I'm primarily a genre reader, mostly fantasy and romance, though I am branching into sci-fi, and I love a graphic novel.

  • Sneaking in Some Reading Time

    When do people get their reading done? I'm in a busy phase of life, so I listen to a lot of audiobooks while doing chores. But I'm finding it hard to find time to sit down with a paper book. Throw out your best tricks!

  • Audiobooks mixing the books with reality

    I both read and listen to books, and because I do other things while listening, I find that my memories of audiobooks are mixed with my memories of what I'd done while listening to them.

    Sometimes the bookish memories will be "attached" to my real ones and sometimes the other way around, yet they both feel like full memories.

    I'd love to know if I'm the only one or if others also feel this mixing

  • Reading What You Own: ramblings on consumerism

    My current goal for myself is to limit buying and checking out books from the library to read what I actually own on my shelf. I've already broken both of my "rules," went to a new bookstore and wanted to support as they were closing, and then read the first book in a trilogy and then immediately checked out the next two from the library. I think this is to say, why is it so hard for me to stick with what I have!! Why am I so obsessed with wanting more? Of course, buying things always contributes to consumerism, but why am I frustrated with the library? I still feel like they're constantly pushing new books? And I'm never content with just what I have in front of me. IDK if anyone understands what I'm saying, but TLDR I'm just annoyed with the publishing industry and my own vices of succumbing to capitalism.
