What Does It Take To Write A Blog Post

Hello friends! It's been a while, but I'm finally back with a discussion. Part of the reason that I haven't written a discussion post in a while are familiar to you if you've read my more recent wrap ups. I'm busy with school and an internship, and blogging has become something that I struggle to …

Why Do I Blog Hop?

Hello friends! For a while now I've been wanting to do a blog post on how I blog hop, but something hasn't felt quite right. Sure I could share with you how I find new blogs, and I will, but I just kept feeling that I was missing a key element that was relevant to …

How to Break Into a New Genre

Since 2022 has just begun, many of us, including myself, have set ourselves some goals. And if you're a reader (which if you're reading this blog post, you probably are) chances are you've set some reading goals for yourself. Now, I've been reading lots of posts about goals which has helped me spot some common …

Setting Bookish Goals For 2022

You've already seen that I did pretty decently at the goals I set for 2021. However, I do feel like some of the goals I set, specifically the TBR ones, weren't the most realistic. So for 2022 I tried to be a lot more mindful about the goals I'm setting. I started thinking about my …

Did I Achieve My 2021 Bookish Goals?

I'm going to save you some time, and just answer this question for you immediately. Did I achieve my 2021 goals? It depends. If it was a blogging goal, chances are I did pretty well! But if it was a reading or TBR goal, chances are that I failed miserably! So let's go into all …

My Book Buying Habits

I've been doing quite a bit of book buying for the past year or so, and of course that got me thinking about the books I buy. Despite the fact that I now buy more books, my criteria for spending my money on a book have not changed. Even my "impulse" purchases are relatively thought …

The Bad Boy Experiment ft. Experiments of My Own

About a month ago I signed up for the blog tour for the Harlequin Desire books coming out this winter! I had actually never read a Harlequin Series book, but knowing how foundational they were in building up the genre, and having seen them around, I was very intrigued when I got the offer to …

The Benefits of Unhauling Books

I recently unhauled a large number of books from my shelves. Some I had already read, while others were lounging on my TBR. There were hardcovers, paperbacks, and ARCs in the mix. To the average observer it would seem as though there was no rhyme or reason as to why specific books were removed from …

Do I Prioritize Blogging?

Today's post is definitely going to be an interesting one, especially as it had interesting origins. You see, yesterday I finished with all my final assignments, exams, papers, and presentations. Yes, you read that right! I only have one more semester to go as an undergraduate. But because it was finals season, I haven't been …

How Do You Choose Your Rating?

Ratings and reviews are probably one of the biggest topics in the online bookish community. Should you trust reviews? Are ratings as important as reviews? More important? Should ratings have half stars? Do you need to review every book you read? All of these are great questions, but I don't think there will ever be …
