Hi everyone! So as you’ve probably noticed, it’s been rather quiet this month. To fill some of that silence with good old fashioned debate, I thought I’d resurrect one of the posts that I used to do a lot when I first started this blog! In fact, I’m going to revisit all the topics that have already been done, since there’s a much larger and more diverse set of you now. Sound good? Do you have your discussion caps on? Okay, let’s do this. ================================================================= Today’s topic is: SPOILERS IN REVIEWS From a reader’s standpoint, how do you feel about…

Whoa, I just looked back into my records and realized that I haven’t done one of these posts since December of last year! It’s been a tough year for the blog. I went from working at a job where I had tons of free time, to one where I’m busy pretty much constantly. It’s also been a year of flux and, well, unfortunately my blog has to take a back seat when real life gets crazy :). That’s life. ================================================================== On to the discussion! This time the topic is… ADDING TO MOUNT TBR! All around the internet, from Twitter to…

And…Discuss is a way for me to share a topic I’ve been thinking about, ramble about it for a bit, and then open the floor to your opinions. An open forum for bookaholics! What I love most about these posts is seeing your comments, so share away :). This time the topic is… I’ve mildly touched on this subject here before, but it’s been a few years and my opinions have changed! It used to be that I couldn’t bring myself to mark a book as DNF. I’d struggle through, even when I wasn’t enjoying myself. Why? I can’t really…

Here’s a topic I always think about near the end of the year. A time where Top 10 lists pop up like mad, people reminisce about their favorite reads of the year, and I sit back and ponder what series to continue with. A time of reading reflection if you will! I generally don’t do end of the year lists, mainly because it’s…

RESPONDING TO REVIEW REQUESTS Here is a topic that, especially lately, is near and dear to my heart. I had to close my review requests after only two weeks of having them open this month, simply because I ended up with so many so quickly! I love Indie authors with all my heart and soul. I love reading their books, spouting love for…

And…Discuss is a way for me to share a topic I’ve been thinking about, ramble about it for a bit, and then open the floor to your opinions. An open forum for bookaholics! This time the topic is…. SCHEDULED READING: YAY OR NAY? This week I thought I’d talk about a topic that’s been weighing on my mind a lot lately, especially since my review TBR pile has gotten rather out of control.  If you’re like me, you get so focused on wanting to read ALL THE BOOKS that you forget you’re only one person and (rather unfortunately) can’t devote…

WRITING REVIEWS: SHORT AND SWEET? OR MORE IN DEPTH? So, lovely followers, the majority of you out there are bloggers are you not? We read, we process, and then we get down to the business of staring blankly at our keyboards, or otherwise having our fingers fly across them, as we write out our very important feelings on the matter. Reviews are…

It’s baaaccckkkk!!! And…Discuss is a way for me to share a topic I’ve been thinking about, ramble about it for a bit, and then open the floor to your opinions. An open forum for bookaholics! This time the topic is…. Series or Standalone? What’s your poison? For me, it’s always the question. Do I dare start a series? What happens if I can’t find/afford all the books? What if I get bored part way through? Do I stick to standalone books and avoid crazy cliffhangers that make me want to throw the book across the room? I’ve always been a bit…

It’s about that time again! Time for me to choose a topic, ramble about it for a bit, and then open the floor to your opinions. I just want to shout out a huge thank you to everyone who takes part in these discussions! I think they are a ton of fun, and I look forward to them. This time the topic is…. To Finish, Or Not To Finish? I will be the first to admit that I sometimes don’t finish books. There are just some books out there that I pick up, start to read, and can’t get into…

It’s that time again! Time to do some chatting about something that’s been on my mind, and see what you all think too. This is a post that I put up when I’m ready to get some opinions. I’ll shoot my mouth off about what I think, and then leave the floor open for you! Feel free to talk it out, just remember to be kind. This time the topic is… From Book to Movie Love them or hate them, this is the new big thing at the box office. As a reader, I’m actually all for this trend! I…
