Cover Characteristics: Book Covers featuring the Moon

Cover Characteristics: Book Covers featuring the Moon

So how perfect is this topic for a blog named Metaphors and *Moonlight*? Granted I went with the blog name because I like the night rather than the actual moon, but the moon is, you know, also nice. And kind of important. Just a little. (Did you know that, without it, our days would be shorter and the earth's axis would vary, causing extreme climate change like ice in Africa? I got curious lol....

Bookish Musings: Feminism and Double Standards in Books – Love Triangles

That being said, I still love hearing different opinions because that's what discussion is all about! So whether you agree and want to go on a whole rant or disagree and want to explain why, I...
 
Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten 2016 Releases I’m Looking Forward To

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten 2016 Releases I’m Looking Forward To

I know this isn't the correct topic for this week, but honestly, I don't even pay attention to what books are released, nor do I actually schedule what books I want to read ahead of time. So 2015 releases I meant to get to but didn't is too difficult for me. But I never actually participated in any of the 2016 release posts! So I figured this would be a good time to do that since there are series...

And since I start most of my posts ahead of schedule, I just kept bookmarking webpages until I finally compiled them...

Happy one week into the new year! (I know that's not a thing, but I never know how to start blog posts, so I'm goin' with it.) Speaking of the new year though, is everyone sticking to their goals and resolutions? And has the year started off by treating you right? It's been chilly here, which is not a good thing because I hate the cold and have a low body temperature as it is. I actually had to...
