This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Favorite Books of 2022. As usual, I'm only listing books that were published in 2022. I have a different post for backlist books I read in 2022. There are many 2022 releases that I didn't get to, and I assume some of those would have made this list … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books of 2022

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 … Continue reading Narnia Reread: The Last Battle
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, … Continue reading Narnia Reread: The Silver Chair
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 … Continue reading Narnia Reread: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
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 … Continue reading Narnia Reread: Prince Caspian
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 … Continue reading Narnia Reread: The Horse and His Boy
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 … Continue reading Narnia Reread: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Narnia Reread: The Magician’s Nephew
For years, I've wanted to reread The Chronicles of Narnia. I think the last time I read them was around 2010 when the Voyage of the Dawn Treader film was released. (But I might have only reread that one, I can't remember!) Every year, though, I find myself putting them off to read or reread … Continue reading Narnia Reread: The Magician’s Nephew
Book Review: ‘The Disappearances’ by Emily Bain Murphy
If you haven’t already noticed, I read a lot of books. By doing so, I find a lot of books I love. Whether it’s due to the story line or the characters or even the world-building, I have too many so-called favorites to properly list them all. But every once in awhile, I stumble upon … Continue reading Book Review: ‘The Disappearances’ by Emily Bain Murphy
