There are a lot of people out there who act like dog-earing pages is a crime. They insist it’s somehow disrespectful to the store and ruins the pages with the creases. Here’s a hot take: I completely disagree with this idea. I don’t think dog-earing pages is destructive at all....
The choice between reading an e-book and a physical book can feel a bit dramatic sometimes. While e-books offer convenience due to the ability to store them in your house and travel with them, physical books provide more sensory experiences that e-books can’t. This makes every reading session a tough...
Bookworms, let’s be honest here: finding time to read is a lot harder than it sounds. I love to read and would do so in a heartbeat if given the chance, but unfortunately, life tends to get in the way of that. There are always other things going on that need prioritizing...
When people talk about “Naruto,” it’s typically about the fight scenes or the jutsus. There’s so many different arcs they like, especially the war arc and the training ones. Then, of course, there’s Naruto’s Rasengan or the infamous Nine-Tails. However, the further you get in the story, the more you...
Dumbledore is a character that’s honestly complicated to understand. When he’s first introduced, readers would really think he’s this wise old guy who’s being nice, looking out for Harry and guiding him through this new world of magic and wizardry. Considering all that Harry’s faced back at home, this seems...
Katsuki Bakugo, from the manga “My Hero Academia,” is a character that’s a total hothead, from start to finish. He’s very emotional, and he comes across as cold and unfriendly to everyone around him. The good news is Katsuki has a redemption arc in this series, and it’s not your typical,...
I swear sometimes I tell myself I want something nice and light-hearted to read like a rom‑com. Then, of course, I pick the one where someone dies in chapter two, a family breaks apart or the heartbreak is slow but completely unavoidable (at least that’s what I tell myself instead...
I grew up on “The Gallagher Girls” books. I read them in middle school and then again in high school when I probably should’ve outgrown them. I didn’t care. They felt safe. The main character, Cammie Morgan, wanted to be invisible. She was good at it too. People called her...
I was just a kid when I first picked up “Dork Diaries” at the library. The title had “Diary” in it, and that was all it took to get me completely invested. Admittedly, I also really enjoyed looking at the doodles on each page as I read the story. I...
In many fantasy stories, the strong female character is usually this tall and all mighty warrior. She can fight with a weapon like a sword or even a bow and arrow and win battles like it’s any other typical day (looking at you, Katniss Everdeen and Feyre Archeron). Violet Sorrengail...
I’ve always loved books. But there’s a big difference between liking a book and fully spiraling into it. I’m talking deep in the fandom, writing theories no one asked for, lurking on forums, reading fanfiction at 1 a.m. because I need to know what happens if two background characters fall in love during an...
Okay, I’ll be honest. I picked up “They Both Die at the End” because the title shocked me. Like, seriously? You’re just gonna tell me that up front? No mystery, no plot twist? Just boom: they die. I almost didn’t read it with that kind of spoiler, but I’m really...
