Introducing a New Group: UNEXPECTED READATHON TIME!

Hello, lovelies! Have you ever been looking at the weekend (or week) ahead of you, realized you had some free time coming up, and thought, “I wish there was a readathon going on right now!”? No? Just me? Well, whatever, ANYWAYS. ? Helping Kathy with Devour Your TBR has reminded me of how much I loved running a Goodreads group back when I first started blogging, and I decided it would be fun to make a new one! It’s called Unexpected...

ANNOUNCEMENT: Short-a-thon!

It’s time to announce a brand new readathon that I’ll be co-hosting with one of my best friends, Kathy from Books & Munches… SHORT-A-THON! Short-a-thon is a readathon that is going to take place from 12:00AM December 21st to 11:59PM December 31st. (You can go by your own time zone!) The goal is simple: to focus on reading the SHORTEST books in your TBR! These can be short stories, novellas, graphic novels, manga—if it’s got a low page count, it works!...

DISCUSSION: How I'm Celebrating Samhain

I feel like this should go without saying, but just to be clear: THIS IS A NEGATIVITY-FREE ZONE. This is not the space to criticize anyone’s beliefs, argue over what you consider real or not real, convert anyone, etc. If you have anything unkind to say, your comment will simply be deleted in order to keep this a safe and positive space—so please do not spread negativity here! ♥ Hello, everyone! Happy Halloween—or, if you’re a pagan/witch who celebrates, blessed Samhain!...

Horror Recommendations, Pt. II: My Creepy TBR!

In case you missed it, earlier today, I posted pt. I of this recommendations idea: horror books I enjoyed, complete with “creep level” ratings! Definitely go check that post out, too! Spooky Reads I Expect to Enjoy: Everything below this point is a book I have yet to read and cannot vouch for, but they’re all stories that sounded intriguing to me for one reason or another. It’s not my full horror TBR, just the ones I feel confident I’ll...

Horror Recommendations, Pt. I (& a read-along!)

If there’s one post that has been requested of me more than anything else during my entire time hosting this blog, it has to be… A horror recommendation list! Check out pt. II of the list here! But, first… Before we jump into the recommendations, I wanted to take a moment to announce a creepy October read-along! (photo credit to Kathy!) Kathy and I have been discussing an It read-along for ages, so we decided to finally host it in...

DISCUSSION: New Blogging Goals!

Okay, I know it’s not the beginning of the year or anything, but there’s no wrong time for turning over a new leaf (or a few), right? Today, I want to talk about some new blogging goals I’ve set in place for myself! As I’ve mentioned time and time again, you guys are excellent accountability partners—I always find that it’s so much easier to stick to my goals when I’m upfront with you all about them!...

DISCUSSION: Let's Talk About TBR Jars!

Hello, everyone! I wanted to talk about something today that, if you follow my twitter, you probably knew was coming: TBR jars! I’ve thought about making one before, but I always figured that it wouldn’t work for me, since I read a lot of “time sensitive” things (like ARCs and themed TBRs). Then, it occurred to me—a TBR jar could really help me work on my backlist and stick to my book ban! Let me tell you why I think it...
