I haven’t exactly hidden my love for romantasy books, specifically ones written by Sarah J. Maas, here on my blog, specifically her ACOTAR and TOG series. Her fantasy writing abilities remind me of the GOAT (greatest of all time, for anyone unfamiliar with the acronym) of fictitious description – J.K. Rowling – and her works … More Reading smut: yay or nay?
If you’re a reader who enjoys the romantasy genre, you’re arguably familiar with two of the biggest series to ever grace the genre category – Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series, as well as her Throne of Glass (TOG) series. I’ve read and then reread all five of the ACOTAR … More ‘Throne of Glass’ versus ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’: which reigns supreme?
Audiobooks and I have come a long way in terms of how we perceive one another. Or, at least, in terms of how I perceive audiobooks. I used to pull my nose up at them because I don’t consider listening to an audiobook to be the same as reading, but now that I’ve come to … More Running out of audiobook listening hours? Try YouTube
As ridiculous as it sounds, the death of a fictional character can be rather upsetting. The reason I say some people might perceive this reaction as ridiculous is that the character in question is not at all real, and if you aren’t someone who attaches themselves emotionally to these sorts of characters, I suppose your … More Which fictional character deaths hit you the hardest?
I am a firm believer in accountability, which is why I am going to be completely transparent with you and admit that I am eating humble pie when it comes to audiobooks. For a long while now, I have scorned the idea of audiobooks because I take issue with people who claim to ‘read’ books, … More Audiobooks: yay or nay?
I’ve mentioned before here on my blog how I took a rather lengthy hiatus from reading on a regular basis. When I finally smartened up and decided to get back into the swing of things, one of the first books I read was A Court of Thorns and Roses, and, naturally, the entire series after … More Do yourself a favour and read ‘Fourth Wing’
I haven’t exactly kept my love for Sarah J. Maas’ “A Court of Thorns and Roses” (ACOTAR) book series a secret here on my blog, and for good reason; aside from the “Harry Potter” series, they’re the best fantasy books I have ever read, and Maas, like J.K. Rowling, possesses the rare but insanely appreciated … More “Assassin’s Blade”: read or rid?
If you don’t consider yourself a reader, I am sorry to inform you that this post is likely not going to tickle your fancy. So, if this is the case and you aren’t someone who enjoys reading, I bid you a good day and ask that you return tomorrow. For those of us still here, … More The beauty of disassociation through books
It seems as though every now and then a book series comes along that snags a spot amongst some of the best of all time. Oftentimes the series in question is of the fantasy genre, which I’m perfectly happy with seeing as fantasy and fiction writing are some of my favourites. I had been seeing … More ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’: is it worth the hype?
I’ll begin this post by being transparent and stating that up until recently, the title of this post would arguably make anyone who knows me personally label me a hypocrite. The reasoning behind this is that while I was an avid reader when I was younger, I took a rather lengthy sabbatical and only began … More You really should read
I possess my Bachelor’s degree in English language and literature, so I suppose it goes without saying that I enjoy reading. Given the copious amounts of reading I was required to do in order to retain my degree, I really don’t think someone can pursue English if they don’t enjoy reading. Unless you’re a glutton … More What are your go-to reads?
If you know me on a personal level, and have for a little while, there is a strong probability you are familiar with my love of Harry Potter. I don’t blame you if you don’t believe me in what I am about to say, but to the best of my recollection, I started reading the … More Can we leave well enough alone?
Reading holds a spot near and dear to my heart. I used to be far more of an avid reader than I am now, although I wish this wasn’t the case. I fell in love with books, reading and words when I was quite young, and I’m pretty sure I had read all of the … More COVID-19 has more kids reading
Similar to my post the other day listing what Rotten Tomatoes deemed as the best flicks of the former year, I thought I would write a post regarding the best books of 2019. Books, to me, are even more subjective than movies are, so as I stated in the best movies post, keep in mind … More The best books of 2019
There’s something unexplainable about holding and reading a book. I can’t exactly pinpoint what it is that gives me such joy, but having an actual text in my hands and turning its pages as I immerse myself deeper and deeper in its plot is a sensation like no other. My mom gave me an article … More The beauty of books
Reading can be a truly incredible experience. Depending on the text you’re reading, and further, your level of interest in said text, reading can be an experience that isn’t easily forgotten. On the other hand, it can also be a nightmare if you’re reading a book that fails to peak your interest. Reading is something … More Three signs that book you’re reading is a keeper
Reading can be such an incredible experience. If you’re an avid reader, chances are you’ve come across a handful of books in your life that impacted you more tremendously than others, for whatever reason. Perhaps the characters were immensely relatable and encouraged you to feel as though you’ve known them for several years; perhaps the … More The Pleasure of Re-Reading Novels
