Sunday Musings: Back to School

The list of 300 Books Everyone Should Read At Least Once rolled around Facebook earlier in the summer. Without counting the books on the list that I totally plan to read within the next year or so, I managed to score a pathetic 87/300 books read. I’ve read lots of books, but I guess these […]

Sunday Musings: The Word of Promise

Last year, I decided to really up my audiobook challenge game when I discovered the celebrity audio drama, Word of Promise. This is the complete reading of the New King James Version Bible by a red carpet list of celebrities. It should be noted that the majority of the actors performing this masterpiece are white, […]

Sunday Musings: Worlds Without End Update

School’s out, which means life can settle down to a more reasonable pace. At least for a little while! Despite the crazy over the past few months, I have managed to tuck away several entries for the various challenges that keep me focused on my annual reading goals. There’s the standard Goodreads challenge, where I […]

Sunday Musings: Representation Matters

More than once here at BiblioSanctum, I have complained about or praised a book for its lack of or inclusion of diverse characters. I write reviews where I am compelled to point out where diversity shines or fails. Why? Because I can’t help but notice it. Because it matters to me. It matters to me […]

Sunday Musings: Novelizations

This year, I am turning my attention back to movie novelizations. I used to read them when I was young–mainly the ones featuring the most beloved of movies. Actually, I just read the Star Wars and Terminator books. The rest I shunned because novelizations are just cheap cash grabs and why would I want to […]

Sunday Musings: Review Rut

Normally, when I read a book, I’m already writing the review in my head. Last year, for whatever reason (and there were many valid ones), I just wasn’t in the right mind set to do so. I thankfully still was able to get in the right mind space to read or listen to books, but […]

Sunday Musings: Space and Beyond

Last year, I signed up for “Somewhere Out There,” a Worlds Without End reading challenge focused on works that take place in the vastness of space. I only managed to complete about half of my required reads. This year, I am trying again with the “Space Opera” challenge: I’ve filled out my desired reads for […]

Sunday Musings: How Writers Write Fiction

I can write. I know I can write. I’m confident in my ability to write. But there’s always more to learn. I’ve been looking for a long while for a writing course that could help me hone my craft, while still fitting within my budget. This was a difficult task until I discovered the University […]

Sunday Musings: Back to the Library

I did it. I finally did it. I went to the library and renewed my library card after months of delinquency. I’m ashamed really. How could I let my library card expire? For shame indeed. Not that I haven’t visited lately. Our local library has many great programs for kids and my seven-year-old has been participating […]

Sunday Musings: Goodbye 2015

I love Goodreads. It makes creating these year-end wrap up posts so much fun because the site kindly puts together all of your reading statistics for you. This year, they’ve gone one step further to make a really pretty chart of my Year in Books (click for the complete list and cool graphical display — […]
