The craziness of everything going caused a lot of us to shift away from our 'obligated reading' and focus more on mood reading as a whole. For me, this was tough. I set a ton of goals … Continue reading Why I’m (mostly) Giving Up Reading Challenges For 2021

What Makes a Good Horror Story (To Me)
So, first let me clear the air and say that I am NOT an authority on Horror at all. I....don't actually read a lot of Horror? I think I did go through a phase in my youth. Ah, remember the days when there was actually a Horror section in the bookstore? I do. Does that … Continue reading What Makes a Good Horror Story (To Me)
On Book Recommendations
Today I'm talking about book recommendations. As a moderator and long time member of the r/fantasy community on reddit, this is something that comes up often on there and I've seen it spill over into other book discussion areas like 'book' twitter. Why are book recommendations such a hot button topic? Well, over on r/fantasy … Continue reading On Book Recommendations

What We Read – Are Older Titles Worth Exploring?
Yes! Yes, they are! Welp, glad we solved that, let's pack it in folks, all done here. 😉 Just kidding. Obviously, I have a lot more to say about this topic.

Rereads: Comfort Reading vs The Ever Growing TBR Pile
Today I thought I'd talk a bit about one of my favorite topics--rereading books! To reread or not to reread? That is the conundrum, especially when you're a book blogger and you may have other book 'commitments' like ARCs/review copies or you need to read to write reviews so you can create content for your … Continue reading Rereads: Comfort Reading vs The Ever Growing TBR Pile
The Comfort and Exhaustion of Online Spaces – A Dichotomy in Five Part Harmony
Hello and welcome again to another edition of Lisa Has an Opinion on Things. This post is going to be a bit full of rambles because I'm afraid I don't have a much of a thesis statement nor a conclusion because apparently I've forgotten how to write essays since I've been out of school. As … Continue reading The Comfort and Exhaustion of Online Spaces – A Dichotomy in Five Part Harmony
