Welcome to day 18 of #BookBlogWriMo! Today we’re talking subgenres. Ah, a short and sweet post. Just what I need today! Let’s see, what’s happened today?

Welcome to day 17 of #BookBlogWriMo! I can’t believe we’re so far in! Today we’re talking about tropes, because I like them too much to call them cliches. 😛 So, not every book can be original. There are only so many ways a hero and heroine can meet. Only so many types of obstacles they can encounter. Only so many relationship dynamics.

Welcome to Day 2 of #BookBlogWriMo! Today’s topic is about how I read. The easiest way to explain it? Schizophrenicish (Webster, add that to your dictionary, please). I read a lot of different things in a lot of different formats. And for so long, I was very anti-ebook. So here’s my story:
