My Favorite Book-to-Film Adaptations (And Books I Would Love to See Adapted)
There are a lot of book-to-film adaptations out there in the film industry. A lot. And some of them are. . . well, to put it nicely, not the best. In a Let’s Talk Bookish post I did a little while ago on book-to-film adaptations, I listed some of the ones I enjoyed, and then realized that there are a lot more than I thought. So, I am telling you all my favorites! Most of the list will be movies but there are some TV shows sprinkled in there. So, let’s get started! Something to note: I’ve seen a lot more book-to-film adaptations that I loved than are on this…

The Benefits of Reading | Why I Love to Read and What I Learn From It
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today’s post was inspired by another post I wrote, an LTB post about book addicts vs. book lovers.

Hear me out. I feel like one of the reasons a lot of people–especially teenagers–don’t like to read…

The Chapters and Melodies Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I didn’t mean to disappear for a week, but my schedule has been very busy. Ever since I started that youth mentoring program, I’ve had something happening after school every day, causing me to push off doing homework until the evening and not be able to work on my posts.

I’ve been doing quite a few tags recently, which might not be the most exciting thing to read, but I had a lot of fun doing this one. Today we’re combing two of my favorite things: reading and music!…

My Favorite Quotes From Books | aka things characters said that pull at my heartstrings
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Sorry for not posting yesterday, none of my posts were close to being done because school got in the way of everything. But then I got a great idea for a different post and immediately started working on it. I was talking to a family friend the other day and she was looking for quotes on happiness. I will admit, the majority of quotes I note down aren’t exactly happy. They’re either very sad or very deep and emotional, often centering around a theme of the book. That conversation gave me the idea for this post! I will be listing some of…
