#LetsDiscuss2021 #5 – Reading: Goals and Guilt – #DiscussionSunday.

 

Why do we set reading goals? Do they really help us read more (or read different types of books)? How guilty should we feel when we see we aren't reaching these goals?

#LetsDiscuss2020 #19 – Reviewing Sequels Out of Order – Let's Talk Bookish #2.

This article was inspired by the Let's Talk Bookish topic hosted by Rukky @ Eternity Books and Dani @ Literary Lion, for the week October 2-9, which is:

SHOULD YOU REVIEW A SEQUEL WITHOUT READING THE FIRST BOOK?

"When selecting ARCs do you ever choose sequels where you haven’t read the first book in a series? Do you think it’s fair to review a sequel without the context of the first entry in a series? Do you take someone’s review seriously if they mention they haven’t read the preceding books? Should reviewers even be allowed to do this?"

#LetsDiscuss2020 – Am I a Politically Correct Reader? – #DiscussionSunday #10.

With the #BlackLivesMatter protests taking place across the globe, together with June being Gay Pride Month, I noticed that many bloggers have been putting up posts with their top ten books by authors of color, or their top ten LGBTQ+ books. Now, I don't like to mix politics with books on my blog. Still... I generally care about equal rights for all, so... that made me wonder:

Am I Politically Incorrect in My Reading Habits?
