The Book Blogger Oldie Tag

Hi friends! 👋🏻 A couple of months ago, Holly @ Nut Free Nerd put a blogging twist on Ariel Bissett’s BookTube Oldie Tag, to make it into the Book Blogger Oldie Tag and I loved the idea so much that I just had to do it for myself! I definitely consider myself to be an oldie blogger or a book blog veteran so this is definitely the perfect tag for me. Blogging has been a part of my life for so long that at this point I can’t really imagine not doing it. I have my moments here and there…

Children’s Books Need to Talk About “Disturbing” Subjects

Hi friends! 👋🏻 I’m finally back after an unexpected hiatus. For a while, I’d had some technical difficulties with Bloglovin’ not showing my posts and also giving me a bunch of spam followers, and then I needed to improve my site security and I didn’t know how so that definitely took a hit to my motivation.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Book Tag

I have played Animal Crossing every single day ever since I got it in April, and I have absolutely no regrets about that. I love how soothing it is to play and definitely helps me to feel better when I’m feeling down. If you play it and want to visit my island, let me know! This tag was created by Bec and Angharad @ Two Book Thieves! You can check out their original post here!

My Favourite Book Movies

I have a very strong belief that the movies are not inferior to books, and movie adaptations are definitely not inferior to the books that they are based on. If you ask me, there is a layer of snobbiness to the idea that the book is always better with no exceptions and I don’t agree with it at all. If you like the movie more, then that’s fine. If you don’t want to read the book, that’s also fine. But that is not what I am here to talk about. Today, I wanted to share some of my absolute most…
