For today’s post, I thought I would switch gears a bit and talk about  a lifestyle topic that is close to my heart, blogging. Blogging has been around since the early 2000’s, but it skyrocketed since the pandemic. Since people were forced to rethink the way they do business, many of them have turned to the online world. It is still popular today, and the competition is more fierce than ever. The following list includes the 14 most influential bloggers you should follow in 2024. Plus yours truly, of course!   The cool thing about blogging is that it can be done from anyw ..read more

  For today’s post I chose to include 15 of the best books about messy relationships I either read, or I’m planning to at some point in the future.    Check out the following books on Kobo   There are books about many topics I like to read about. Some of these topics include friendships, anything book related such as books about books, libraries or bookstores settings, or family sagas.    One of my favorite topics to read about in books is relationships. And the messier and more complex the better! Human beings are hard to get along with, and having healthy relati ..read more

  Whenever I can’t seem to get into a book, I usually pick up a popcorn thriller to cure my reading slump. I find this sub-category of thrillers totally bingeable, that is why I turn to them when nothing else seems to grasp my attention for longer than a New York  minute. So today, I thought I would share 10 bingeable popcorn thrillers with you, in case you need something to entertain you for a little while.    If you’ve been on this platform for a bit, remember that I did a previous article that explained the difference between mystery and thrillers, as well as their respe ..read more

    We read books about anything and everything, but books about friendships always give us a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. There are hundreds of books that touch upon this theme, so I narrowed down the list to 12 books about friendships. It was quite a task, because there are so many good books that feature this topic to choose from.   Some of them I’ve read, some I still plan to. They’re all special in their own way, that’s for sure.   Let’s see which 12 books about friendships I think are as good a place as any to start with.    The Sisterhood of the Traveling ..read more

    What I love about reading is that there are so many books written for anyone and everyone. But some super hyped books do not always appeal to me. The following 10 hyped books, among many others, I didn’t like. My unpopular opinions might raise some eyebrows, but honestly, I don’t care. Life’s too short to read boring books.    Plus at my age, other people’s opinions are simply their opinion. Which, in all honesty,  has no bearing on what I like or do not like. I’ve stopped caring about what people think a while ago, and it’s liberating. If you haven’t tried it yet ..read more

    February was an ok reading month for me, but I admit I could’ve done better. I read only five books and had a DNF for one I was really hoping I’d like. But it’s ok. This year I don’t regret setting books I don’t like to the side to make more time for enjoyable reads. Without further ado, these are my February 2024 book reviews.    The Last Grudge by Max Seeck     The Last Grudge   The third installment in the Jessica Niemi series, it is my favorite one so far. It seems as if the author gets better and better with each book he writes. We’ll see how the la ..read more

    Have you tried audiobooks yet? I’ve learned to love them in the past couple of years, and they’ve become popular with a larger demographic. What makes a good audiobook in my opinion is not only the story, which is super important, but mostly the narration. That is actually more appealing, as far as I’m concerned. The voice, the intonation, they all play a primordial role as far as audiobooks go. These are the 10 best audiobooks to listen to in 2024.   If you’ve never listened to an audiobook yet, you don’t know what you’re missing. And this list is just the beginning.   ..read more

    We all need to read books that have happy endings every now and then.  Especially if we generally read more dark, atmospheric books, like myself. I love a tear jerker sometimes, but I also enjoy the occasional book that leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling. And I prefer to read this genre around this time of year, to get in the Valentine’s Day mood! These are the best 10 books with happy endings to read in 2024.   Coming from a thriller lover such as myself, who knows, I might convert to reading romance more often.  Seriously though, I enjoy an easy-breezy chick-l ..read more

    We all know Instagram or, should I say, Bookstagram, as well as Booktok, has seen a surge in popularity in the last couple of years. For those of you who haven’t dipped their toes in yet, it offers bookworms like ourselves a safe space to discuss all things bookish. So, with that in mind, I thought doing a post about the 12 most Instagrammable books to read in 2024 is more than appropriate.    Who knows, after seeing this post you might want to check it out. But first, what do I mean by “most instagrammable books?”   In short, the books that fall under this categor ..read more
