two. I (as usual) left my Valentine’s Day preparations for my kiddo until the last minute, so I had a couple of late nights trying to finish some crochet and sewing stuff! I finished 3 out of 4 READ MORE
BOOK BLOGGER HOP | HAVE I READ NICHOLAS SPARKS’ BOOKS?
This week’s prompt: Have you ever read a Nicholas Sparks romance novel? If so, what is your opinion on his endings? The tricky thing about this question is what if your answer to the question is no? Then what are you supposed to write about this week? So I’m adding my own follow-up question: If READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | WHAT TO READ IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT ADHD
There are tons of topics I love learning about via books – social issues, nature, crafts like crocheting, parenting, other cultures and countries. But I think the topic that most recently tops my list of topics I’m interested in learning about has to be ADHD since at least two members of my family (me being READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOK COVERS THE COLOUR OF LOVE
It’s that time of year again – the arbitrary day on which Hallmark decided we should spend a ridiculous amount of money on cards that will be read once and thrown in the bin, chocolates that lead to inordinate guilt and/or tummy aches, and flowers that’ll be dead in a week. Valentine’s Day! Can you READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
It’s been a busy week, mostly because my kid has been home from school all week since it’s been snowing a lot! School was canceled for a couple of days, then I wasn’t comfortable driving (still a new driver). We did have a wonderful dragon day inspired by Erin and Wyatt at Still Life, With READ MORE
BOOK BLOGGER HOP | HOW TO READ A SERIES WHEN YOU’RE IN YOUR FORTIES
This week’s prompt: Do you prefer to read series one book after another, or can you read other books in between? I used to read more series, and I used to be able to hold the plot and characters in my head from one until the next was published. But as I’ve gotten older I READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | A STORY ABOUT A MEMORABLE ACQUAINTANCE
Hmmmmm, this is an tough one. Partly because I don’t really know where to go with it, but mostly because it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Like the people in my life are a collection of stories rather than people – also most of the stories I can think of that would fall in READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | 2024 BOOKS I MEANT TO READ…
This is one of those post prompts that will inevitably make me feel a bit bad about all the reading I meant to do last year but didn’t get around to. Hopefully the guilt will have abated by the time you’re reading this (I’m writing it a month in advance since 2024 isn’t going to READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Another up and down week, but what other kind are there? My kid is sick again, but it’s just a cold and is getting better. I had my eyes checked this week which lost me a day of reading because the dilation always gives me achy eyes and head for a full day afterwards and READ MORE
BOOK BLOGGER HOP | WHY DID I BUY THAT BOOK?
This week’s prompt: Have you ever asked yourself, “Why did I buy this book?” Oh, absolutely. Many, many times. This didn’t used to happen when I was younger, but now that I’m in my 40s and have lived several lives, my interests and tastes have changed and my book collection has grown. So when I’m READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKS THAT MAKE ME THINK
The prompt for this week was actually book quotes that make you think, but I’m not one for noting down quotes as a general rule and I don’t have time to look for them. So once again, I’m not going to look for quotes (I’ll throw one or two in if I come across them READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | NEW-TO-ME AUTHORS I DISCOVERED IN 2024
I’ve read a lot of books I really enjoyed over the past year, many by authors I hadn’t read before. It’s hard to narrow the list down, so I apologize in advance if this list is longer than it should be (okay, it definitely will be)! Legends & READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I haven’t gotten as much reading done this week, not really sure why. I’ve been watching more TV than last week and feeling pretty tired and low on energy. The end of the week brought a tweaked back, which isn’t a new experience, but is difficult each time it happens. Mostly it’s just a matter READ MORE
BOOK BLOGGER HOP | BOOKS THAT INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE ME
This week’s prompt: What books do you look to for inspiration at the start of the year or to motivate you to make positive changes in your life? I don’t have any specific books I look to for inspiration, rather I look for any book that feels bright and pulls me in. Usually if I’m READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKS THAT MAKE ME LAUGH
This week’s prompt was actually “book quotes that make me laugh,” but I can’t be assed rooting around to try and find specific quotes as I don’t mark or copy them down as I go. So instead, you’re going to get a selection of books that make me laugh: READ MORE
