Summer Book Unhaul 2021

As I mentioned in my book haul last week, one of my goals this year is to unhaul a book for each book I buy. In the last six months, I have bought 37 books. So today I'm unhauling 35 books (okay, so I kind of failed in my goal, but I'm hoping to find …

A Massive Summer Thrift Book Haul

For the last six months, I've been collecting quite a few books from thrift stores and Goodwills near me. So I thought it would be fun to share with you all the books I've bought from thrift stores so far this year. As my yearly resolution is to get rid of as many books as …

My Favorite Classic Translated Books

Don't get me wrong, I love British authors like Shakespeare and Jane Austen or American authors like Ray Bradbury and H.P. Lovecraft.

But is this sentiment really true? My answer (if you are absolutely too busy to read this post) is that yes, often books are better then the …

The second category are the book that, maybe I don't remember everything about them, but I remember that basics of what its about and what I …
