Book Topics – Unwrapping Words

Back to School

I know term has been ‘in session’ for a while, but I thought as it is September and, for many, the start of the academic year, it would be fun to dive into the way different books use school settings, and why I think schools make for a great location in books, either as aContinueContinue reading “Back to School”

8 Books for 8 Decades

Here’s a fun fact: my dad turns 70 tomorrow. I think that’s pretty awesome, and although he’s not a big reader himself, he has always hugely supported me in my own reading and writing, and always been there to encourage me when I needed it. He’s a hell of a storyteller, too, and definitely helpedContinueContinue reading “8 Books for 8 Decades”

Recommended Biographies

I thought I’d do something just a little different today and highlight a few biographies I’ve really enjoyed, and would recommend to others! I’ve tried for ones that cover a wide range, but with my interests there might be some slight crossover in the themes. But if you’re looking for non-fiction and are interested inContinueContinue reading “Recommended Biographies”

Top Ten Tuesday: New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2023

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. I really enjoyed this theme last year, and I’m excitedContinueContinue reading “Top Ten Tuesday: New-to-Me Authors I Discovered in 2023”

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Book Tag

I thought it was time to do another book tag, and this one seemed fun! I spotted this over at Books are 42, a fantastic blog. As usual, I won’t tag anyone, but feel free to do this one if you like. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 5Books You Love Garth Marenghi’s TerrorTome by GarthContinueContinue reading “5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Book Tag”

Topic: Books I’d Love to See Adapted – Horror Edition!

Romance Edition / Fantasy Edition I did two of these posts last year and really enjoyed doing them, but I never got around to doing a Horror version! I read a lot of Horror, largely thanks to reviewing over at Divination Hollow, and it’s probably one of my most read genres (along with Fantasy andContinueContinue reading “Topic: Books I’d Love to See Adapted – Horror Edition!”

Topic: 5 Star Anthologies

I love anthologies. They’re a great way of exploring a particular genre and theme, as well as discovering new authors or just reading a little more from favourite authors. I’m always on the look out for some good anthologies, but today I thought I’d highlight a few of my favourites from recent years. Black RainbowContinueContinue reading “Topic: 5 Star Anthologies”
