For as long as I’ve been a part of the bookish community (which is over 7,5 years now – wow), the first thing I do after finishing a book is go on Goodreads and give it a star rating. It doesn’t feel as if I’ve truly finished a book until I’ve entered my rating and […]

It’s Valentine’s Day! A day that’s all about love and romance, but also kind of about capitalism and consumerism *record scratch* Yep, I’m one of those people; I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day for several reasons. When I was single, it just made me feel crappy and lonely, which is how this day […]

Christmas is fast approaching and the world is in shambles, so this seems like the perfect time to talk about feel-good stories. I know I’ve definitely been appreciating them a little more this year, both in book form and on film and TV. I’ve always been a fan of feel-good novels, and I’ve never liked […]

I rarely […]

I was planning on writing a book review today. I haven’t written one in ages and in between all of those recipes I’ve posted recently, I figured it was high time for another review. So, I looked through the books on my “Read” shelf on Goodreads to find the perfect book to write a review […]

One of the many things I love about being a part of the online reading community is how you get a peek into other people’s reading lives. Stripped down to its bare bones, reading is a pretty solitary hobby; you get yourself a book, you sit down (or lie down, or stand – whatever floats […]

Before I started blogging I had never even thought about setting myself goals when it came to reading. I read what I wanted when I wanted to read it (apart from the required reading for my university courses). But then I discovered book blogging and Goodreads, and, a little later, the Goodreads reading challenge and […]

I’ve had the idea for this post for a while now, after talking about it with my friend Emmie from Another Night of Reading, but I’ve been kind of scared to actually write and, more importantly, post it, because it’s kind of a sensitive subject. Or, at least, it can be for some people, because […]
