Writer, Reviewer, Book Lover
When I finally admitted to creating and following a new plan that would allow me to follow all, if not most of my creative pursuits I knew there would be a learning curve. It isn't that the setup/concept was difficult, just that starting any new habit takes time, especially when they're good ones. I anticipated... Continue Reading →
There are a lot of books that I read in a year, and for the most part they are relatively simple to figure out the rating for when I reach the ending. Most books tend to leave you with little doubt on your overall feelings at the end. Occasionally though I come across books that... Continue Reading →
One of the pieces of my goal to reading deeper and reviewing better is tweaking my rating system, or rather the elements that factor into how a book can make it to a five star level for me. It's definitely a hard one to take on since I have previously thought of myself as a... Continue Reading →
Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! In terms of beginning of the year holidays, I love the green of St. Patrick's Day perhaps more than Valentine's Day with the red and pink. To celebrate this holiday I figured I would do another book tag, this one by Embuhleeliest. This one is a lot shorter than the... Continue Reading →
This Lowdown post concept actually came from a post I saw on the epic reads Facebook group I've been a part of. A member shared an article they had found where someone had written about Goodreads reviews/reviewers, and their thoughts on them. Most of it was a commentary on how bad the reviews on the...

This one is a little different to the typical discussion topics that I've seen, mainly in the fact that this isn't from the community, but an observation turned question in my head. Romance as a genre is an amazing category of books that in all honesty gets way too much criticism and judgement from non-readers.... Continue Reading →
It's the beginning to another year, and the beginning to over a million different reader's reading challenges (according to Goodreads' count). It's exciting or daunting depending on how you left the last year reading wise. This year is a mix for me since I ended up scaling down my challenge a couple times in 2020... Continue Reading →
2020 was an interesting year for reading, so the goals that were set during that year sort of were met, but the reading slumps I hit made things difficult. Going into 2021 I'm not planning to set as big a goal for reading since this year brings a different version of reading for me. For... Continue Reading →
I would love to say I've never had to deal with a reading slump, or an utter lack of reading, but that would be a huge lie. Whether it's been thanks to a busy schedule, binge watching on Netflix, or just an absence in motivation we all eventually fall prey to a slump. Oddly enough,... Continue Reading →
Between this month and next I somehow scheduled posts that are oddly in tune with my life. Not quite sure how that happened since I'm pretty all over the place with selecting topics (this is where I'm shrugging irl). Regardless of how this topic came to be, balancing life, work, and reading is my current... Continue Reading →
