So far, I’ve had a bang-up year for getting my hands on books. Reading them, however, is a completely different activity. This week’s prompt actually feels like it was made for me, since it is about books I was super excited to get my hands on but still […]
I’m really excited for this week’s prompt, which is authors I’d love a new book from. Jana explains that these could be authors that have passed away, who have retired from writing, who have inexplicably gone quiet, or who might just not be able to keep up with […]
I can never, ever remember quotes from books. It’s like that part of my brain has just been powered down or something, but I love reading all the quotes that people have found meaningful. Instead, I’m going to go in a completely different direction, I know, try to […]
First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if, instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? The Rules: First Lines: “It is easier to track an animal—or a […]

Thanks for stopping by—I know I haven’t been the most consistent with these posts, but I’m trying my best. This week I decided to discuss a topic that isn’t contentious, but is a strongly held personal preference. Today’s topic is heroes or villains: which one do you prefer? […]
I’m feeling personally called out by this week’s prompt, which is unread books sitting on my shelves I want to read soon (bonus points if you tell us how long it’s been sitting on your shelf waiting for you.) A lot of the people who read my blog […]
Since I’m awful at planning, I decided to take this week’s prompt in a whole new direction. It’s hard to talk about planning vacations when I have loved ones at risk of war, and I’m expecting a new round of antisemitism. Instead of talking about characters I’d like […]
