After all, even if you love your family members, that doesn’t always mean you like them— especially when extended family comes into the mix. I’ve been lucky both in that Thanksgiving at my house has always [...]

Top 5 Wednesday: Books I Want to Read Before 2019
It seems like every time I make a TBR for the year (however large or small), I fall short of that goal. After all, I made one of these posts in January and failed miserably in following through. I’ve read a total of one (1) book on that list. Whoops. Hopefully I can do better [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Favorite Vampires
I vant to get your views! Okay, so vampires are considered passé now. But that doesn’t mean we don’t all still love them, at least a little bit. Plus, there’s so much lore around them!

Top 5 Wednesday: Favorite Monsters
Whether they’re in your closet, under your bed, or just in your imagination, monsters have had a grip on all of our minds since childhood. They fill us with terror and exhilaration.

Top 5 Wednesday: Characters I’d Cosplay
It’s Wednesday, my dudes. That means it’s time for another Top 5 Wednesday post! This week’s topic?

Top 5 Wednesday: Books for My Younger Self
Well, it's been a minute since I've done one of these. The past few topics just haven't grabbed me. I had some ideas for last week's topic, but none that I felt weren't going to be everyone's answers. But this week I've got some great answers. Today's topic is books for your younger self. These [...]

Top of the Wednesday to ya! Have I used that opening before? I don’t know. All I know is I’m using it today. Anyway, today’s topic is the top five best books we’ve read so far this year. Despite reading less content, I’ve read some great content. But what are the best books I’ve read? [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Fathers/Father Figures
Father’s Day is just around the corner and, as such, what better Top 5 Wednesday topic than our favorite fictional fathers and father figures! Trying to come up with answers for this made me realize how there really aren’t a lot of great father figures in media. At least not in the books I’ve read. [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Actor Portrayals
Good evening, everyone! It’s time for Top 5 Wednesday again! All throughout the month of May, we get to pick any previous topic from the T5W archives. This week I chose the top five actor portrayals of book characters. I know, I know. The book is always (usually) better than the movie. But that doesn’t [...]
