I know I've used a lot of this week's covers before, but that's because they're awesome. So in your face. I know that didn't make any sense, but my brain is too hopped up on all the gorgeous redness of these covers right now for something as mundane as sense! No but really, I think we...

Despite no longer being in school myself, the recent start of a new school year has inspired me. Textbooks are generally such dreaded things it seems, and sometimes for good reason. Especially when it's a required class that you have no interest in. It also seems that many people, especially in high school, never even bothered reading the textbooks at all. But I did. I was that person. I have...

Bookish Musings: Why I Don’t DNF Books

Bookish Musings: Why I Don’t DNF Books

I was commenting on Aralyn's post over at Paper Addictions & Magic about why people might DNF books when I realized just how often it seems I find myself trying to explain why I don't DNF.
