Hi friends! I was thinking over blog posts to do* and realized: a lot of people don’t read middle-grade. So I’m here to convince you to do just that! *even though I have like 2 reviews to write whoops 1: Romance ain’t always it chief! IT’S OKAY IF YOU READ ROMANCE. But far too often (in YA especially) romance overshadows all of the beautiful family/sibling/friendships we all want to see! Some recs with little-to-no romance: 2: Crazy Worlds! Often, middle-grade embraces the whimsy and magic of the worlds they’re set in, rather than being confined to a set of rules … Continue reading 5 Reasons You NEED To Read Middle-Grade!

No joke. We live in an age where social media makes us all think that we need to do something ALL THE TIME. Spare minute? Pull out the phone. It’s actually kind of hilarious, because when I read about old times and they easily wait like an hour and I’m just … Continue reading A Monday Discussion | Does Reading Help With Short Attention Spans?

Hi friends! Today’s post is going to be short and sweet but I really wanted to throw out a question that’s been pressing on my mind recently: why don’t we reread books as often as we want to? 3 Reasons Why: First of all, I just realized that if add a 1 before the 3 it equals 13 reasons why. This is why math and I don’t get along. Because TBR. I don’t know about you guys but the voice at the back of my mind constantly saying “you could be slimming down that pile of yours” is really convincing and … Continue reading A Monday Discussion |Why Are We So Scared To Reread Books???
