Recent Book-to-Film Adaptations I Actually Liked
I don’t even watch movies…which makes it all the more surprising that these recent book-to-screen adaptations completely won me over. If you’re wondering which ones are actually worth watching, I’ve got a few recommendations.

My Favorite Audiobooks
On a more positive note from my last post (sometimes, we just need to let the rage out, you know?), I wanted to chat about my favorite audiobooks today! Audiobooks have really been having their moment recently, mostly because they enable us to consume content (a story) and entertain ourselves while doing something like running…
My Least Favorite Literary Characters
In some books, there are characters that make me so utterly infuriated that I want to scream every time their name appears on the page. Half of the time, they’re not even villainous characters, just ones who repulse me on a fundamental level because of their personalities. Much like our lord and savior, Mr. Fitzwilliam…

I’m a book lover,…
My Favorite Books: Romance Edition

I’m not a huge romance reader; I typically gravitate towards fantasy more than anything, but when I’m in the mood to read romance, I want something that makes me believe in love all over again. When I was compiling…
Books I Think Deserve More Hype
It’s been interesting (and extremely gratifying) as a life-long reader to see reading come back around as the thing to do in your free time. I feel like it was so easy to get burnt out from high school and college required reading that a lot of people lost the magic of reading just for…
