Follow along on my fragrant chronicles
A fun topic this week which required a bit of catching up by me. I don't want to admit to being clueless when it comes to social media, but I only know Instagram and blogging. After a fair amount of social platform polling (and trolling) here's what I got: 10. Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights)-Facebook. Once I... Continue Reading →
*Apologies for the delay on this post. That 3-day weekend here in the states must have thrown me out of whack. I believe the point of today's topic is to give bookish hangovers a positive connotation, as in books that were so memorable, one couldn't get over them. Well, it has been a long time,...

Not done with those Best of the Decade posts, quite yet. Specific to books which I've personally read. (I really wanted to do this as a topic last year) so here goes... 10. We Were Liars e. lockhart I had some issues with the plot, but love the way the cover evokes a state of... Continue Reading →
10. I discovered that I can not complete my Good Reads challenge and not care, much. I've read enough satisfying quality in the last year, that the quantity doesn't matter. 9. I'll always choose variety over sticking with a single author, series or genre. Not so much a discovery since I've practiced this habit awhile,... Continue Reading →
10. The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke. Okay, listing this title has become an inside joke due to the fact it's filled a tbr spot every month since January. I've put off this Beowulf reimagining all year, but must check off the "retelling" prompt for my reading challenge. It's now or never. And the... Continue Reading →
There are so few threads tying these random books together, I could only conjure two: numeric titles plus, at some point, I've read them. Just for funzies, I included my star rating. 10. A Million Little Pieces | James Frey ★★★☆☆ 9. Marvel 1602 | Neil Gaiman ★★★★☆ 8. Fahrenheit 451 | Ray Bradbury ★★★★☆... Continue Reading →
This Tuesday we're dishing or dissin' book tropes. A trope is a commonly used theme or plot device. There are a few bookish themes that ring my chimes every time, while others make me cringe with each encounter. Declaring my bookish love it or leave it judgments below: 10. Breaking away from the plot to... Continue Reading →
Hey, this gal works in a public library and must endorse borrowing with every given chance. Truthfully, I rarely buy any new releases. Most of my book pennies go to thrifted classics and childhood favorites. My personal library is eclectic, full of mismatched sets and spines that possess names of long-dead writers. If I were...

Missed out on this prompt back in May because I couldn't get my post together in time, but I really wanted to share my character twinning. Insert this week's character freebie; I see a little bit of me in all of them. Listed chronologically by age and sorta cheated by including non-literary characters. Mary Anne... Continue Reading →
The topic this Tuesday is top 10 fill-in your favorite genre. Eye-opening books may not be my favorite (or even a genre) but it's the theme I felt compelled to write on this week. Influenced by the spirit of the truth-telling finale in the gut-wrenching HBO series, Chernobyl, I relate ten favorite eye-opening reads. I... Continue Reading →
