It took me some time to get through this and finally get around to reviewing it, not because it’s a slog to get through (far from it), but rather just due to my hectic schedule. I would like to summarize my overall thoughts about this collection with the statement that it is a reader friendlyContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads Poetry: Past Life Invisible by Daniel Haskin”

Meagan Reads SciFi: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
I’ve been participating in the MadLibs Reading Challenge 2018, and I chose this book as one of the “noun” categories. Be warned that spoilers are coming ahead, so if you plan on reading the book, do not pass this line! Annihilation is a relatively short read, but don’t let it’s small size fool you. ThereContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads SciFi: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer”
Meagan Reads YA Fiction: Wrecked by Maria Padian
This is a post I made for my cousin’s blog. Click the link below to see the full review. This one is a bit of a backlist, as it was published in 2016. However, its contents and story are still relevant, as they have always been, and as I fear they may always be. IContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads YA Fiction: Wrecked by Maria Padian”

Why It’s Important to Diversify Your Reading
A never-ending stack of books (Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay) I’ve spent the last two and a half years reading for a book challenge my best friend and I decided to take on. She’s a much faster reader than I am and finished in about a year. It was the first time I’d ever doneContinueContinue reading “Why It’s Important to Diversify Your Reading”
Growing Up With Anne of Green Gables
It took me a little over two years, but I finally finished the 26 book reading challenge! I ended the two-year endeavor with the category “a book you love, read it again,” with Anne of Green Gables. I read this book so many times between 4th and 6th grade that I lost count of howContinueContinue reading “Growing Up With Anne of Green Gables”
Meagan Reads YA Fantasy: Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova
I finished reading the first in the Brooklyn Brujas series, Labyrinth Lost, a few days ago. I decided to sit on my experience for a bit before writing about it. I want to talk about how I discovered the book in the first place. Thanks to various Goodreads book giveaways, the novel was put onContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads YA Fantasy: Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova”
Meagan Reads Sci-Fi: The Martian by Andy Weir
The Martian by Andy Weir (Image from Goodreads) I feel like it’s been a while since I picked up a book that made me really excited and breeze through it so fast, even with a full-time job and part-time grad school. Andy Weir’s The Martian did that for me. I read it as my 24thContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads Sci-Fi: The Martian by Andy Weir”
How a Reader Became a Comic Book Fan: The Comic Book Kid
Comic book onomatopoeia speech bubble (Image by Annalise Batista from Pixabay) I was not, in fact, a comic book kid. They just weren’t something on my radar as a child reader. I had a subscription to a Barbie book club. I frequented the library, and eventually as I got older, Borders Bookstore. But comics wereContinueContinue reading “How a Reader Became a Comic Book Fan: The Comic Book Kid”
