SERIESous Discussions: Every once and awhile I will post my random ramblings about a bookish or blogging topic. Feel free to join in by making a comment below or linking back! Waiting for sequel novels–especially when you pre-ordered the inaugural book and finished it the day it was delivered–can be torturous! We all know that …
I attempt to figure out why people want “fiction” to be real-life when the very definition of the word contradicts the very idea. Join in the discussion!
July-September 2016 I was eagerly awaiting this summer for two reasons: travelling vacations + reading…lots and lots of reading!

What are my 7 deadly sins of reading? Find out what author I have a love/hate relationship with and which book I’ve been avoiding for years!
We all have our reading quirks and one of my most compelling is to always stop reading at the end of a chapter (or if it’s one of those books with really long chapters, a page break).

Since the beginning of time, similar things have always been compared to each other: Pepsi or Coke? Lemon or Lime? Boxers or Briefs? And books are no exception! Late last month, I announced that I was taking Throwdown Thursdays–an original feature on my blog–to the meme-leagues by making it a monthly meme others could join …
Top Ten Tuesdays: Is a weekly meme feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish where bloggers post their Top 10 List for an assigned topic! I will not be participating every week, but I will occasionally take a shot at it! You can always find these lists (past, present and original) on my Riffle …
