February 9, 2018 /

I’m not a frequenter of the romance aisle, but there’s no better time to start than on Valentine’s Day. Whether you’ve got a significant other this year or not, reading a classic romance novel is sure to get you in the loving mood. I recommend stocking up on some pink and red cupcakes, sugar cookies, and a box of chocolates before your dive into your new read — you’re sure to need them when the tears start flowing. I’ve got five recommendations for you to add to your list. Let’s get started! Image from nicholassparks.com 1. “The Last Song” by Nicholas Sparks This was the first book I ever read…

5 Influential Female Authors to Read Today

January 23, 2018 /

This past weekend women around the world protested in major cities speaking out against injustices against women in the 2018 Women’s March (an event that began last year as a way to speak out against inequality, sexism, assault, and more). This movement has continued to grow in the last year with fuel being added to the fire every day. From the #metoo movement to an executive order rolling back a mandate that requires companies to cover birth control in their health care plans, it’s more important than ever that women (and men) speak out about their rights and equality. In honor of this movement, I’m here to share some of…

Top 5 Books to Read on Halloween

October 31, 2017 /

Happy Halloween! I have to admit, I’m not a huge fan of the spooky holiday (I blame my introvert side), but I definitely love getting in the spirit of the season with a good book (as any good bibliophile should). Here are five recommendations of books to read this Halloween to get you feeling in the ghosty, ghouly mood . Photo from Books About Books (booksaboutbooksblog.com) “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson I am actually currently reading this short story, and I have to say I am highly impressed with it (as one should be with Robert Louis Stevenson). I’ve owned the book…

Top 10 Tuesday: Kid Characters I Want to Meet as Adults

May 3, 2016 /

Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! This week’s post is all about the childhood characters I would love to meet as adults. Let’s jump right into it! 1. Fern from Charlotte’s Web I still remember curling up in old bedroom reading Charlotte’s Web with my mom as a wee kindergarten student. It was one of the first real books I remember reading and the movie was actually the reason I was a vegetarian for two years when I was younger. I would love to…

Top 5 Wednesday: Best Moms

April 27, 2016 /

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so why not talk about some of the best maternal figures in literatures history. 1. Molly Weasley from Harry Potter She’s undoubtedly the best mother figure and handles 7 children, as well as Harry, with ease. She’s got this mothering thing down. I wouldn’t mind a trip to the Burrow myself. 2. Mindy from Eleanor and Park She’s real, and I think that’s my favorite thing about her. She makes mistakes and apologizes for them and understands that she’s still learning. She treats Park and Eleanor well and the love between her and her husband is inspiring. 3. Natalie Prior from Divergent Natalie is one of…

Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! This week I’m making a syllabus for college students. Here’s a list of books you should keep on your shelf (and read) to prepare for (or escape) the real world. 1. 1984 by George Orwell I don’t have anything to say except this is a great book and everyone should read it. 2. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger I’ve been told this is a book you should read at multiple stages in life. Most…
