This week is an interesting prompt – books for people who liked author x. I couldn’t think of enough books to do just one author, so I’ve picked a few different ones. I’m not sure if they’re all that on point, but they connected in my brain at any rate! Isabel Allende: Aimee READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FAMOUS BOOK I NEVER READ (& WHY)
Well, let’s face it, there are TONS of famous books I’ve never read. Most I don’t ever plan to read. So this post could have gone in all kinds of different directions. But I decided to pick one that I feel like most people did, in fact, read in high school. Even people who READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I FOUND BECAUSE OF THE BOOKISH INTERNET (AND YOU GUYS)
I love the bookish internet. Of all the online communities I’ve discovered, it’s the one that is the most interesting, diverse, welcoming and intelligent. I’ve not only found fantastic books through mentions and recommendations from online book sources, but I’ve also found readers I can follow who read similar types of books to me, READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FAVOURITE HISTORICAL FIGURE TO READ ABOUT
I don’t read about historical figures that much. Let’s face it, most of the historical figures you can read about are white men, often the type I wouldn’t want much to do with. I do enjoy reading about women who bucked societal pressures (Megan Mayhew Bergman’s Almost Famous Women was a fascinating read), and READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS ON MY SPRING 2023 TBR
Well, here we are again. Time for another seasonal TBR that I will in no way, shape or form actually follow through on. Ah, the joys of futility, my friends! Well, for the sake of a post, let’s look at the books that would be on my TBR if I had any chance at READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | SOMETHING FUNNY THAT HAPPENED TO ME
Something funny that happened to me. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the past, or because things have felt a bit dismal for a few years now or what. But I have spent weeks now trying to think of a funny thing that happened to READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKISH PEOPLE I’D LIKE TO MEET
There are so many bookish folks I’d love to meet, have a coffee with, or befriend. People who are wise, interesting, funny or have great taste in books. So I’ve got a bit of a varied list here, everyone from smaller BookTubers to authors. I don’t think about this much, so there are probably READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL & WHY
Now the answer to this one will depend on when in my school career you’re talking about. Because most of elementary school I liked anything that allowed me not to have to pay attention to a teacher talking at me and let me work on things myself, but they had to be things I READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | GENRE FREEBIE – BEST MEMOIRS I READ IN THE LAST TWO YEARS
This week’s prompt is a genre freebie, so I’ve decided to focus on memoirs. Partly because there are lots of good ones, partly because I’ve read so many good ones in the past couple of years, and partly because there’s so much variability in formats, themes and styles within that genre. Here are my READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FIRST WEBSITE I REMEMBER VISITING
Well this one should be easy – I don’t. I have zero recollection of the first time I sat down at a computer to logon to the internet, and no clue at all whatsoever what I was doing on it when I did. Now, in my defense, I’m not exactly a kid. We’re talking READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | FAVOURITE HEROINES
I love books with strong female characters. I love it even more when they push boundaries are live in their weirdness or kick some ass. I like when characters in general surprise me, and that goes double for heroines (self-identified included). Molly Weasley, because she’s a complete badass and a great mum The READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | CHARACTERS I LOVE
Any of you who have been around here for a while know I’m not a fan of romance, I don’t often get book crushes, and I am not often overly impressed by bookish matches. I don’t hate them, they just aren’t generally the highlight of the book for me. So rather than focusing on READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKS THAT PLEASANTLY SURPRISED ME
I actually wrote a whole post about this last year, because there were several books I read in 2022 that really did surprise me. I’ll share a couple of my top picks below, though, in case you don’t want to click over: Both of these had difficult main characters, but READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | INTERESTING 2023 DEBUT BOOKS
Some research was required to put together a list of debut books that are coming out in 2023, but once I embarked on said research, I discovered that I had actually already heard of several – I just didn’t know they were debuts at the time! Here are some I’m either interested in reading READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | WHAT DO YOU EAT IN A DAY?
Okay, so I know this is just a random idea for a post, and a lot of people really like talking about what they eat, especially if they’re creative with food or like to eat adventurously. But I do have bit of a cringe response to it, I have to admit. It can be READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS THAT INTIMIDATE(D) ME
Today I’m going to look at some of the books that intimidated me too much to actually read (yet, if ever), as well as some of the books I have actually read that really intimidated me before I tackled them. Too scary to read yet: READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
It’s been a busy and stressful week, so I haven’t gotten as much reading done as I normally do. Just one book finished last week. We’ll see if I’m able to get back to it this week or if this is the beginning of a major slump. Could be the latter as there are READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | SOMETHING I’M PROUD OF DOING
I feel like most of the posts I’ve written so far this year have been a bit on the serious and heavy side. But I’m not done yet, because there are only two things I can think of in recent years that I’m proud of. One is working hard on my relationship with my READ MORE
