Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books That Need a Sequel

In: Blog Hops

Hosted by Long and Short Reviews. I struggled with this week’s prompt because I’ve seen so many examples of genuinely great story ideas that were stretched out into more books than their premise actually required in my opinion.

Top Ten Tuesday: Ghost Stories

In: Blog Hops

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl My favourite genre is science fiction and fantasy. Since that’s an impossibly broad answer to this week’s prompt, Books From My Favorite Genre, I decided to narrow it down to something specific: ghost stories.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Became Great TV Shows

In: Blog Hops

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl This week’s topic was a page to screen freebie. I’ve decided to narrow down my focus to five books that were made into wonderful TV shows. I’ve left off a couple of the titles that I always discuss on this blog (*cough* The Handmaid’s Tale) so I could focus… Read More

Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books I Want Youth to Discover

In: Blog Hops

Hosted by Long and Short Reviews. I’d never tell a kid that they must read a specific book. Just because a story was meaningful to me at a certain age doesn’t mean every child or teenager would want to read it then. People grow at different rates, and we obviously all have different interests as… Read More
