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 Marvel Avengers Book Tag
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I am a huge Marvel fan. I watched all the movies during quarantine (minus two of them which I still need to see and one that I didn’t watch because people say it’s bad) and have since become obsessed with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. So, when I found this tag, of course I wanted to do it! I don’t remember who I found it from and I haven’t been able to find the creator, but credit to whomever it is. Let’s get into it! *All GIFs link back to their sources. Iron Man: a book that made you laugh out loud All’s…

My Favorite Opening Lines in Books
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I am sharing some of my favorite opening lines from books I’ve read. Well, more like opening paragraphs. Most of the books I’m listing have the first two or so paragraphs. Still, they have the same role. First lines (and paragraphs) are one of the most important parts of writing a book. They’re the first things readers see and can influence a person’s interest. There are a lot of first lines that I’ve read but these stick out more than the rest. They’re very memorable. The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan Look, I didn’t want…

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…

My Favorite Reads of 2021
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I am talking about my favorite books that I read in 2021. Last year, I read a total of 53 books, which was nowhere near my goal, but I’m still okay with the amount I read. For this post, I have my top ten favorite reads. And to make it harder on myself, I ranked them; we’ll be going in reverse order, starting with number ten! #10: Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales “I was with them and they were with me and we were with each other. A community within a community within a community. No questions asked. No proof…

Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Can you believe it’s already mid-2021?! Cause I can’t. I swear 2021 only started a little while ago. I’ve seen a few variations of this tag and I couldn’t possibly answer all the prompts, so I did the ones that I wanted to talk about. General Books read: 28Reading goal: 28/75Average rating: 4.2Most read genre: Contemporary I am pretty behind on my reading goal, as you can see. I’ve never tracked my reading before, but now that I am, it’s actually a lot of fun. Making spreadsheets is very satisfying and it suits my liking of perfection. I’m kind of surprised that…

The 3 Bookish Things Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I haven’t posted in a few days because I’ve been pretty busy with this geometry class I’m taking. I’ve learned that geometry is a lot of memorization. There’s so much stuff you have to remember. But enough talk about math. As you can see from the title of this post, today I have another tag. Thank you to Riddhi @ Whispering Stories for tagging me! 3 Read Once and Loved Authors Brigid Kemmerer – A Curse So Dark and Lonely was an amazing retelling of Beauty and the Beast and her writing is so good.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Spring 2021 TBR
Hello, everyone! I’m you’re doing well. It’s been about a month since I’ve done a Top Ten Tuesday, so I thought I’d do one today. You Have a Match by Emma Lord I’ve been seeing this book mentioned on a lot of people’s blogs, and the comments have been positive, so I thought I’d give it a try as well. The summary sounds really interesting. “A new love, a secret sister, and a summer she’ll never forget. When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it’s mainly to give her friend and secret love interest, Leo, a nudge. After all, she knows who she is already: Avid photographer. Injury-prone tree…

Top Ten Tuesday: Purple, Yellow, and Green Book Covers
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re doing well. Today, I’ll be doing another TTT. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl where there is a topic and you make a list that best fits it. Today’s topic is Purple, Yellow and/or Green Book Covers (in honor of Mardi Gras). So I couldn’t find book covers that had all the colors together, so I decided to do a few book covers each with the primary color being one of the ones for our theme today. Muse of Nightmares (Strange the Dreamer #2) by Laini TaylorThe Crown (The Selection #5) by Kiera CassStarry River of…
