Well, it’s been a week. My kid was sick last weekend. Then my partner got very sick at the end of this week, then I got sick this weekend. So that definitely made this a not so great reading week in terms of amount read. I’m also reading a really long book that I READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | LIBRARY OR BUYING BOOKS?
Well, another easy answer: both. I used to enjoy going to the library with my kid to borrow books – it was fun to explore the shelves and see which the librarians would recommend. Since COVID though, we don’t go in person to indoor spaces that we don’t absolutely have to go to. So READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | TYPOGRAPHIC BOOK COVERS
This is an interesting prompt, because it seems so simple at first, but when you really start to look for books with typographic covers (meaning covers that are mostly words), there is actually so much variation, and so many interesting ways that the words can be placed and used. So here are some I READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Another week gone by just like that! It was a bit of a long one – second week of school for the little one, who managed to pick up some kind of bug that caused a horrendous 24 hours of vomiting and feeling generally horrid. So that was our weekend. Now I’m just waiting READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY LEAST FAVOURITE CHORE
Oh man. I mean, there are so many! How do I narrow it down to just one? I hate all of them. Every single one. I particularly dislike scrubbing bathtubs, because I’ve got a bad back and that always hurts. I also hate changing laundry over for the same reason – lots of bending. READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS (MAYBE) ON MY AUTUMN 2022 TBR
I’m not really one for TBRs, as you all know, so instead of an actual TBR with intent, I’m listing some books that are coming out soon, have come out recently or have been on or near the top of my list of books I really want to read for a while and aren’t READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
It has been a week! My kid just started a new school last week and it’s very different for all of us (in no small part due to getting up earlier than we had to all summer!), so I haven’t gotten as much reading done as I have been. That said, the books I READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | WHAT MAKES ME PICK UP A BOOK
I kind of covered this a little bit last week – there are certain topics that will always attract me to a book. But there are other reasons I’ll pick one up and at least check it out: If it’s been recommended to me or I’ve seen a lot of bookish people talking about READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WITH GEOGRAPHICAL TERMS IN THE TITLE
This is such an interesting prompt! I’d never thought about geographical terms in book titles before, but now that I have I’m seeing them everywhere! Here are some of the books I was able to find fairly easily that have geographical terms in them – I think city was really interesting in the variety READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
I totally forgot to do a post last week – I only noticed when I went looking for my post to see what I’d finished since then! So this week will be a two-fer as I’ll be covering both. Let’s get started! Shelved Last Week I’ve READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | A PLOTLINE I LOVE TO READ
This week’s prompt is the opposite of last week’s but just as difficult. Maybe even harder. Plotlines I always want to read? Well, I do like novels about people who learn about themselves. Especially if they’re people who live alone and kind of like it that way and read a lot. I enjoy a READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I LOVED SO MUCH I HAD TO BUY THEM
I mean, I am usually pretty good at figuring out which books I won’t want to keep and borrowing those ones from the library. So this might be a bit of a challenging prompt for me, but I’ll do my best to come up with some! I can think of one, at least…. READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | A PLOTLINE I WON’T READ
Hmmmm. I mean, I don’t think there are any I absolutely refuse to read. There are always exceptions. But there’s one I do tend to avoid: romance stories where one character is in a relationship and you’re supposed to root for them to fall in love with someone else and either cheat or break READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | SCHOOL FREEBIE – BOOKS THAT TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE A BETTER PERSON
This week’s prompt is a school freebie, so I’ve decided to look at some of the books that taught me how to be a better person. I always think they need to teach kids about feelings more in school, and teach them how to understand other people, employ relativism to accept differences, and, above READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Not as good of a reading week for me this week, but I did discover some new graphic novels that are lovely, and I’m making progress (though slow) in a couple of print books and one audiobook! Let’s dive in. Just Shelved I haven’t read as much this week as READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BOOKMARK, SCRAP PAPER, DOG EAR….?
Oh, this one is easy: All of the above and then some. I’ve been known to dog ear pages when it’s a book I don’t care so much about or when I need to mark a particular poignant passage and don’t have any page markers. I’ve got a huge collection of bookmarks, recently added READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | SERIES I WISH HAD MORE BOOKS
I don’t read that many series, so this is a hard one for me. Made even harder by the fact that I don’t always want more books from the series I do read. So I’ll do my best, but some of these might be a bit of a stretch! READ MORE
LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?
Not my best reading week ever, but also not my worst. I had one book that was a bit of a flop, one that was good, but not fantastic, and one that was a very pleasant surprise. So here they are! Just Shelved Dark Sacred Night is the READ MORE
