I'm assuming so. After all, there are books I read when I was much younger that don't impress me now. But there are books I read when I was younger that still captivate or, in certain cases, terrify me. Tastes change. Clothing styles, music, movies, food. A person's tastes change as they get older or … Continue reading Do literary tastes change?
Romances and unusual children by the sea.
A while back, maybe last year, there was a bit of discussion regarding the popularity of m/m books being written by women and the men writing these books being frozen out, so to speak. Going in search of a male writer for a m/m romance, I stumbled upon TJ Klune and his novel The House … Continue reading Romances and unusual children by the sea.
It’s a Scream
Hello my ghosts and goolies, It’s near that time again, the first holiday in what begins the final three months of holidays. Also, my personal favorite, Halloween. A time when the weather gets cooler, the leaves begin to fall, the warm apple cider is brought out and we gorge on chocolate. There’s also campfires and … Continue reading It’s a Scream
Where have all the good Husband Material gone?
Books are like people. Sometimes there are some you just don’t like. There are some you love and keep around you at all times, and then there are a few that you love enough, but then they come back around, it’s like they never left.

What is it about Benedict Cumberbatch?
I have my preferences on books. While some people enjoy nonfiction or memoirs; I prefer fiction.

That said, when I heard about this book: This is not a Book about Benedict Cumberbatch, … Continue reading What is it about Benedict Cumberbatch?
Why are people keeping gates anyway?
It’s been a while friends, since we’ve had a Book Twitter controversy. While I was thinking about what to write this week, an American author wrote out a quote-tweeted thread giving her opinion on the differences between science fiction and fantasy.

Journals AND books!
Just when you think you’ve seen all the cute bookish things, someone hands you something new and you must crow about it. My best friends handed me a package today as a belated birthday present. A lovely tablet cover with a journal and a set of multicolored fine tip felt pens. Anyone who knows me … Continue reading Journals AND books!
A Devilish Good Time
I am under the belief that audiobooks are books, no matter what the current argument is. Just because one isn’t sitting either on their Kindle or with a paper book in their hand does not make the story any less exciting and engaging. Audio dramas, however, are up in the air because, while the stories … Continue reading A Devilish Good Time
Organization? Don’t know them.
I really should be more organized. Book reviews are easy (HA!) Well, not easy but at least I know what I’m doing there. Read a book, review it, post onto blog. It’s these in between posts, where I’m supposed to be talking about other things, book related where I get a little lost. What I … Continue reading Organization? Don’t know them.
