This actually annoys me more in product reviews than in book reviews, but it definitely still applies to books too! Sometimes I see a three or four-star rating for a book and after I read the review I notice that nothing negative was mentioned at […]
Have You Ever Been Afraid to Reread a Book?
I’m in a bit of a slump right now. I have a problem where none of the books in my TBR pile sound good. Obviously they sounded good to me at one point, otherwise they wouldn’t be in my TBR. But right now, I just […]
I Don’t “Manage” Blogging – I’m a Mood Lifer
I’ve been reading a lot of posts lately that are titled things like: How do you manage your reading schedule? How do you make time for blogging? School is starting soon—how do you make time for your blog? Then the posts themselves and the comments […]
Why Does Insta-Love Still Exist in Books?
In case you don’t know, insta-love is when a girl meets a boy, has two conversations with him, and then declares her undying love for him. Then the reader leans back, wrinkles up her nose, and thinks to herself, “WTF just happened? She doesn’t even […]
I Love My Daily Routine
I thought it might be fun to walk you through my daily routine as a blogger/freelancer. I actually don’t assign specific hours or times to specific tasks. You know, some freelancers designate a big block of time to “answering emails” or “working on client projects”, […]

I Can’t Remember the Last Time I Loved a Book So Much (After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid)
WOW! WOW WOW WOW! After I Do has COMPLETELY blown me away! I can’t remember the last time I loved a book this much!! The last time I rated a book five stars was Five Ways to Fall and yes, that was a stellar book. […]
Do You Have a Subscribe via Email Option?
Whenever I come across a blog that DOESN’T have a “Subscribe via Email” option for following, I’m floored. Why don’t they? They’re cutting off a huge chunk of would-be followers! If someone doesn’t have their RSS feed link in their sidebar or a Bloglovin’ link […]
Review: The Jewel by Amy Ewing
The Jewel was an awesome book! …until the romance. But more on that later. 😉 I really loved the plot in The Jewel. I think it’s definitely similar in vibe to The Selection (which it’s being compared to). However, my feelings about it are the […]
