Bookish Musings: Consistency in Book Series

For anyone who doesn't already know this about me, I am a series girl. I absolutely adore series and much prefer them to standalone books. There are so many reasons that I love series, but that's not really what this post is about. Instead, I want to talk about consistency among series because, well, it's been a bit of a problem for me lately. And when I have a bookish problem, I bring it to you...

Bookish Tag Post: Olympic Book Tag

Bookish Tag Post: Olympic Book Tag

I wasn't planning on doing this tag since I've never actually done any tags before, but I figured this would be my one and only chance since the Olympics don't last very long and won't be around for another four years... So here I am! Doing my first tag. I have to admit I don't watch many of the sports, but, since I used to be a gymnast, I am always super excited about the summer Olympics just...

The Weekly Update: 8/7/16

Wow, I actually don't have anything "real life" to talk about this week. Oh! The Olympics have officially started, so that's something. I have to admit I didn't bother watching the opening ceremonies, but I'll definitely be watching the gymnastics :-) It's not often I actually get to watch gymnastics on TV, so the Olympics is a very exciting time for me lol. Other than that, as I said, nothing to...

Book Review: The Experiment (Saving Caeorleia Book 1) by Alicia Nordwell

Five years ago Ryker signed up for what was supposed to be a harmless experiment only to end up tortured, abused, and changed into an alien species.

Ryker starts to realize he might have a...
 
Bookish Musings: How Different Would Humans Be if We were Immortal Like Paranormal Creatures?

Bookish Musings: How Different Would Humans Be if We were Immortal Like Paranormal Creatures?

I say "we" as though I am one of you. Muahahahaha! Just kidding. Or am I...? Anyway, that was a long title, but I didn't know any other way to accurately portray what this discussion will be about. Actually I'm still not sure that's accurate, but close enough. You see, I read LOTS of paranormal and urban fantasy, so I end reading about creatures with immortality or extended lifespans quite often....
