Random Musings: My Favorite Things (But Not the Ones You Think)

Random Musings: My Favorite Things (But Not the Ones You Think)

It's my ninth blogiversary! Or it will be in a few days. It's also 8:15 pm, and I totally forgot I needed to make this post by midnight or so. A little peek behind the curtain lol. Anyway, nine years is longer than most things I've done in my life. (And that's nine years since I started this blog. Abandoned blogs before this one don't count.) I've said before that I was always someone who...
 
Gamer Musings: My 5 Favorite Games in 5 Years of Blogging (about Games)

Gamer Musings: My 5 Favorite Games in 5 Years of Blogging (about Games)

It's my eight year blogiversary! But it's been five years since I started talking about games on the blog, in addition to books. And when my blog turned five years old, I made a post about my five favorite books in five years of blogging. So now I'm doing the same with games. That was a really clunky paragraph, but you get it, right? There are definitely more than five games that I love...

Bloggy Musings: How My Blog Got Its Name and Other Blog Backstory

It's my seventh blogiversary! Well, one of these days. I forget the exact date. Anyway, to celebrate each year, I like to do a personal sorta post, something about me that relates to reading or blogging. This year, I've decided to talk about some of the things on my blog, the design, why I chose the things I chose, etc. Will it actually be interesting to anyone? I don't know, but I'm doing it...
 
Bookish Musings: How Well Do You Know My Reading Habits? (A Quiz to Celebrate My 6th Blogiversary)

Bookish Musings: How Well Do You Know My Reading Habits? (A Quiz to Celebrate My 6th Blogiversary)

In honor of my sixth blogiversary (which was on the 9th), I decided to just have a little fun. So I've made a ten-question quiz about my books and reading habits! I decided not to use one of those quiz makers because 1) it's a lot of work, and 2) I don't know how accessible they are for screen readers. So you don't have to keep track of your results, but you can still guess and see if you got the...
 
Book Recs: My 5 Favorite Books in 5 Years of Blogging

Book Recs: My 5 Favorite Books in 5 Years of Blogging

My blog is five years old! (Well, a couple days ago, if we're being exact.) And although lately I haven't been blogging as much as I used to, I still love books, and I figured a fun way to celebrate my blogoversary would be to talk about my favorite books and series. I decided to stick with finished series, because that made it less complicated, but it's also all the more reason to give some...

Bloggy Musings: 5 Ways I’ve Changed as a Reader Because of Blogging

My 4-year blogoversary is this week! And each year I like to do some sort of post to commemorate the event. (The word 'commemorate' makes it sound like a big deal when it's really not lol.) Anyway, this year I decided to talk about some of the ways my reading has changed since I've started book blogging. Are all of these changes because of blogging? Are some of them just correlation but not...
 
Bloggy Musings: 5 Ways I’ve Changed as a Blogger After One Year of Blogging

Bloggy Musings: 5 Ways I’ve Changed as a Blogger After One Year of Blogging

Last weekend was my anniversary of one year blogging, and while I don't have any real celebratory stuff planned, I do always find it fun to look back and see how much things have changed in life. Some of these I think about quite often just because they're so funny or absurd to me, but I'm sure we all committed some faux pas or had some weird thoughts regarding book blogging when we started, so I...
