Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share 10 book covers with unique typography this week. I thought this was an interesting topic. Very often the font on book covers is a very readable but boring sans serif font. I had fun looking for designs that broke the mold.
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share the “top 10 bookish discoveries I made in 2025.” I haven’t participated in a Top Ten Tuesday in quite a while. I sometimes get bogged down in going through all my read books to curate the perfect list so these posts can take me forever to write. But [...]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top 10 books of 2025 this week. I have barely reviewed anything this year so I’m including brief thoughts on each one as well.I’m unreasonably stingy with my five-star ratings so only two made it through this year (most links go to GoodReads but [...]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten books of 2024 this week. As always, most of these were not published in 2024 but I did read them this year. I’ve organized them by my rating but they’re simply in alphabetical order beyond that. I’ve noted if links go to my review; if I [...]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten characters who redeemed themselves this week (Topic suggested by Deanna at A Novel Glimpse).

Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten posts about ourselves this week. I usually share some personal details in my Weekly Update posts so if you follow those, you know quite a bit about me. But here are some dedicated posts about me. Back to Blogging–I wrote this in 2020 after [...]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to “Pick a relationship type and choose characters who fit that relationship as it relates to you. So, characters you’d like to date, be friends with, be enemies with, etc.” As a shy introvert, big personalities attract me and repel me at the same time [...]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten travel books this week. I've written about Books That Awaken My Travel Bug in the past so I'm posting a topic I missed instead--ten debut novels I enjoyed. I've tried to mostly choose books that are older or a little off the radar. I rated all [...]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten books of 2023 this week. I got bogged down early on with a couple of long books that really did not catch my attention but I refused to give up on them. That put me in an odd sort of reading slump. I read a few standouts but [...]
