Love your books, break their spines
Do you have a genre or subject that turns you off automatically when it comes to books or fiction? I decided to have a good old fashioned rant about my two, so enjoy. Note: I am perfectly willing to give these two genres another chance, so if you have any reading recommendations for them please… Continue reading Popular Horror Genres I HATE
This post is probably a bit of a discussion post. I would love to hear everyone's opinions on it, blogger or not. So I research ideas for blog posts. I think all bloggers do it. They have a little browse of the net, read other blogs and see if they can find a little spark… Continue reading DISCUSSION: Book Blogging, Horror & Gender
I am just going to say it: Summer is the worst time for reading. Now this might surprise some people, but generally, I love Summer the season. I know I look like a pale corpse who thinks it is Halloween all year round, but I love Summer. The weather is great, there is less traffic… Continue reading Why Summer Reading Sucks
This is probably going to ruffle a LOT feathers but....Comic book YA novels WTF I have noticed a new trend in bookshops and in the book world that really bothers me: Novels about comic book characters.

One book might have caused this post but trust me,… Continue reading A Writer’s Guide to Kiss Scenes
"I only read REAL books" "I can't read if I can't touch the book" "You didn't really read it if you only listened to it" Sound familiar at all? I have heard this from a stream of people over the years when I mention that I occasionally listen to audiobooks. It usually comes from casual readers… Continue reading Why We Need to Stop Hating on Audiobooks
This is going to be a bit of a rant about something that has left me disillusioned with the whole online book community as a whole, and that is materialism. Ever since I started book blogging, watching "booktube" videos and visiting other book blogs I noticed my book buying behaviour changing. I had to have the… Continue reading Break Your Book Spines
