Language learning books (Image by Oli Lynch from Pixabay) It’s been three years now since I went on my trip to Spain and brought home two books translated from English to Spanish.

A shelf full of classic books (Image by Gerhard Gellinger from Pixabay) For the longest time I could not put my finger on what about classics made me love them so much. As far back as I can remember, I’ve been a fan of the classics, starting with stories like Anne of Green Gables andContinueContinue reading “Why Readers Love Classic Novels”
Why It’s OK to Give up on a Book: The DNF Doubt
Image by ecassells from Pixabay For those who don’t know, DNF stands for did not finish. I had to look it up when I first came across it because I’m at that awkward age where I’m a millennial, but I don’t know all the lingo the kids are using these days.

Audio Books! Can I Get An Amen?
Image by Karolina Grabowska from Pixabay I started listening to audio books a little over a year ago, hesitant to take on the endeavor because I thought, “I can’t possibly pay attention to a story if I’m listening to it.” Of course, that logic is flawed because that’s how I used to take in storiesContinueContinue reading “Audio Books!

Finding the Right Romance Novel: Tales From a Reluctant Romantic
Image by Dimitris Vetsikas from Pixabay I’ve read Pride & Prejudice and was smitten. All Cassandra Clare books? Fell like a sucker. I watch The Vampire Diaries and am a hardcore Delena shipper. I openly admit that watching A Walk to Remember still makes me ugly sob. So what is it about the romance genreContinueContinue reading “Finding the Right Romance Novel: Tales From a Reluctant Romantic”

One Book At A Time
I am drowning in a sea of things to read. My double-stacked book shelves taunt me with their tomes. My Goodreads TBR list laughs at my folly. My kindle glares at me as I time and time again pass it over for a physical text. When did it get so hard to read? As aContinueContinue reading “One Book At A Time”
