Is the book worthy of a re-read? Is it not?
That is the question I, as a book blogger and reading aficionado, am out to discover whilst reading through my extremely large tbr. See which ones I have deemed worthy of a re-read here.
Who am I as a book blogger?
I’m Katherine, a FMC in my own novel of life who has a passion for reading and the desire to type up my opinions and share with anyone who finds my reviews.. if no one finds them, then at least I had fun being a book blogger, reading books and exploring my thoughts about them.
Reading is my passion, and when I am not working my corporate job you can usually find me curled up on the couch, nose in my kindle, mind in a fantasy world, and a cat on my lap begging-for-but-not-getting attention.
There is nothing like the escape from everyday life, dropping into an exciting fantasy world with hot, morally grey, men who may-or-may-not be fae or vampires and feeling your heart pound as the enemies slowly turn to lovers and all hell breaks loose. 5 stars!
Genres
Generally I enjoy reading for the escape from everyday life, so I mainly stick to dark romance, dark fantasy romance, fantasy, romance, romantasy, erotica, YA fiction, and NA fiction.
Top 5 favorites:
- Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
- Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin
- A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
- A Shadow in the Ember by Jennifer Armentrout
DNF (did not finish)
I generally am opposed to dnf-ing because I don’t like to quit, and would prefer to power through. HOWEVER, in 2023 I started reading like crazy again and decided that if I was going to read for pleasure, there is no sense in forcing myself to read something I am not enjoying. If I would rather scroll on my phone or watch tv than pick up my book, it is a dnf for me.
Preferred medium for reading, reviewing, and tbr-ing
My preferred medium for reading is on my kindle paperwhite. I wanted one for a long time and in early 2023 pulled the trigger. It compounded into an average of 13 books per month read, and I have not looked back since. The kindle is awesome! tons of storage, small and portable, super long battery life, easy on the eyes…. I could go on but this is not an ad and I am not sponsored so I will stop.
My preferred medium for reviewing is obviously this site! As a book blogger, a book blog is a must have! Second favorite is Hardcover, which is where I also manage my tbr. It is an awesome GoodReads alternative run by a couple of guys who are creating a really cool community. You should check it out and look me up when you do – we can be book buddies. I also post reviews on Amazon, BookSirens, NetGalley, Instagram, Bookbub, and Reedsy.
ARC Reading
My dream is to quit my corporate job and be an arc reader + book blogger until I have enough money saved to retire… where I will probably continue arc reading and book blogging. I recently started reading arc’s and it is pretty cool. I have some series and big name books I would LOVE to get an arc for, but I truly enjoy reading indie authors and exploring harder to find books. If you want to send me an arc, great! I will humbly accept. I frequent NetGalley, Instagram, and also BookSirens for arcs, but would love to connect with authors and publishers directly!
