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 [...]
Our favorites for today (May 24) is Diverse Books. I'm taking this to mean "diverse" in the all-inclusive sense. Okay that came out as a weird sentence. What I mean is, main characters who are persons of color (NOT just side characters), books which include the LGBTQ spectrum, and ownvoices stories. There will be multiple [...]
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. [...]
There are some generally accepted Golden Rules for authors (which, okay, change from century to century, genre to genre, and are not so much rules as guidelines?) One of them is DEATH to All Adverbs, which I am personally fighting against because I love me a good adverb. Another is Conflict is King. Too bad [...]
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 [...]
It's the first Wednesday of the month, which means it's time for our writing insecurities to pop their little heads out, just in time to get whacked back down into the depths of our subconscious by multiple author-hammers. GET BACK IN YOUR PLACE, INSECURITIES! Ahem. Anyway. The optional question for May 1: What was an [...]
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 [...]
