Renee began Throwback Thursday at Its Book Talk as a way to share some of her old favorites as well as sharing books that she wants to read that were published over a year ago. Books that were published over a year ago are almost always easier to find at libraries or at a discounted sale price. As I have been sifting through my TBR list and purging those books that no longer hold my interest, I came across several from years past that I’d love to share with you! Continue reading
Thank you so much to Charlotte Annelise for nominating me! Charlotte has so many wonderful posts, if you aren’t following her blog you should go check it out. I’m usually a little hesitant about sharing things about myself on the blog but I thought today I would make an exception.
Hello and welcome to this edition of Down the TBR Hole! I’ve finally reached the part of my TBR list on Goodreads that I actually, at least vaguely, remember adding. Exciting, isn’t it? Yes? No?

I started Literary Weaponry for a few reasons. The first being that I have definite opinions about books and I wanted to share them outside of Goodreads and Amazon reviews. Secondly, I wanted a website for my resume as I have been applying for newspaper, library, and transcription work. I can’t deny that I hope to make money from this at some point, however, it is also just fun and fulfilling to be a part of this diverse reading community.
How does anyone answer that question? It’s like asking which kid is your favorite. I’ll give you a couple:
In books or in the world? In books I hate weak characters most. You know, that character that always needs saved and has no thoughts in their head and ignores the fact that free will is a thing? I hate that. I hate it more than love triangles and anything else. In the world, if I had to put a pin on it, I hate prejudices. It frustrates me to no end that I go out with my family and we get funny looks. I am Caucasian, my husband is Puerto Rican, and obviously our daughter is an adorable mix of the two. The looks we get sometimes just make my blood boil.
Salted pretzels with cheese dip. Holy moly, it is so hard to resist those. I need the warm, salty pretzels and the sticky artificially colored and flavored orange cheese dip. It is amazing.
Uuuuhhhhh. I’m not one for hobbies so that is a bit difficult. I love watching old MASH reruns. You can never have too much Alan Alda. I feel like I’m writing an ad for a dating website or something, “I love old TV shows, listening to the rain on the roof, and catching fireflies.”
I hereby tag:
All ya’ll. I mean really, if you want to do this, please do it! If you do pop your link in the comments so I can take a look. Have a beautiful day, everyone.
Here we are at the end of July. Summer is winding down and all things “pumpkin” are starting to show up in stores and I’m sure the infamous pumpkin spice latte is not far behind. I don’t mind fall, but the last bit of summer is always bittersweet.
July wasn’t the most fantastic month of reading for me. Let’s face it, the bright sunshine had me outside with the dog more often than I sat inside curled up with a good book.
I ran across this tag over at Reading Every Night and thought it looked like fun. There are so many beautiful book covers in such varied colors. I’ve been guilty of buying a book by the strength of it’s cover alone and, admittedly, eye catching color combinations certainly play a roll in that. Here are some covers of books I have read that make up the rainbow!
Rules:
Bryant & May and the Bleeding Heart (Bryant and May #11) by Christopher Fowler
It was pretty hard to find an orange book that I had read!
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire
Freedom’s Ransom (Catteni #4) by Anne McCaffrey
Silent in the Sanctuary by Deanna Raybourn
The Witch of Painted Sorrows by M.J. Rose
The Song Rising by Samantha Shannon
The Tale of Castle Cottage (The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter #8) by Susan Wittig Albert
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
That is it for the Rainbow Book Tag! It was actually pretty difficult to find the orange and pink covers. Red, black, and white gave me plenty of options! If you want to do this tag, please do, just toss your link to it in the comments here so I can check it out. Have a beautiful day, everyone!
Also, toss me a follow over on Goodreads. I’d love to see what everyone is reading!
