Well, I can tell you two things without even checking: first, I was much (much) better at tracking my reading and second, it's like I didn't even try to stop buying books. But, let us look at the cold hard facts. Reading Challenges I participated in so many challenges this year. The Goodreads Reading Challenge, The... Continue Reading →
Frighteningly Good Reads 2018
It is almost October!!! I love the fall. I especially love October. The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, the bugs are dying and reading season is upon us. Truthfully, it is always reading season for me. But for many people summer is apparently a time to go outside and do...outside activities? But now... Continue Reading →

Through the Woods by award winning comic-creator Emily Carroll is a book of five short horror... Continue Reading →
Frighteningly Good Read #3
It is hard to write about things that make me happy when there is so much senseless violence and devastation in world. I was in an utter tailspin after hearing the news of the mass shooting in Las Vegas. My heart breaks for all those who were killed, their families and for the people who... Continue Reading →
NY Times by the Book Tag and a Book Tag Journey
I love book blogs. Sometimes, when I don't write for a while that is because I am knee-deep in reading and enjoying the adventures of literature through the eyes of my fellow book bloggers. Recently, I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Thrice Read, and they had featured a tag called, "New York Times... Continue Reading →
