I found this tag on A Bookish Bi! 1. How many books do you usually read at once? Um… a lot. If I’m not in the mood for one, I read something else. I know I’m a fast reader, but I also think this habit helps me read as many books as I do. There’s…… Continue reading Currently Reading Book Tag
I found this tag on Bookstooge’s Reviews on the Road a couple months ago and thought it would be appropriate for the new year! How do you keep track of your TBR pile? It’s mostly on Goodreads… I’ve gotten it almost all together over there, and any time I notice a book I want to…… Continue reading TBR Tag
It’s time for my most favorite post, the end-of-year book survey hosted by Perpetual Page-Turner! Not a lot of people read these all the way through, but I still love doing them. Because survey. And the questions always help me reflect on the books I’ve read in a substantive way. I’m a forgetful little scamp…… Continue reading 2017 End of Year Book Survey
It’s Banned Books Week, and I forgot! Fortunately Eclectic Alli reminded me with her Banned Book Bloggers of the Last Minute linkup. Everyone is welcome! Instead of just doing a review this year or even several reviews, I thought what we’d do is take a look at the top ten most-challenged books of last year…… Continue reading Banned Books Week 2017
I was gonna do a thing, I didn’t do the thing, I ended up without a post idea for today and no books I could finish in time to review. But I found the A to Z Bookish Survey on A Bookish Bi, and I can’t resist a survey! Side note: I’m pretty sure I…… Continue reading A to Z Bookish Survey
This month’s Star Trek post is about four recent documentaries — a couple you’ve probably heard of and a couple you maybe haven’t, ranging from real good to real bad. Check it out and let me know if I’ve missed any! I’ve made some progress on #readmyowndamnbooks in August, thanks to grad school being over and me…… Continue reading Star Trek Documentaries and Challenge Update
I was browsing through my local library’s online catalog recently, as I often do, and found two interesting books listed next to each other: How to Read and Why by Harold Bloom, and How to Read Superhero Comics and Why by Geoff Klock. “That’s gonna make an interesting blog post,” I thought to myself, so…… Continue reading Classics, Comics, and Continuity, or, How to Explain Books You Like
Happy Pride Month, everybody! This week we’re talking about queer picture books, and it’s been a long time coming. I love a good picture book, and it can be hard to find queer-friendly ones. My first thought was to make a list, but plenty of people have done that, and if you’re super serious about…… Continue reading LGBT+ Picture Books: Getting Counted
You know how sometimes you’re just living your life and all of a sudden you’re doing a research project? That’s just me? Okay. The point is I got super interested in whether or not queer librarianship was a thing, and if so, what are the going concerns. Turns out it is, of course it is, and…… Continue reading 3 Books on Queer Reading and Librarianship
First, just a few titles for #readmyowndamnbooks this month… Paper books: Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale, reviewed here. On Writing by Stephen King. It’s wonderful, but you don’t need me to tell you that… It’s also the first Stephen King I’ve ever read or watched, but I’m going to try a novel or two now. Ebooks: Hamlet,…… Continue reading March #ReadMyOwnDamnBooks and Read Harder Challenge Updates
