Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read & Games I Played in 2025

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read & Games I Played in 2025

Next up on my end of the year lists: characters from the books I've read and games I've played! I also sneaked one podcast in here, but the title stays because it's not worth the work of changing the graphic. I also sneaked more than ten characters in here, technically, but that's ok. And I may have talked too much about some of them when these are supposed to be quick descriptions, but I...

Update: Life and Books (July 2025)

Ok, let's see. What happened in July that's actually worth talking about? I missed my blogiversary! My ten year blogiversary! So I will do a post for that this month, maybe next weekend. I watched Strange World, the Disney/Pixar/whatever movie. I liked it! I loved the visuals of the whole, well, strange world. And it was a cute story. Still playing BG3, though honestly, even that has...
 
Bookish Musings: Opening Lines (7)

Bookish Musings: Opening Lines (7)

It’s the first month of the year, and I was thinking, what better time for a post about the first lines of books? So that’s what I’m doing! It’s getting hard to keep track and not repeat books when I’ve done this so many times. You’d think it wouldn’t be that hard, considering I’ve must’ve...

Cover Love: Romantic Book Covers

I sort of wanted to do something for Valentine's Day (not that I'm celebrating, but I've been blogging for over seven years, I need to get ideas from somewhere), so this is what I decided on! Because book covers are fun. I have to be honest, I was a little bit lazy and mostly looked through covers I already had on my blog from previous posts. But not everyone has seen all those...

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2022 + Some Non-Bookish Things

My favorite books of the year! Who doesn't love talking about books they loved? Some of these were ones I'd been looking forward to, and they didn't disappoint. Some were sort of spontaneous reads. Some I didn't really know if they'd be my kinda book, but they surprised me in the best way. So here, in no particular order, are my top ten(ish) reads of 2022, plus a few other things I...

Cover Love: Best Book Covers from Books I Read in 2022

Is it just me, or are book covers getting better? I have SO many this year. These aren't in any order. I tried to group them together by similar art styles or color, just for a nice aesthetic. And I chose a few to talk about, but I couldn't talk about them all because I'd just be repeating how pretty everything is a million times. And most of them aren't just great art, they're also great text...
