  • Discussion | Book Genre Snobbery

    I am guilty, my friends, of book genre snobbery. I like to think I’m an open minded reader, but there are still underlying prejudices that have been instilled into me through years of secondary, further, and higher education. Literature with a capital L is one thing, commercial fiction enjoyed by the masses is another. Or…

    Bout of Books 16 | Stating My Intentions

    It’s Bout of Books time again! The last time I participated was in Bout of Books 11 – and I didn’t realise so many rounds of the readathon had happened since then. Life, it turns out, really does get in the way.  Bout of Books was my first concerted effort to participate in a readathon so…

    Tag | The Harry Potter Tag

    Today I bring you what has become a slightly rarity on my blog as of late – tags! Since this one is a Harry Potter themed tag designed around the functions of the spells, however, I couldn’t resist when the ever-lovely Ariana from The Quirky Book Nerd nominated me to do this. This tag and all of the…

  • AuthorAThon Readathon TBR

    Since the last mini read-a-thon I took place in (#TBRTakedown for those interested) worked out quite well for me due to my low expectations for myself, I’ve decided to continue in that vein by participating in a week-long readathon this upcoming week. This time it’s AuthorAThon. AuthorAThon is a new readathon created by Joana which runs…
