Let me surprise absolutely no one by informing you all I was a HUGE NERD in high school. I grew up in a very small town and went to a very small school. My graduating class (2005! I'M SO OLD) had 22 people, most of whom I had known since preschool. It was like being [...]
Friday favorites is a bookworm celebration created and hosted by somethingofthebook.com. On Fridays, we make lists about books! Come join. June 7 Favorites: Urban Fantasy books Before joining #bookstagram and getting flooded with fabulous recommendations from fellow readers, I actually thought I didn't like urban fantasy. AHAHAHAHA poor smol me. Actually, what I didn't like was missing out on [...]
May 31 Favorites is: Classic Books If I'm being honest, the main type of Classics that I like are children's books. Maybe I'm a child at heart (aka super childish... but I can't be the only 32 year old who thinks pillow forts, a Disney movie, and hot chocolate are the epitome of a good Friday [...]
May 17 favorites: Things about being a reader Today we're doing a listicle, because listicles are so fun. And gifs are even better. Combining the two? The Very Best, even though it makes a silly word (gificle? gifsticle? giflist? Whatever it's fantastic and I'm going with it). 1. I have a whole house FILLED WITH BOOKS. [...]
May 10: Favorite Books that were recommended to you Where would I be without #bookstagram and all of the wonderful, plentiful recommendations I find there? Well, for a start, I'd be in a house with about 150 less books. Also, not buried under the weight of a TBR equivalent to most small libraries. I add about [...]
The favorites for April 26: Favorite Movie or TV adaptations As we all know, one of the Ten Bookworm Commandments is: Thou shalt never be satisfied with a movie adaptation because THE BOOK IS ALWAYS BETTER. Obviously, Kibby just wants to fling that match and watch the bookworm world burn. While standing there looking cool, backlit [...]
Who was your inspiration for Colton Johnson in "Step Into Love?" My youngest sister was partly the inspiration for Colton. She deals with a lot of similar issues in her daily life, although she's never been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This might be because she absolutely loathes going to the doctor's office and getting her [...]
April 19 Favorites: Fictional Worlds For this week's post I wanted to mix it up a little. So I'm making a half-and-half list. Five bookish worlds I would move to tomorrow sign me up, I'm bringing the family, see you later reality! Then five bookish worlds where I'd last long enough for one good Hollywood scream, and yet, I [...]
April 12 Favorites is: Magic Systems Wands & Wandlore, Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling I'll go ahead and lead off with my very favorite magic system, which is wands. Current diversity criticism aside, we can't deny that JK Rowling can worldbuild with the BEST of them. Her lore about wands is one of the better [...]
What were you like as a child? Okay, first, this is an awfully personal question to lead off an interview with and I'm already questioning your motives. I'm told as I child I was energetic and active, almost to the point of being annoying. I would walk up to perfect strangers, to introduce myself as [...]
