Author Spotlight: Tamora Pierce
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I’m starting a new kind of post today: an author spotlight! I got this idea from Jordyn @ Birdie’s Book Nook who started doing this a little while ago. I wanted to promote some underrepresented authors and I thought this was a great way to do it. Our first author is Tamora Pierce! I read a lot of her books when I was younger and always enjoyed the strong, female protagonists she created. In this post, I’ll be talking about the books by her that I’ve read and why I enjoyed them! Tamora Pierce Genres: YA fantasyBooks Read: 10, but she’s written…

My Favorite Book-to-Film Adaptations (And Books I Would Love to See Adapted)
There are a lot of book-to-film adaptations out there in the film industry. A lot. And some of them are. . . well, to put it nicely, not the best. In a Let’s Talk Bookish post I did a little while ago on book-to-film adaptations, I listed some of the ones I enjoyed, and then realized that there are a lot more than I thought. So, I am telling you all my favorites! Most of the list will be movies but there are some TV shows sprinkled in there. So, let’s get started! Something to note: I’ve seen a lot more book-to-film adaptations that I loved than are on this…

The 3 Bookish Things Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I haven’t posted in a few days because I’ve been pretty busy with this geometry class I’m taking. I’ve learned that geometry is a lot of memorization. There’s so much stuff you have to remember. But enough talk about math. As you can see from the title of this post, today I have another tag. Thank you to Riddhi @ Whispering Stories for tagging me! 3 Read Once and Loved Authors Brigid Kemmerer – A Curse So Dark and Lonely was an amazing retelling of Beauty and the Beast and her writing is so good. Laini Taylor – I recently finished Strange…

The (Very Late) Book Blog Newbie Tag
Hello, everyone! I probably should’ve done this as my first tag, but my organization of posts is not that great. I’ve been blogging for a little over three months, so this is very late, but I still thought I should do it. I’ve seen a variety of people do this, and it looks like a lot of fun. So, without further ado, the questions. Why did you want to start a book blog? I started thinking about beginning a book blog sometime last year. On the NaNoWriMo YWP, there was a thread where you could share your blogs. I was looking at it and clicked through some other people’s blogs.…

Top Ten Tuesday: Places in Books I’d Love to Live
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re doing well. I’m really excited about today’s topic; I always fantasize about living in fictional worlds and now I get to talk about them! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl where there is a topic and you make a list that best fits it. Today’s topic is Places in Books I’d Love to Live. Hogwarts ~ Harry Potter Who wouldn’t want to live at Hogwarts? It would be amazing! And really dangerous. Just imagine: the common rooms, the quidditch pitch, the Great Hall, Hogsmeade. Just everything about the Wizarding World universe would be incredible to live…

Get to Know Ya Book Tag
Hey, everyone! Today I’m doing something a little different and I’m doing my first tag. I’ve been blogging for about three and a half months now, but you still don’t know much about me and I thought this was a fun way to get to know me a little bit better: through books! I saw Katie @ Whispering Pages do this and it looks really fun. Favorite Book of All Time I’m always terrible at answering this question. I have to choose ONE? I’m never able to choose one, so I’m going to do a few of my all-time favorite books. Wonder ~ This book is such a heart-warming story…

International Women’s Day ~ Strong Female Characters in YA Literature
Hello, everyone! I know that International Women’s Day was two days ago, so I’m late for this, but I saw Ritz @ Living, Loving and Reading do a post like this and I thought I would do my own version. So today, I have a list of strong female characters in YA literature. Alanna of Trebond ~ The Song of the Lioness Alanna is such a great character! She’s strong and she isn’t afraid to stand up for what she believes in. She’s ambitious and doesn’t let people get in the way of what she wants to accomplish. “Alan, you seem to think we won’t like you unless you do…
