Reading books, and letting your kids read books, is a very personal choice. Children develop at different speeds and have different experiences which influence them. A lot of books for younger readers are classified for certain ages and then up to certain books being ‘adult’ books. But what does it […]
1 This post is my thoughts & opinions on what I am seeing. Book covers are a very important part of a book. They look gorgeous on your bookshelf, can be used as marketing tools and (for some of us) are the reason that we buy a book. But one thing […]
If you in any of the book communities either on X/Twitter or Instagram, you have probably been hearing some of the drama. Allegedly, an author negatively review bombing books and positively reviewing her own with fake accounts. First time author Cait Corrain has been accused of doing this and because […]
Due to Senate File 496 in Iowa, there are potentially hundreds of books to be banned in the Urbandale school district.

Recently a fantastic essay came out on BookRiot on “How Should We Feel About Barnes & Nobel Now?” and it has been doing it’s round. If you haven’t given it a read, I highly recommend that you do. The TL;DR is essentially that Barnes & Nobel is coming back and […]
I’ve always heard the rumor that Harvard University has a book bound in human flesh. How creepy is that?! I just wonder why and how….but then that’s such a dark and scary path to start to follow. However, BookRiot’s Elisa Shoenberger wrote a post called “THE TRUE HISTORY OF HUMAN […]

14 Have you ever received a book recommendation from an adult of a classic that you were told you needed to read, but when you picked it up you were disappointed to find you struggled? Then you get a recommendation from a friend for a YA or new adult book and […]
2 I find that a bookstore can really represent a culture. No, I’m not talking about going to your local B&N or conglomerate bookstore. I’m talking about the small bookstore that is a hole in a wall, crammed full of books and smells old! I have a dream of falling into […]
I feel that the idea of banned books, or censoring books, is something attributed to the 80’s. But, it may not be so far into our pasts. Police Officers in South Carolina are trying to get two books removed off of a summer reading list because they feel it displays […]
If you’re anything like me, and a lot of other people, it’s hard to choose what to read during the summer. Unlike in the winter when you can curl up inside and remove a lot of distractions from your point of view, summer reading is harder. You go and sit […]
You know those summer days when you just want to stay in and do absolutely nothing. You just want to curl up with a good book, maybe some tea (or wine, no judgement) and do literally nothing! That’s great! Do that! But do it outside! Go and sit outside. Smell […]
Life just gets in the way. I totally get it. You just have too much to do. Sometimes that is homework, sometimes that is work in general and sometimes it’s family. You just can’t find time to sit down and have a little you time. But it’s needed. If you’re […]
