When you’re a booklover, you read all kinds of books for all kinds of reasons. Sure, you have your favorite authors and series, but what about the lesser known quantities? Could be the hype, could be a recommendation, but whatever it is, you go into the reading of it with hope. Hope that it will […]
I have a confession to make . . . I don’t have much use for Neil Gaiman as far as full-length novels go. I KNOW. *dons sackcloth* *mortifies flesh* I gave him a more than fair shot, but Neverwhere and The Graveyard Book both bored me to tears, I didn’t make it more than a […]

Bookfessional: Default Book Recs First of all, lemme say that I do still read actual books, and I will be posting reviews again soon. The recent surplus of bookfessionals isn’t indicative of another book funk. I’ve been rereading 1000+ page Brandon Sanderson epic fantasies (that I’ve already reviewed) in preparation for all 1233 pages of […]
