Can You Run a Book Blog with ONLY Book Reviews?

I've decided to take a twist to Pages Unbound's post Can You Run a Book Blog without Reviews? When I started Flying Paperbacks, my initial goal was book reviews. They were the thing that drew me into reading book blogs in the first place. Granted, before even considering creating said blog, I got into the…

My Review Process

So. Reviews... amirite? Honestly, thinking up this post was a trip in and of itself in the sense of when thinking about my elusive writing process when it comes to reviews.... it's an enigma. But frankly, are reviews easy to write? No. Yet you'd think I'd get better at it after five-ish years... No. Okay, I'll…

My Favorite Romance Tropes

I really wanted to make an on theme post considering its love day, but I haven't been in a booktag type of mood, I have no recommendations for you andddddd... I couldn't think of any other post to do except ramble. Because if I'm good at anything... it's talking too much. I had referenced this…

Must I Review Every Book I Read?

Short answer is no. There. Roll credits. Sorry, that was rude-- hi, hello, how are you? As you know, in my post about my Goodreads shelves, I had mentioned I have a pending reviews shelf. You know, for reviews I will in the foreseeable future create. However, as I was recruiting books for said shelves,…

Mid – Year Goals + Update

We are halfway through 2021! How has this year treated you so far? Now, I know we all have made some goals this year: some big, some small, some subconsciously. I know when I had made mine, I didn't have the highest hopes of actually following through... I usually fall off after week two. (bars).…

I’ve Overwhelmed Myself with Books.

It's been a hot minute since I've just rambled on here, but I'd thought I would come on here to talk about a factor of burnout. Specifically, being overwhelmed. As you all have seen, things have been... inconsistent and rocky over here. When will she post? NO ONE KNOWS... I forgot how much I love…

Webtoon’s to Start/Catch Up On

Ah, how we love our list of thing I plan on doing but never follow through with... (and why I'm speaking in third person we'll never know...) Really short, fun little post, but! Per my 2021 goals and aspirations, I wanted to consume more kinds of media. T.V. shows, movies, anime, audiobooks.... THE WORKS. Yet,…

2021–Goals and Aspirations

If you were expecting a wrap-up... you're not getting one. Come back in February for that. But! I'm just feeling 2021... either that or I'm just desperate for change. So, with the new year comes the goals and I'm going to go easy on myself and not only set reasonable goals, but I'm thinking I'm…

My Favorite Books over the Years.

It's the end of a decade! And... I didn't know how I'd formulate this post. Because this year... wasn't my best year when it came to reading... or life in general (but we won’t go there). Not only did I have to cut my Goodreads challenge in half, but this was just the year of…

Santa, Might I Recommend… Books to put under my Christmas tree?

{to the people who like my post even when they're unfinished and accidentally upload? ya'll are the real MVPs}. Dear Santa, I deserve happiness, alright? And considering what 2020 has done to all of us, the least you can do is give me what I want. That being said, my address is... I'm joking (kind…
