  • The Four London Book Tag

    On Halloween this year, the collector’s edition of A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab was released. Even though it’s over a week later, I thought I’d do this tag in honor of that release. It poses questions based on each of the Londons in that series: Gray London, Red London, White London, and

  • The Diverse Books Tag

    In light of recent commentary on the apparent “unrealistic” nature of diversity in books (yes, an actual recent criticism), I thought it would be a good time to do a brief tag celebrating diversity in books.

Both of these books, Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo and Warcross by Marie Lu, are two such books that have come out this

      Well, another month has come and gone. It’s time to wake up Billy Joel. And it’s time for me to tell you about all the books I finished this month. Overall, I finished seven books, but I read a little more than that. You’ll see the books I didn’t finish this month on next

  • As I wrap-up my second viewing of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I thought I’d make a tag based on the show. Nothing fancy, just questions based on the characters and other staple aspects of the show. I tried to be as unique as I could, so let’s see what you think. Mac: A character

  • Hosted by ThoughtsOnTomes Guys, last week something monumental happened… I skipped my first Top 5 Wednesday since becoming a blogger. I just didn’t have any good answers for last week’s topic. But this week seems plenty doable. Today’s topic is series in which the second book is the best. This kind of constrains a person

  • Hosted by ThoughtsOnTomes Do you guys remember that commercial with the camel yelling, “Hump Day!!!”? I think about that every week. Anyway, it’s time for Top 5 Wednesday again! This week’s topic is series that got better with each book. People always like to talk about series that went downhill, but sometimes it’s nice to
