  • V Day Is Coming! my romance reading goals

    I have decided – at the last minute possible – to read romance books in the lead up to Valentines day! I probably should have been a little more on top of my life, but honestly I always forget that V Day is a thing… so yeah, here we are. I will hopefully be able…

  • The Bachelor Meets Hunger Games…?

    The Bachelor Meets Hunger Games…?

    I decided to jump (very late – years late in fact) on the band wagon and read The Selection trilogy. So, how did I find it and what were the good, and bad’s for the series? Here are my thoughts on each book in the original trilogy (I have yet to read the other few…

  • Small House vs Bigger – Which Is Better?

    Small House vs Bigger – Which Is Better?

    I’m so used to moving – and mostly not by choice – that I have a WEALTH of information to compare small and larger houses…. It is always a bit of a shock for people to find out that I have been a casual mover since I was born. My family and I have moved…

    Teenage Oceans 11? | Heist Society Reviews

    A group of teenagers – some billionaires, and the others part of a family of long time thieves and con artists… what could go wrong? Okay, a lot could go wrong. Most particularly, going to prison or being killed – two of the most common consequences of living as a criminal. But, somehow Ally Carter…

  • Where The Heck Are The Newspapers??

    Where The Heck Are The Newspapers??

    Okay, so recently I did an experiment to see if I would get smarter after reading a newspaper every day for a week (spoiler alert… the answer was no). BUT, in order to actually read a physical newspaper it was a lot more difficult than I imagined to get hold of an actual, real life…

  • Reviewing All of Bethany Turner’s Books!

    Reviewing All of Bethany Turner’s Books!

    Okay, so it’s no secret if you’ve been watching my videos on Booktube, but Bethany Turner has become one of my fav authors over the last year or so. I found one of her books and LOVED her writing, characters and stories she comes up with. While there are only about 5 books that she…

  • Father Of The Bride | Book Vs Movie

    Father Of The Bride | Book Vs Movie

    It is kind of surprising HOW MANY movies are actually based on novels. I had no clue that Father of the Bride was based on a book that was released in 1949! I will admit, I have only seen the Steve Martin version of the film, though the earlier make would be fun to watch…

  • Reading a “Scandal Sheet” To Get Smarter | Day 5

    Reading a “Scandal Sheet” To Get Smarter | Day 5

    Five days is a work week… so that counts as a week, right? Well at any rate, this is the FINAL day of my reading a physical newspaper every day to see if it makes me smarter, or that it ads value to my life. Here’s the final thoughts and results! So it was day…

  • Reading “Fish Wrap” To Get Smarter | Day 4

    Reading “Fish Wrap” To Get Smarter | Day 4

    Alrighty, so it’s officially Day 4 of reading a physical newspaper (did you know they used to call them “fish wraps” so… yeah). We are back again reading The Australian newspaper. If you didn’t catch yesterday’s post, I have spaced out just the one paper for the last few days of this test. I noticed…
