With the digital age as prominent as it is many libraries have seen fit to keep up with the times. One of the ways they are doing this is by offering digital collections that you can access right from your home. This is not exactly a new function, ebooks have been available from many libraries […]
I’ve been a part of the book community for a long time now but in recent months I’ve found myself pulled into much more of the professional side of books and publishing. As I work on my own books and start doing research to enter the publishing world as an author (hopefully) I’ve been […]
I’m a huge fan of audiobooks and have been since I was a young child. I remember laying in front of our giant entertainment cabinet putting little cassette tapes into a bulky box so that a stranger could read to me. From there it became CDs, and now I can download them digitally through […]
When it comes to bookish apps to have I feel like most of us have or have at least tried the Goodreads mobile app. But how is it functionally? The answer? Ehhh not that great. The Goodreads app works. Most of the time. But working and being user friendly are not the same thing. The […]

*SIGH* Where do I even begin with this thing. Well there’s this, it makes me want to headdesk so hard. Don’t get me wrong, it was better than having to ereader. Granted, the thing irritated so much that I hardly used it, but I was happy to at least have something. But let me tell […]
A while back Jenny came on here and talked about the Kindle Paperwhite. Ever since, I wanted to start talking about and reviewing things that weren’t books. Just think about how many things we use as bloggers and readers everyday that fall into the category of “bookish” but aren’t actually books. Of course, we have […]
