Kristina Horner made this tag on her channel a while ago, and I've been wanting to do it on here ever since. It's based on the movie "Inside Out," which I LOVE. (I recently added a Sadness vinyl figure to adorn one of my shelves, and now I kinda want a Joy to match.) Here… Continue reading “Inside Out” book tag

Left Bank Books
Today, I went to a really cool indie bookstore in St. Louis called Left Bank Books. I knew about the store because it hosted an event that I ended up not being able to go to - a conversation and signing with Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan. Luckily, the friend I planned to go with… Continue reading Left Bank Books
On Mockingjay Part 2
SPOILER FREE! I saw the big finale to the "Hunger Games" film franchise last night and pretty much left the theater feeling the way I expected to feel: emotionally drained. I'm no film critic, so I'm not going to "review" the film, but I want to talk about it and the series as a whole,… Continue reading On Mockingjay Part 2

I don't read books that look like this, so it's easy to know simply based on… Continue reading Judging books by their covers

Here's a tag for today! It's called My Life in Books, and I got it from Zezee with Books. Here goes: Find a book for each of your initials: ERS Count your age along your bookshelf. Which book is it? PS - it's my final day of being 23 Pick a book that is set in… Continue reading My Life in Books tag
On the likeability of protagonists
This post idea has been sitting in my drafts for over a year, and I'm finally writing it. Yay NaBloPoMo! This is probably an unpopular opinion to be expressing, but that's also the reason why I want to express it. Since I started this blog, I've been reading way more book reviews than I ever… Continue reading On the likeability of protagonists
Apps for readers and how I use them
There are a ton of apps out there for reading and other book-related fun. Sometimes it can be overwhelming when trying to figure out which ones to use for which purposes, especially if you want to start cataloging. Some people use certain apps differently than others, and it took me some time to in order to finally create a… Continue reading Apps for readers and how I use them
