Hello, friends! If you've been around here for a while, then you know that I'm a big mood reader. And with that comes my inability to stick to a TBR. This post is probably the closest I will ever get to a TBR, but as you'll soon see, my expectations are quite low! I was … Continue reading 10 Books I Want to Read In 2021
As you can see from the title, today I’m going to be discussing female characters and the way they tend to be (horribly) portrayed in fiction. Now to start with, I need to come clean, when I was younger I hated reading about women. Any book where a girl was the main character I tended … Continue reading Missing the Mark: Misogyny in Fiction
Hello, hello! It’s the end of the year (finally), so we’re here here to talk about how successful we were at our 2020 goals, to make our goals for 2021, and to discuss how blogging went for us this year.

But recently I’ve given more thought to what it means to be well read. Because I realized that there’s more … Continue reading What Makes You Well Read?
As you all know tomorrow is Halloween, but what you may not know, is that tomorrow night is officially a blue moon. (A blue moon occurs when there are 2 full moons in one calendar month). Since we both don’t really read spooky or scary books with which we could tie into Halloween, we decided … Continue reading Bookish Blue Moons
As so often happens to me during the semester, I’m feeling slumpy. In terms of reading, in terms of blogging, in terms of commenting. And after trying out 5 books in 2 days and landing on a choice that took me by surprise, I began to think about the kinds of books I gravitate towards … Continue reading Why Reading “Mindless” Books Is So Important to Me
Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Rosie Danan, author of The Roommate.
