The Guthrie is doing a run of Cyrano de Bergerac, which is my absolutely MOST FAVORITE PLAY, and I really want to go to it! Fittingly, Netflix also just released a movie that's a modern day teenage rom-com retelling of Cyrano as well, and so this post was born!! I don't know why Cyrano de Bergerac (written by Edmond Rostand) …

I saw this tag over on A Great Read and knew I HAD to do it (even though I don't normally do these memes/tags). Ready for a game of telephone? She found the tag through JennReneeRead , who originally saw it over at The Book Nut. Note: Clicking the book covers will take you to the book's Amazon …
I asked on my Twitter account the other day whether people keep a digital catalog of their books, and if so what method/tool they use. LOTS of people said they use Goodreads - but that it's pretty out of date. I don't keep a digital record of which books I own, but I'm thinking about …
This year I'm trying something new for me and creating a TBR each month. So far I haven't done a very good job of reading the books on my TBR, but it does help me to focus at the beginning of the month on what ARCs I've got out there that are releasing soon, what …

Today I'm going to tell you about some of the books I'm waiting for an I am SO SUPER EXCITED FOR. There are a LOT of them, so I've narrowed it down to the ones about nerds, LOL. That's right, you heard me - these are the books with the nerdy MCs. Can't Escape Love by …

Da-da dunn dunn dunn - Another one bites the dust! *Michael Jackson dance moves* Okay, let's be real - I don't have any Michael J. moves. Just way too many books. Which brings me to today's topic - how do you decide what books to get rid of?I was actually going to write about this …

I was originally going to do another installment of Project: Re-Shelf Yourself today about how to decide which books to weed out, but with all the stuff about Marie Kondo's methods on Twitter and Instagram and in the blogosphere this past week or so I just couldn't stomach it. Maybe next week. INSTEAD, today I'm …
I am sloooowly making progress towards making sense of my home library. (You can read my initial post about Project: Re-shelf Yourself and see my hideous before photos here.) Right now I'm working on putting all of my whoozits and whatzits into totes and boxes so they're out of the way, and I've got friends …
