  • AI Generated Reading Challenge Ideas

    Hello and happy Sunday. Before I start this post, I want to give out two disclaimers, okay? Okay. Now, in case you want AI to generate reading challenges for you, here’s the prompt I used: You have a book blog and are looking for creative incentives to tackle your list of books to read. Generate…

  • My Thoughts on No Place Like Oz

    Hello and happy Saturday. How have you been? Do you also feel like March went by even faster than February did? I’m still trying to decide whether that was a good or a bad thing. Every once in a while I get back into a series I started years ago and then abandoned for no…

  • “Reading Passport” Challenge Update

    Hello and happy Sunday. I just realized that since I first introduced the “Reading Passport” Challenge there might be new readers who don’t know what this is. You might not even know who I am, so let me tell you. I’m a school teacher, and an initiative promoted by the library team is this passport…

  • My 2025 TBR List According to My Reading Challenges

    Hello and happy Saturday. I just came home from work and I have another class to teach in a little bit, which means that at 4pm I’ll probably crash. Before that, though, I wanted to write this fun post, which is by no means a reference for my reading, but it can give me an…

  • DNF: Tis the Damn Season

    Hello and happy Sunday. I’ve gotten pretty used to DNFing books early on, and I mean within the first chapter. This is what happened with Tis the Damn Season by Kimi Freeman. I honestly can’t tell you what it was about besides it clearly being a contemporary romance novel. The female main character was insufferable…

  • My Thoughts on Finding Mr. Brightside

    Hello and happy Saturday. Also, happy first day of March. I’m so glad February passed by as quickly as it did because I’d been looking forward to yesterday and it turned out to be sort of a disappointment. Can you guess what else was a disappointment? You’re right! Finding Mr. Brightside by Jay Clark was…

  • My Thoughts on Nothing Special

    Hello and happy Sunday. How have you been? I feel like this is the first weekend in a while that really feels like a weekend. I don’t really know why -it just does. I guess I’m relieved to be done with the beginning of the year chaos. I’m also glad to go back to listening…

  • My Thoughts on Look Both Ways

    Hello and happy Saturday. I woke up early-ish, listened to my audiobook, did some yoga and have been very productive while sipping water from a giant bottle (no, not a Stanley). Now, of course, I’ll share my thoughts on Look Both Ways by Jason Reynolds, which I read a few weeks ago while I was…

  • My Thoughts on Good Kings Bad Kings

    Hello and happy Sunday. How are you today? Are you ready for the week ahead? I feel like I didn’t get a proper weekend since I had to work yesterday, but oh well, such is life. I’m still going over books I read in December, and today I want to tell you about Good Kings…

  • My Thoughts on Mayhem in Circulation

    Hello and happy Saturday. I had to work today, so excuse me if I’m not very coherent after having spoken to 23 families about, well, their children. In December I took advantage of my Everand free trial and listened to the audiobook of Mayhem in Circulation by Leah Dobrinska. I’d originally gotten this book via…
