10 Hyped Books I’m Not Interested In

10 Hyped Books Im Not Interested In

Hi friends! 👋🏻 Today is a freebie for this week’s Top 10 Tuesday prompt so I decided to talk about some very popular and famous books that I’m just not very interested in. There’s nothing wrong with not being interested in a book because we can all read whatever we want, and while sometimes I don’t have a reason, I do have reasons for these ten books. Remember, just because someone isn’t interested in your favourite book doesn’t mean that they’re saying it’s a bad book, it’s just not for them. The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang - I love that this…

5 Reasons Why I Didn’t Like Your Discussion Post

5 Reasons Why I Didnt Like Your Discussion Post

Hi friends! 👋🏻 If you didn’t already know (but you should because I never stop mentioning it), I have been blogging for just over ten years and I have gained a lot of wisdom and experience in that time. Nothing really surprises me in the blogging world anymore since I’ve seen it all, and I feel like this gives me the license to help people out with their blogs. Discussion posts are among my favourite posts to write because there’s something fun about throwing my thoughts into a post and then seeing what other people think, but not everyone gets…

8 Adult Fiction Books That Are Not About ‘Sad People Having Affairs’

Hi friends! 👋🏻 In some online circles, mainly YA fiction circles, adult fiction gets a bit of a bad rap. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve seen an adult online say that they prefer to read YA books because adult books are all about ‘sad people having affairs’. I’m not going to deny that there are a lot of books for adults that are about affairs, but this is the same argument as YA books all being about ‘kids with unpronounceable names engaging in love triangles while overthrowing a dystopian government’ and, in my opinion,…

My Spring 2022 TBR

My Spring 2022 TBR

Hi friends! 👋🏻 We’re now getting back to the warmer months up here in the Northern Hemisphere and while that’s a good thing for a lot of people, I would rather it still be cold because I hate warm weather and I get seasonal depression in summer rather than winter. I’m truly a vampire at heart so too much sunlight isn’t good for me. I missed last week’s Top 10 Tuesday prompt because I am very forgetful, so I am presenting my spring TBR today instead. I haven’t been setting TBRs since I started my job since I now have…

Series I Want to Continue With (Eventually)

Series I Want to Continue With (Eventually)

Hi friends! 👋🏻 I love a good series but I’m really bad at finishing them. Sometimes I start a series and I really love it and I get a little overexcited and buy all the books in the rest of the series and then I end up completely forgetting about them. It’s a vicious cycle that I can’t seem to get out of. There are series where I’ve just given up on them entirely because I either didn’t like the first book, the series was too long for me to commit to, or it had been such a long time…
