Today I wanted to talk about why, even though I listen to lots of audiobooks, I don’t use Audible. Money The biggest and most obvious reason is that Audible costs money to subscribe to. That subscription is separate to what people already pay for Amazon Prime (which I do have) and Kindle Unlimited (which I […]
So I know that a lot of people, book readers in general and book reviewers specifically want to be able to read a book in a day, preferably for a lot of days, maybe in a row. Like, a book a day for 3 months, or maybe more? And I know that there are people […]
I’ve been knocking around this corner of the interwebs for 9 years now. I love my blog. I love that it gives me time for myself doing a hobby I love, I love that I have a set schedule, I love the way it looks, and I love that I have literally thousands of posts. […]
It’s a well known fact that authors need to read books. You can’t be a decent writer if you don’t read. I think it would be great for the bookish community if we could change the current culture of not allowing authors to review books. Reviewing can help to express their opinions on what they […]

Bookmarks! Little things to hold your place in a book! They’re amazing, aren’t they? I never used to think so. Believe it or not, when I was a kid, I never used bookmarks. I memorised the page number I was up to and closed the book. I have no idea why. There were plenty of […]
Hi guys! Today I thought I’d do a fun little post about review books I requested to read for review, but was declined for whatever reason. It’s not meant to be a dig at anyone, it’s supposed to show that even though I’ve been blogging for 8 years, sometimes I still miss out on getting […]
When I was a kid, I used to always read the last page of a book first. I couldn’t help it. I couldn’t stand spending an entire book without already knowing the ending. You know that saying, ‘it’s not the destination, but the journey that matters’? I thought those people were CRAZY. I wouldn’t go […]
