As readers, we all get ourselves into a reading slump from time to time. Just like anything you love, too much is like not enough. As they say, in life, everything is better done in moderation. In theory, anyway. In practice, not so easy. I figured since it’s a common occurrence for any […]
How’s My 22 for 2022 Challenge Going So Far?
At the beginning of the year, if you recall, I said that I would join the 22 books for the 2022 challenge. The goal was, and still is, to get through as many books from my own library before purchasing more. As a bonafide bookworm, I will never, ever stop buying books. Just in […]
April Reads
I had high hopes that in April I would be able to read two books a week. Although I came very close, I did not achieve the goal I set for myself. I still got through seven books. That is pretty respectable, if I may say so myself. I squeezed in Reckless Girls the last […]
Author Spotlight Series
Hello, friends! I thought I would start a monthly author spotlight series for you, fellow bookworms. First, I thought I would only do a yearly Nordic Noir feature in November, but now I’m thinking a monthly feature is feasible. Yearly seems too far apart, am I right? I’m really hoping that I can stick […]

How Do You Style Your Bookcase?
One of the bookworms’ never-ending problems is how to style your bookcase. As a true bookworm, I suffer from this dilemma. Those of you who follow me on Instagram are familiar with my bookish chaos. I literally have piles of books everywhere, because I don’t have much room for extra bookshelves. Besides buying books, […]
February Reads
Introduction Hello friends, glad to see you here again. February started off a very promising reading month for me, but I only ended up finishing four books. I began reading three others as well, but some library loans came in so I had to put mine back to finish off later. One of them is […]
January Reads
New Year, new reads. I look forward to a great reading year, and I hope I can catch up on some books that I already own. Until then, let’s see which books I’ve decided to start the year with. Girls Who Lie by Eva Bjorg Aegisdottir girls who lie This is […]
22 Books for 2022
Hey guys, hope all’s well with you. This year, I decided to try to put a dent in the books I already own and read 22 books from my own library. I own more than 100 books that I haven’t read yet, so 22 is really not a huge number. The Challenge […]
