I was intrigued by the Goodreads 100 New Horror Recommendations for (Nearly) Every Kind of Reader list, and after completing the Most Popular Horror list earlier in the year, it felt like a good time to visit this one and see what I’ve read and what intrigues me. As this list is split into categories/subgenres/trends,ContinueContinue reading “Blogtober Day 10: 100 New Horror Recommendations Part Two”

Book Review: Shakespeare by Bill Bryson
Format: HardbackPublished: January 1st, 2007Age: Adult Genre: Nonfiction – Historical – Biography Rating: 5/5 Stars I love William Shakespeare.

Blogtober Day 8: Top Ten Tuesday – Horror
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. There was actually a different prompt for today (about bookishContinueContinue reading “Blogtober Day 8: Top Ten Tuesday – Horror”
Blogtober Day 6: Gothic
In previous years, I’ve taken Blogtober as an opportunity to highlight some books in horror subgenres (or horror related genres) that I’ve really liked. I had a look, and couldn’t find if I’ve done Gothic – it’s possible I have, but it seemed like a good chance to highlight some of my 5 star gothicContinueContinue reading “Blogtober Day 6: Gothic”
Book Review: Rescued by the Mountain Man by Reagan Phillips
Format: ebookPublished: September 7th, 2023Age: Adult Genre: Romance – ContemporarySeries: Lovers of Little Bend (1) Rating: 5/5 Stars At only 37 pages, this very much falls into the ‘short and sweet’ category.

Blogtober Day 2: 2024 Reading Challenges Update #9
I feel like September was a good reading month for me, in a way August didn’t seem to be. What did help though was picking up a few non-challenge, short books, which gave me a nice break from the challenges without being too long of one. Now we’re getting into October, I’m hoping to finishContinueContinue reading “Blogtober Day 2: 2024 Reading Challenges Update #9”
