The Top 5 Translated Classics on My TBR

January 22, 2020.Reading time 6 minutes.

Two of my reading goals for this year are to read more classic novels and to read more diversely. And, because I’m brilliant (okay, not really), I realized I could kill two birds with one stone and read classics from different countries or cultures. Which just sounds kind of fun, and some of these were […]

Do I Read All the Books I Buy?

January 17, 2020.Reading time 6 minutes.

One thing I’d really like to work on this year is buying fewer books. (I know, I know, I am incapable of not buying a million books every year). But just for fun – or maybe to shame myself into actually resisting the urge to buy all the books – I thought I’d take a […]

My Most Anticipated 2020 Releases

January 8, 2020.Reading time 7 minutes.

It’s a new year, which means new books! There are so many great book releases already announced for this year. I’m pretty excited for quite a few books this year. But today, I’m focusing on the books I’m most excited about. All the books are linked to their Goodreads pages, so you can read more […]

My 2020 Reading Resolutions

January 2, 2020.Reading time 6 minutes.

My 2019 Reading Stats

December 31, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

It’s a tradition here on Adventures of a Bibliophile on the last day of the year to share my reading stats for the entire year. And this is definitely the year I regret reading so many books because this took me nearly SEVEN HOURS (partly because I couldn’t decide on the color scheme, but still). […]

Reading the Lowest Rated Books on My TBR

December 20, 2019.Reading time 9 minutes.

I feel like this is a bad idea. But I’m doing it anyway! I went (on Amazon) and bought the five lowest rated books on my Goodreads TBR. Well, I bought four, because I already owned one (which actually ended up being my least favorite of the bunch). I spent my own hard-earned money on […]

Did I Read My Most Anticipated 2019 Releases?

December 19, 2019.Reading time 9 minutes.

Every year, I like to share my most anticipated upcoming releases. I get really excited about new books (who doesn’t?) and I like to share those with you. It’s always a great feeling when I get comments that you added a book to your TBR, or didn’t know your favorite author was coming out with […]
