My 5-Star Predictions | Books I think I’ll love
We’d all like to believe that we expect to love every book we pick up, but that’s just not the case. On this fall Friday I’m bringing to you my 5-star predictions. If you haven’t seen this going around, it was started by Mercedes of MercysBookishMusings on Booktube. She took a look at her shelves and the books on her TBR and guessed which books would get 5-stars once she read them. So I’m doing the same, and I’ll hopefully do a follow up post to see how accurate my predictions were.

Audiobooks I regret listening to | Discussion
You’d think a new blog that focuses on audiobooks would start off by talking about the audiobooks they just love, right?
~Well that’s not how I do things.~
I love audiobooks. They’ve gotten me from reading about 20 books a year to reading more than 100, they help ease my anxious tendencies and they are just plain fun to listen to. BUT that does not mean all audiobooks are created equal.

Netflix Book Tag |Tag Tuesday
Happy Tag Tuesday, fellow readers! I found this tag on Thrice Read (originally created by A Darker Shade of Whitney on Booktube) and liked how broad the questions are. Enough preamble, into the questions!
An ode to broken spines: Why I gave them up for audiobooks
So let’s pretend I still have any readers back from 2013. This blog began as “Cracking the Binding.” There wasn’t much reason for the name besides liking the sound of it. I was actually in the “books are sacred” club back then, never daring to dog-ear a page or to even carry around a book with its dust jacket on so it wouldn’t get ruined. 
But I love what a broken spine represents. It proves the book was well-loved. That the book was set face down so you wouldn’t lose your spot. You can imagine the book opened wide so the reader could squeeze one last chapter in before bed. It’s enthusiasm in one of the purest forms. If you love it for long enough, they even start to fall apart, like my well-worn copy of the Chamber of Secrets.
But life changes; it even changes the way you read sometimes.

Book Blog Newbie Tag
As promised, I’m back! I felt like the name change (post explaining the change coming soon) required a reintroduction, so what a better way to start than with the Book Blog Newbie Tag? The creator’s blog doesn’t exist anymore, but I found this from Dani’s Bookshelf.
Without further ado, let’s jump into the questions
Relaunch and rebranding coming soon!
I’m back! Well – nearly.
It’s been a long time, y’all, but I’m coming back with all the bookish content I can muster. Continue reading “Relaunch and rebranding coming soon!”
Quotes from “The Moon and More” by Sarah Dessen
It’s that time again, guys. Quote day!
It can’t be summer without a True Blood season and a Dessen book to devour whole. This time they came only weeks apart I’ll allow a week and a half for these to take effect and for summer to finally come. Continue reading “Quotes from “The Moon and More” by Sarah Dessen”
