It’s okay if you didn’t, lol. I just wanted to let you all know that I’m back! I took a month off from blogging to get things straightened up in my life. There are a lot of circumstances I won’t go into right now that kept me from enjoying being a blogger for the last few months. It was starting to become a chore, and I couldn’t have that! I love this blog, I adore all of you, and I always want to do it for the love of books. So I took a month off and now I’m back!…

I was sitting here, moving reviews over to Goodreads and getting posts set up for the coming weeks and I realized something: I haven’t actually posted anything personal on here in a long time. Back when I first started my blog, I used to mix it up! I’d have reviews, muse about books that were coming up, gush about my favorite authors, and occasionally throw in a movie review or two. Lately I’ve been so busy that I’ve only been posting what’s scheduled on my calendar :). I know this is a book blog, but I always like to get to…

Happy Holidays my friends! Are you looking for your next read? Maybe looking for a good way to fill up that new Kindle that found its way under your Christmas tree? If you’re like me, the time after the holidays brings plenty of time for reading, but also a fairly empty wallet. That’s why I’ve turned to bundles. Ever since I first stumbled upon sites like StoryBundle and Humble Bundle, I realized that it’s an amazing way to find new content, support great creators, and even help out charity at the same time! Being able to help someone else with…

Guess time time it is again? I’m so freaking excited! It feels like the time between Bout of Books both runs slow, and insanely quickly. If that even makes any sense? Anyway, let’s get to it! The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books…

Today I spent most of my day wandering around my hometown’s version of Comic Con! I’m a huge fan of comics, graphic novels, and all things horror related. What’s not to love? Seriously! I wandered the floor in a daze. Half caught between staring at things I wanted to buy, and things that were just were created with such insane talent that I couldn’t look away. You know that feeling when you wish you had enough money to buy everything you look at? Yeah, that was me. Anyway I wanted to two of the cool, bookish things I found today!…

This is where I wish I was right now… doesn’t that look heavenly? Hi there bookish friends! *stretches and yawns* Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve actually written anything on here that wasn’t a review, a promotional post, or a giveaway, hasn’t it? I remember when I first started this blog I used to relish in writing random posts. Then, slowly, life got in the way. Full time jobs, with hour long commutes, will do that to you! Still it’s nice to stretch out in here and write some ramblings once in a while. I thought I’d catch…

Those of us in the book blogging world know that social media plays a huge part in everything we do. In fact, the way I stumbled into this playground of bibliophilic goodness was actually through Twitter! Social media is the chain that keeps us all together, keeps us talking about the books we love, and makes it easy for us to find one another. I admit that I have an account on pretty much every social platform out there. I’ve tried them all, loved some and completely abandoned others. So when I saw that BookLikes, a shiny and new book…
