Books everyone but me has read

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today I am talking about some books that it seems everyone has read that I have yet to. Throughout school, I always had English teachers who were ~hip~ and ~cool~ and wanted to ensure the youth actually read the assigned books. This meant we read a lot of fun popular books, which …

Books in every genre with good female representation + why it’s important

So here’s the thing: whenever I’m reading a book (or watching TV or a movie or whatever) and there is a female character, I automatically cringe and wait. I prepare myself for the shitty female character we’re about to get. Either she’s a super annoying airhead or she’s ~not like other girls~. And if we …

Deciding the fate of overused tropes in fantasy

I love a good fantasy novel. I don't read it a ton, but when I do, I generally enjoy it. But there are some tropes in fantasy that are overused. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Tropes are tropes for a reason: they make a plot interesting. But I thought it'd be fun to go …

#TBT: books I loved in high school

Today I thought I'd do a bit of a throwback post. I'm going to talk about some of the books that I loved in high school. I feel like I don't talk about a lot of these books as much as they deserve, and wanted to gush about some of my old favourites. The Hunger …

Discussion: books I loved but would hesitate to recommend

I love books (obviously) and I love recommending books (also obviously). But, there are some books that I would hesitate to recommend. I understand that not everyone has the same taste as me, and that not everyone wants to read heavy things. Reading is so subjective, and sometimes my favourites won't be everyone's favourites. So …

Books that made me weirdly emotional

As the title suggests, this post is going to be about books that made me weirdly emotional. I'm an emotional person in general, and it honestly doesn't take much for me to get emotional when reading. But these books are going to be books where the emotion was weird or really specific. Not just "this …

Books I would’ve enjoyed more if I was younger

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today I'm doing another mini-discussion, today on books I would've enjoyed more if I was younger when I read them.
