My 5-Star Predictions | Books I think I’ll love

On By Kristan @ Lit ListeningIn Discussion, General, TagsLeave a comment

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.

It’s WWW Wednesday, a tag hosted on Taking on a World of Words It’s easy to do, just answer the three questions below!

This first post I’ll be wrapping up the first two weeks of September, and then I’ll be weekly going forward. Into the wrap up!

My battered hand-me-down copy

Hi, everyone!

As I prefaced in my quotes post, I’m writing this review in preparation of this weekend’s season premiere of HBO’s True Blood. I’ve watched the show since it started in 2008, and while I do have some problems with the direction it’s heading, I am still a huge fan.

Introduction Post

On By Kristan @ Lit ListeningIn Uncategorized3 Comments

Hi all!

So, to introduce myself, I’m a journalism student at the University of Florida and, according to my mom, an aspiring J.K. Rowling. I’m starting this book blog so I can get back to what I love — reading and writing without a test coming up.

Starting soon, I’ll review books — old and new, popular and unknown (whatever Alachua County Libraries can supply). I’ll try my best to both keep you all entertained and up-to-date with the latest news in the book world.

So, without further ado….

 

Will post my first review soon!
