Why I Don’t Read Reviews

Hi friends! 👋🏻 I haven’t been actively reviewing books or movies for about six years ago, and it’s unlikely that I’ll ever return to that outside of doing joke reviews on Goodreads and Letterboxd. One of the big reasons for me not reviewing anymore is the fact that I don’t read reviews for anything that is entirely subjective. If it’s a piece of technology or clothing I’m more likely to take a look since those are objective things, but art is subjective and something more personal, so I tend to stay away from reviews of that. reviews just don’t interest…

The Summer Loving Book Tag

Hi friends! 👋🏻 I don’t need to say for the millionth time that I’m not a summer person. I hate heat, I hate sweating, I hate sunlight, I just don’t enjoy anything about it. Anyway, I found this fun tag while searching for summer book tags that aren’t a million years old and I like the look of it! This tag was originally created by Bookables on YouTube! 1. sand in your toes – a book that’s perfect to read on the beach I personally believe that every book is a ‘beach read’ because you can read a book anywhere you like.…

Book Blogging Then vs. Now: How Blogging Has Changed

Hi friends! 👋🏻 So, I disappeared again but I have been so busy with work things that I think it’s completely justified. The beginning of summer turns out to be a very busy time for library staff, especially those who are part of the team that is planning things related to the Summer Reading Challenge. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure out a good schedule for blogging, but we shall see. If you didn’t know already, I have been a book blogger for almost eleven years. And in those eleven years, I’ve seen a lot of things and a lot…

The Pride Flag Book Tag 🏳‍🌈

Hi friends! 👋🏻 It’s the last day of Pride Month and I am finally throwing out my only contribution. I did have a lot of posts planned but things have been very hectic on my end since I went on holiday at the beginning of the month and then came back to a lot of Summer Reading Challenge preparation at work to do. Truly, I am the busiest bee of them all. But anyway, today I am doing the Pride Flag Book Tag, and that rhymes which means that it’s a very good tag! This tag was created by Common Spence on…
