Bookfessional: Classics I Have Not Read My constantly expanding to-be-read list gets more ridiculous by the day, but I don’t usually think of it in terms of the classics. In fact, any time I get a book that isn’t a new release, if it’s a priority, I try to remember to shelve it as an […]
I’ve been doing brainless data entry-type things this week. Until today . . . Today the cooking madness begins, but before that, it was nothing but mind-numbingly dull BLAH. So did I? a. fall asleep with my eyes open? b. repeatedly bash my head into my keyboard? c. multitask and inhale season one of Legends […]
Bookfessional: My Bookish Wishlist Next week my fellow Americans and I will be celebrating Thanksgiving . . . and by “celebrating,” I mean eating triple our bodyweight in butter and PIE. *throws confetti in the air* *shakes significantly larger booty* *does not care* After that . . . well, after that the frenzy that is […]
If you aren’t sure what a “squawk” is, start watching the YouTube video at 0:15: That, my friends, is a squawk. The reason for this squawk is b/c I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel. YES, I vehemently oppose anything that resembles reader-shaming, and I feel equally strongly about owning what you love . . […]
Bookfessional: Reader Quirks Any time we do anything on a regular basis, we develop habits. Constantly misplace your keys? Put a key bowl on the bookshelf by the front door. Husband devours your favorite snack b/c it’s there? Put it on a different shelf (b/c if it’s not where it’s “supposed” to be, it doesn’t […]
This book gave me FEELINGS . . . . . . few of them good. For the first time in a WoT reread, I found myself absolutely hating the content. HATING. The only reason NEW SPRING didn’t get one-starred is b/c there are more than a few poignant Lan moments. But without those . . […]
My knee jerk reaction to ARCHANGEL’S HEART is to say it was a roller coaster. But that’s not right. I wasn’t up and down and sideways on repeat from start to finish. It was more that I was way, way down, struggling up that first incline until somewhere between 25 – 30%, then I hit […]
Bookfessional: Goodreads Choice Awards 2016 Yesterday began the first round of this year’s voting for our favorite books in various genres on Goodreads! *throws confetti in the air* Personally, I love this time of year. I love checking out the different categories and dithering over whether Saga, Volume 6 or Monstress should get my vote […]
CROSSROADS OF TWILIGHT is notoriously many WoT fans’ least favorite book in series. It’s been years since I last read it, so I let all the negative hype get to me, and I started dreading my revisit, but it wasn’t half as bad as people made it out to be. I think the main problem […]
There will be SPOILERS. I figure at this point in the series, the only people intelligently reading my reviews are fellow WoT veterans, so I’m not going to sweat the small stuff. I’ll still spoiler tag any Game Changers, so if you are a first timer, fear not. BUT. If you prefer to be blind […]
