Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Hope to Own Soon-ish

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books I Hope Santa Brings/Bookish Wishes. Like before, I'm not going to link to Amazon or anywhere for anybody to purchase. I also don't usually focus on what I get/don't get for Christmas. But I will make a list of books I'd like to own at some point, …

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Recent Reads

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is My Ten Most Recent Reads. I usually work on my blog posts ahead and since I'm not sure what I'll be reading the first few days in May, I thought I would just list the last ten books I read in April. I am not including audiobooks in …

Top Ten Tuesday: Books Written Before I Was Born

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books Written Before I Was Born. This seems like an odd prompt to me because I feel like there are hundreds and hundreds of books that were written before I was born. (I'm not that old!) But I realize there are probably thousands that were written after I …

Narnia Reread: The Last Battle

The Last Battle was the last book I read in 2019, which I find fitting since I spent half the year revisiting Narnia after so many years. This is the book that I remembered least of all. There are moments I could picture, but there weren't many and most of them were about the end …

Narnia Reread: The Silver Chair

The last two books in The Chronicles of Narnia are the ones I remember the least. Whether that's because I don't like them as well or because every time I try to do a reread of the series I never get to them, I don't know. But as I started to reread The Silver Chair, …

Top Ten Tuesday: Changes in My Reading Life

This week's Top Ten Tuesday is Changes In My Reading Life. I didn't really think about how my reading life has changed over the years until this prompt. But there are a few different aspects of my reading life that have shifted since high school and college. Audiobooks: A few years ago, I would have scoffed at …

Narnia Reread: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

For a long time, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has been my favorite of the The Chronicles of Narnia. There's just something about the high seas adventure and the magic of the islands that gets me excited. This also happens to be the Narnia book with a dragon in it, and I can't help but …

Narnia Reread: Prince Caspian

I forgot how much I loved Prince Caspian. The more I reread this series, the more I realize that as much as I love The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and as much as it was the gateway to reading the rest of this series, it is not my favorite Narnia book. One of …

Narnia Reread: The Horse and His Boy

Growing up, The Horse and His Boy was my least favorite Narnia book. I don't remember why—maybe because it's not about Narnians or because it takes place when the Pevensies are grown up—but I never connected to the story like I did with almost all of the other books. So I was excited to finally reread …

Narnia Reread: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The second box in Pixie Dust Official's Narnia inspired boxes was, of course, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. For a long time, this was my favorite of the Narnia books, probably because it was the most well-known and the first in the series to be published. I've always felt a special connection to Lucy …
