Bookish Things I'm Thankful For - List!



Hello, everyone! I’m back, and I’m here to give a list of all of the bookish things that I am thankful for. With Thanksgiving approaching, it has put me in a festive and thankful move, and what better way to show it than by making a list of bookish things in which to be thankful. Let’s get started!

 
First, I’m eternally grateful for my never-ending TBR pile. It’s consistently being refilled with new and imaginative works of fiction that take me to worlds I couldn’t dream of. And while there is a slim possibility of me ever finishing my TBR pile, there is, however, a chance of me finding my next favorite book.

I’m very grateful for book-to-movie adaptations. Whether you love them or hate them, they provide us an opportunity to see the worlds we love on the big screen. Sometimes they get it right, and sometimes they break our hearts. But, it starts a discussion about our version and theirs, and it makes me happy to be a part of the conversation.

I’m thankful for Amazon Prime, a service where I can get any book I want sent to my kindle or a hard copy to my apartment in two days with free shipping. What I’m not grateful for is the impact this service has done to my wallet; however, my bookshelf will be eternally indebted.

I’m thankful for my book club and my graduate classes, which has expanded my literary horizons. I have read books this year that I would personally never pick for myself, but I found myself surprised and often giddy over some of the titles I’ve read. In fact, one of my favorite books this year has been Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, and I only picked it up for Booksplosion. So again, I’m very grateful for Booksplosion and my classes for getting me out of my box.

I’m also grateful for my recently updated GoodReads account. Yes, I know that is a very strange thing to be thankful for, but it’s such a great tool for readers who want to stay update. It tells me when my favorite books come out, and which books I’ve already read and rated. It also gives me the chance to see what everyone else is reading, and if everyone I’m following is raving about a book, I definitely want to check it out for myself.

Lastly, I’m thankful for this blog. It gives me a chance to read, watch, create, and review. It gives me a platform to do what I love and to share what I love with the rest of the world. Having all of you here to read what I think makes me feel special. Having all of you lovelies care enough to come back every week makes my heart happy. I only hope that I will continue to produce something that will make all you lovelies happy and coming back for more.

Now, I know a lot of you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but if you want, take a day out of your week and find something that you’re grateful for.

Stories I Ate This Month: May and June 2018

Hello, my lovelies! As you've probably noticed, today's post is going to consist of the stories that I have consumed in the last two months as opposed to just last month. This is mostly because May was a world-wind for me, and I didn't really consume a lot of content. I was mostly running around, trying to get my life in order (not that it's in a particular order at the moment), and other miscellaneous duties that took up most of my time. So today, I'm going to play catch-up and tell you my thoughts on the stories that I've consumed in May and June. Let's get to the reviews! I've read two books in the past couple of months, Death on the Nile  and The A.B.C. Murders . Both are by Agatha Christie and feature Detective Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie has a way of making a puzzling novel that keeps your attention without making things overly graphic or by adding unnecessary action scenes for the sake of drama. She's one of my favorite mystery auth

Stories I Ate This Month: February 2018

Hello, everyone! I'm back and I'm here to review all of the stories that I consumed this month. Yes, this post is over a month late, but I have plenty of excuses. One: I am exhausted. Two: being an intern is tough. Three: trying to live a normal life is much more difficult than I imagined. So, here I am. I'm late to the game. But I'm very excited to show you what I've read for the month. I hope you enjoy this post! The first two books that I finished this month are The Madness Underneath and The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson. These two books are the "final" books in the Shades of London series. I say "final" but there has been some speculation that the series has not yet been completed, which I tend to agree with. There are a lot of plot lines that haven't been concluded, and there's a new antagonist introduced in The Shadow Cabinet , and the book basically leaves off with a cliffhanger. With the recent publication of Truly Devious

Stories I Ate This Month: March 2018

So this month has been a bit of a bust. I haven’t read many book or watched that many movies, but the show must go on. Also, as a side note, I haven’t finished any season of any particular television shows this month, but I’ve started a few promising ones that will hopefully be completed in April. But anyway, here’s all the books and movies I’ve conquered this month. The first two books I read this month are The Hanging Tree and Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch. These books are the 5 th and 6 th book in his Peter Grant series which feature Detective, you guessed it, Peter Grant as he investigates criminal matters in London with a tendency for the supernatural. If you haven’t read my review about the other books of this series, I’ll reiterate. Ben Aaronovitch combines everything that I love within his novels, and does it in such a fashion that you can feel the commitment to his craft with every paragraph. His expertise with the London area and the unordinary is clearly visible
