Don’t Trust My Ratings

I’ve decided to finally come clean. At long last, it’s time to let all of you know that I am a fraud. If you’re ever browsing through Goodreads and see that I gave a book a certain starred rating, I’m going to be the first to inform you that you shouldn’t trust it. I see …

Life Update // Accidental Hiatus

So.... we by mistake disappeared for two weeks. Oops. But we can explain! We promise! It was school’s fault. That’s it. That’s our explanation. We know that we’ve been in school and blogging before, but apparently, during any type of adjustment period, we sort of drop off the grid?  Us when life starts getting busy …

The problem arises when it comes to reading other people's reviews of individual books. While …

Vacation! AKA Why We’re Going on Hiatus

Coincidentally, we both ended up scheduling vacations …

Book Buying Habits

I think we can all agree that it’s lots of fun to buy things. More specifically, buying books is fun. Going to the store, perusing the aisles, running your hand on every single spine there is just so you know what the book feels like. All essential parts of shopping for books. But there are …
