Books on My Christmas Wishlist

I write out a Christmas wishlist every year and, of course, I include books. This year though I should probably title it my Brandon Sanderson wishlist because he makes quite the appearance. I think there’s only one non-Sanderson book. I might be becoming a bit obsessed. But it is what it is. Let’s get to […]

bookshop.org

Now that we’re inching closer and closer to the holidays, I just wanted to bring bookshop.org back to the discussion. I’ve talked about them before, but I figured now was a perfect time to bring them back up. bookshop.org is an online bookstore that helps support a physical independent bookstore of your choice. It’s a […]

The Turn of the Screw Review

I was really excited to pick up The Turn of the Screw because the synopsis reminded me of one of my favorites, Jane Eyre. But I ended up being quite disappointed in it. So, let’s chat about it. A young governess finds herself at Bly Manor where she takes charge over two hauntingly beautiful children. […]

November 2022 TBR

Welcome to November. Did you have a good Halloween? We went to Chipotle and Dunkin. Then we went home and watched Corpse Bride. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine a better Halloween.

Such Sharp Teeth Review

Such Sharp Teeth is giving me some mixed feelings. I picked it up because I absolutely loved Cackle by the same author. While I enjoyed parts of Such Sharp Teeth it just missed a few things for me. So, let’s get to it. When Rory Morris moves back to her hometown she’s not thrilled. The […]

A Frightfully Good Book Haul

We went to Sarasota, Florida last weekend for a friend’s wedding. And while we were there I had to scope out an independent book store to visit. While I was searching I stumbled across Bookstore1Sarasota. It was a cute modern bookstore with a ton of books to choose from. And since it’s October you know […]

The Book Room is Halloween Ready

I’m a tad late on decorating the book room for Halloween. I usually like to get the decorations up around the first of October, but, hey, life is busy and that doesn’t always work out. So I decided it was better late than never. I put on some Halloween music and got to decorating. The […]

Spooky Bookmarks + Reading Check In

Every Halloween I like to do a fun Halloween craft. And one of my favorites is coloring my own spooky bookmarks. It’s simple, fun, and something I will actually use. I always get my templates from Etsy. There are tons of options. This year I bought them from LakeLifeTeacher. Then I print the template out […]

I just finished Dracul last night and I’m still processing my thoughts on it. So, let’s just jump into this review and see if something comprehensible comes from it. In 1868, Bram Stoker waits in a desolate tower to face Dracul. He prays that he survives this night, but at the same time he is […]
