• Where Do My Preferences Lie?

  This is a good question because I am not so sure I know myself. I have read a lot over the last few years, and I have grown and adapted my reading to what appeals to me more in that moment of life. Things that were once staples have become nostalgic throwbacks, less favoured genres…

• A Little About Me, annafromuni

  Yesterday was my birthday, hence I didn’t post anything. Today, instead of a review post, I have decided to write a little about myself. Nothing extensive, but something different from my usual discussion content that I think wraps everything up nicely. What do I like? What got me into the field I am in? What…

• Can I Trust Bookstagram Recs Now?

  After experiencing the highs, lows, hypes and underwhelm that Bookstagram has to offer, I started asking myself this question: can I trust Bookstagram recs now? I have caught myself a few times this year before I jumped on a bandwagon that I knew in my hearts of hearts wasn’t going to be for me. I…

• Reading Books From Around the World

  I don’t shy away from reading widely, as many of you know, but one thing I want to make more commonplace with my reading and reviews is the diversity of my reads in terms of their authors, characters, and settings. I don’t just want to pick up an asian author once a month, or when…

• My Scholarly Reading Month Debrief

  Considering plans went out the window and many DNFs were had during the last month, I figured some of you may be interested in finding out how my Scholarly Reading Month really panned out. What did I not share? How come some of the author names I mentioned in the Scholarly Reading Month post at…

• Season Specific vs Mixed Reading

  So after all these multiple genre discussion posts, I’ll finish up on a easier and admittedly open-ended chat about when to read books. This is also be a shorter discussion as I have done a similar posts to this in the past, but I feel the topic fits with the whole multiple genres direction I…

• How Do I Read So Many Genres

  I’ve explained why reading so many genres is beneficial and I have given a rough rating guide for my reviewing system across genres, but how do you go about reading so many genres? Surely the jump from one type of book to seven all at once is too jarring to make? You would be correct,…

• How I Rate Books Across Genres

  Everyone rates books differently using their own preferences and expectations to judge where a book fits on the scale. For some, there are few 5-star reads to be found, reserved for only the best of the best across years of reading. They may not even give out a 5-star year in a given year because…

• Why Do I Recommend Reading Many Genres?

  You may have noticed that I post a lot of different kinds of books, from science fiction to contemporary romance, foreign literature to homegrown New Zealand fiction, and even a few poetry or short story collections get thrown in from time to time. This may be strange for you if you read one or two…
