I don’t know about you, but I am hardly ever disappointed when I read a “classic.” I know that classics are hard to define, and I’m not even going to try defining it. But, in my mind, these ten books I’m about to list are classics and well worth a read for anyone who is [...]

I am notorious for buying books and letting them spend an eternity sitting on my shelf. I certainly own more unread books than read books. I even tried to remedy it in a way by resolving to read at least ten of my own books in 2011–but that sort of fell through, as I counted [...]

Do you remember, when you were younger, how you always wanted to do what everyone else did and have what everyone else had? Well, the topic of this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is “Top Ten Books I Feel Everyone Else Has Read But Me”. (Just to remind you, that’s hosted over at The Broke and the [...]

The topic of today’s Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by The Broke and the Bookish) is the jerks we all know and hate in books we’ve read. As far as my picks go, I’m pretty sure a lot of them will be pretty obvious and possibly redundant with a lot of other bloggers’ picks. But here [...]

I apologize again. This past week was my second week of my first full-time job, so I’m still trying to figure out my time management for when I’m at home. As a result, I’ve been neglecting my blog, at least comparatively to pre-job conditions. The last Top Ten Tuesday theme was a “pick your own” [...]

Over at The Broke and the Bookish, this week’s Top Ten Tuesday theme is Book Covers I Wish I Could Redesign. But I have only once come across a book cover I’d like to change (Luckily, through lots of fan protest, the publisher (Dutton) reconsidered it’s choice. If you care to see my final post [...]
