Reading a “Blab Sheet” To Get Smarter | Day 3
Okay, things are changing up a little! After braving the rain to get the next newspaper (and without a bag mind you, I was fortunate enough to hide it under my top so it didn’t get soaked though) I have reached a conclusion… but more on that later. This time, my newspaper of choice was…

Reading a “Rag” To Get Smarter?? | Day 2
Okay, it is DAY 2 of reading a physical newspaper to see if it can make me smarter and a little more educated. After the challenge yesterday of finding a place where you can find an array of paper choices, I settled to run up to Wooly’s and grabbed a different one than yesterday. Today’s…

Reading a PHYSICAL Newspaper for a Week | Day 1
Okay, so I decided to run an experiment. With the digital age of news, the actual physical copies of newspapers have become less popular. I don’t actually read news most of the time (at all) because it tends to mostly focus on the horrible things in life, and not much of the beauty we can…

These Books Were Trash… ok that might be a bit harsh
A little harsh of a title, but I am talking about books that I have recently DNF’d. If you don’t know what that means, it’s just “Did Not Finish” – so the books that didn’t make the cut, couldn’t make it to the end;=, wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on.. etc Books and…

Captain America: Winter Soldier | MARVEL Book Vs Movie
Okay, so I might be late on the bandwagon, but why did nobody tell me that Marvel did a series of books based on the movies!? I recently decided to read the Captain America: Winter Solider book as part of a “basic theme” reading challenge (the theme being a season of the year). And what…

I read 17,000+ pages | 2022 Reading Stats
Okay, so it might be the end of the first week in January, BUT I decided to share what the stats of my reading last year (2022) were! It was really the first year that I was properly recording and paying attention to my reading seriously, so here we go: Overall a basic book count…

How Did Storygraph Do? A Review of the Books it picked!
Not too long ago, I posted a video on Booktube about the book reviewing site/app Storygraph, and the books that I read from the suggested books that come up randomly each time you log in. The picks were varied, and I managed to get through them all, but how did they do? Were they all…

Spotify thinks the most IMPATIENT generation is good at waiting….. *eye roll*
I heard one of those stunningly read ads on Spotify (just a little fellow voice over appreciation for those that read on air) recently, as I don’t have the paid ad-free version. Normally, I tune them out like I would any advertisement – something my Dad often muted when they came in the ad breaks…
