I’ll be honest, historical fiction is one of those genres I fell in love with a bit late in my reading journey. At first, I thought it was all dusty castles, long-winded wars, and stories I couldn’t quite relate to. But then I picked up a historical novel that blended real events with a powerful…

I’ll admit it, I once thought “cooking books” had something to do with whipping up recipes or experimenting in the kitchen. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. When I first heard the phrase, I imagined someone literally putting their recipe collection on the stove. Turns out, “cooking the books” has a much sneakier, financial twist to it….

I’ll be honest, my book collection grew way faster than I ever expected. At one point, I had neat shelves. Then, suddenly, I had piles of novels, cookbooks, and random paperbacks spilling out everywhere. The problem? Not enough bookshelves. Instead of stressing, I started getting creative about where to put books without a bookshelf, and…

I don’t know about you, but nothing bothers me more than picking up one of my favorite hardcover books and seeing a layer of dust, a coffee stain, or fingerprints smudged across the cover. Hardcover books are sturdy, yes, but they aren’t indestructible. Over the years, I’ve learned a few simple tricks on how to…

A few months ago, I was staring at a stack of old hardcover books that I hadn’t touched in years. Some were worn out, others outdated (hello, old tech guides!), and I honestly didn’t know what to do with them. Tossing them in the trash didn’t feel right, but then the big question hit me:…

I’ve always loved walking into a library, the quiet, the smell of paper, the shelves lined with stories waiting to be discovered. But one random day, while picking up a novel, I caught myself asking: Where do libraries get their books? It wasn’t something I had ever thought deeply about, but once the question popped…

I’ll be honest with you, I love books. The smell of a fresh page, the feeling of diving into another world, and the endless imagination they bring, yeah, that’s special. But as much as I adore reading, I’ve got to admit something: movies often win me over. Maybe it’s the visual storytelling, maybe it’s the…

I’ll admit it, I used to think reading two books at once was like trying to binge two different TV shows in the same evening. Wouldn’t I mix up the characters? Forget the plots? Or worse, get so confused that I wouldn’t finish either? But curiosity (and my overflowing bookshelf) eventually pushed me to try….

I’ll be real with you, I’ve always been the kind of person who hoards books. Some are old college textbooks, others are novels I swore I’d read again (but never did), and then there are the impulse buys from bargain bins. One day, staring at my overflowing shelves, I finally asked myself: is selling to…

I’ll admit it, I’ve never had enough space for a proper bookshelf. My growing pile of books used to sit in random corners until I got creative. If you’re like me, living in a small apartment or just trying to keep things neat without buying more furniture, figuring out how to store books without a…
