I still cannot believe I'm making this post. 2015 is falling away, leaving 2016 behind. Where does the time go? Seriously? Between working full-time, writing, taking care of my family and house, and reading I'm lucky I notice the days. But it's here, the end of year posting when everyone puts up their goals, plans,...

Authors To Read In 2016
I figured I'd make a list of authors I want to read at least one book by in 2016. I read a lot of books in a year, and due to my moody reading I can bounce all over the place and read a little bit of everything and not pay attention to goals. There... Continue Reading →
Top 5 Wednesday : Books to Read by the Fire (winter/holiday recommendations)
So... I'm not good at seasonal recommendations, let's be honest here. However the winter is a season in which most people are curled up and reading, stuck inside. So I have a few ideas for these (I'm again going to avoid Harry Potter, everyone will be recommending Harry Potter, lets get real)! Top 5 is... Continue Reading →
2015 #Cramathon TBR
So I thought I'd get in the spirit of things and give this Cramathon a go again. Last time I did one of these I didn't do well and wound up distracted by life. Hopefully this time it'll be easier and more toned down - due to the holidays, and I'll have the time to... Continue Reading →
Guilty Pleasure Reading : Should I feel guilty?
I've been pondering this idea of 'guilty pleasure' reading lately. I'm not sure what brought it on, possibly discussions of genre vs canon and the worth of a reader that I've seen or heard lately. The idea that someone should be ashamed or thought less of for what they read bothers me on a fundamental... Continue Reading →
Top 5 Wednesday : Favorite Retellings
Favorite Retellings. That's a broad category, and a case can be made that almost everything is a retelling of some other, older story. I'm going to try and pick a few different... maybe styles? of retellings. Boy oh boy! Top 5 is of course created by Lainey at GingerReadsLainey. And as usual these are not... Continue Reading →
Mini Reviews : Volume 6
Volume six is going to be a little lackluster I feel. For that, I'm sorry. *shame* Last week was... a blur? I don't remember much of it honestly. But here is what my Goodreads tells me I read! I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella ☆☆☆☆ Chick-lit is something I've not gotten into until... Continue Reading →
Mini-Reviews: Volume 5
We're back! We're also agreeing right now, wrong or right that this is volume 5 and any missing volumes were always there just simply not available to view. If they are there now to look back at then excellent! They've returned! The Duchess War (Book One of The Brothers Sinister Series) by Courtney Milan... Continue Reading →
Books I want to finish BEFORE 2016
Alternately titled : This isn't a TBR, we all know I fail at those Though really I'm aware it is by it's very nature a TBR, I just refuse to call it that. If I call it by it's real name it gives it power. So as of writing this it's December 1st. It'll be December... Continue Reading →
Top 5 Wednesday : Top 5 Audiobooks
This should be an easy one for me! I don't listen to audiobooks often. Usually when I do its by chance, as my hubby is listening while we play WoW. I have occasionally picked up one or two so I think I have enough for a Top 5, as the ones I do have I've... Continue Reading →
